> For a start it wasn't called cheating. I'm not sure it was even talked about much. My mother's way of putting it to me (when I was 10?) was 'your father believes in the double standard, but I don't.' I can't imagine her saying or feeling that it was cheating. For a start cheating would be the wrong word because cheating is done in secret. It was painful for her, of course.
yes. but sometimes the options seem to be
1) put up with it and continue to have financial support etc for you and your dependent child
2) put your foot down and lose financial support etc for you and your dependent childput that way... what are you going to do?
and he... gets the best of both worlds.

> Did you actually find the words soulmate in any fairy story?nah. its something you hear people talk about sometimes though. i just wonder how much that idea JUSTIFIES giving up everything for the feeling of the moment...
>Princes and princesses are cool.

>As an Australian I find the mate thing makes me distinctly uneasy, John Howard notwithstanding. But I like souls, as in 'in that Russian town there were 20,000 souls before the famine.'
