Infidelity - part 2







Tales of Infidelity


When you know the people involved it is difficult to be impartial and say infidelity is good or bad. I know someone who is aged 73 and recently his wife tracked him and his mistress (who is also aged 73) down to a hotel. There was then a showdown and the husband and wife can barely speak to each other now. The husband is under a psychiatrist and he has broken up with his mistress who invited the husband to live with her. The daughter of the couple concerned will not speak to the father. In short the husband, the wife, the mistress, the daughter and the granddaughter are all devastated. There are no winners in infidelity cases - only people whose lives are shattered.

Although there are no winners in the short term perhaps the experiences that occur in such cases makes the people involved stronger to deal with life's disappointments (and hopefully, eventually, without the bitterness.
