Cheating on you
Someone called me yesterday and said she needed to talk. She suspects her husband is cheating on her. Her husband has been working in Texas and coming home on weekends. When he comes home, they fight. They have an adolescent son. My response was not sympathetic, and I regret it. She said to me “I think he is seeing someone else and I need your help.” I said, “You want a divorce because I’ve had three and can help you.” Then she said, “I don’t know what I want.” And I said, “Well you’ve been miserable with him for the past few years and he is gone most of the time so I’m not surprised he is seeing someone else. But more than likely it is just for sex.” She said, “Yes, that must be it. Men need sex more than women.”
Then I knew that she was delusional. She doesn’t want to lose him. She took the small crumb I gave her of positive news and turned that into the answer to her problem.
Let’s set the record straight – men don’t want sex more than women do and a woman in love will believe anything.
