 Many marriages that crashed would have survived if the same attention given to the extramarital affairs that ended them had been given to the marriage itself This is about men who think other women's problems are their own.  A man would leave his unhappy wife to console another unhappy woman who is probably a single parent, saying she doesn't have a husband. You, whose wife has a husband which is you, does she enjoy you? You leave work to stop at another womanā€™s place to keep her company when you are supposed to go home. While you are with the other woman, who is keeping your own wife company? You give advice to your female friends that you would never give your own wife, presenting yourself as a good person while nagging about everything your wife does. Will you ever see the good part of your wife with that attitude? You nurture a woman who is not your wife just because she is vulnerable and you want to get down with her. If you nurtured your wife the same way, you wouldn...
