Midlife? Poor Wife

Why do some men go through metamorphosis after their 40th birthday?  Why do some lose their mind and/or moral compass?  Why do so many get a girlfriend when they already have a wife?  Why can't they just go buy an expensive car?  These are questions that all wives want to know the answers to.  Given the option, I would definitely opt for the new Porsche.

It bewilders me every time I hear a friend tell me about another infedelity in a marriage.  More and more often it is happening with couples that seem to have had a solid foundation.  Why do so many choose to cheat?  Is it the attention?  Is it the sex?  Is it male instinct?  Inquiring wives want to know.  More importantly, how can these men live with the guilt of what they are doing?  The lies, the lies, the lies.  It takes a lot of planning and preparation to have a girlfriend on the side - getting stories straighty, alibis, planning, receiving/deleting texts, avoiding getting caught, calling out the correct name, etc......  The planning seems horendous.  Let's face it ladies.  How many of our husbands can manage planning a dinner party?  So, how do they manage planning a secret life?  Hmmm...

Is it worth it?  I think not.  My hubby is 41 and I hope that he drives home in a new Porsche some day.  That is a thrill I can deal with even if our bank account cannot.  Why would any man choose a girlfriend instead of a car?  We all know that cars are much easier to deal with!  Cars are not moody or crazy, and in the end - they will cost a lot less than a girlfriend will.  You get to keep your self respect and your family.
