Wow.<BR/>I wrote a huge response replete with male limbic node sentiments and some futurecasting which I convinced myself NOT to send in case you got mad at me.<BR/><BR/>I am sure that you have considered the scenario that I wrote about but perhaps it is best to just crumple it up and stick it in my drawer until you are finished.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say that personally I don't know one guy who would not consider a lesbian affair to be a betrayal of equal or greater severity...especially if they had a religious cosmology.<BR/><BR/>Ok ready for more..Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-34238338479606148952007-12-07T12:36:00.000-05:002007-12-07T12:36:00.000-05:00Well written, interesting and easy to read!

How emasculating for a man. I...This is a sad story. How emasculating for a man. Imagine his wife having an affair and to top it all with a woman! Someone once told me that a bisexual is a lesbian who has not made up her mind. Sexuality aside, the woman needs to make up her mind. Unfortunately most men do not think that a wife having an affair with another woman is committing adultery. I really do not know what to think of all of these. This is a very complicated and messy scenario. It's a double-edged sword for the husband. He'll be a traitor if he leaves a wife he loves at a time when she has cancer. I feel so sorry for the husband and the children. It's a riveting story and I can't wait to see how it all ends, if only I can supress my superego.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-8116288678552343652007-12-06T13:58:00.000-05:002007-12-06T13:58:00.000-05:00geeez rm! get that imagination of yours reved up a...geeez rm! get that imagination of yours reved up and you'll have no problem with details! at least so i hope!<BR/><BR/>:)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-90696777451420054082007-12-06T12:51:00.000-05:002007-12-06T12:51:00.000-05:00oh, the x-rated part was the husband and bartender...oh, the x-rated part was the husband and bartender swearing.
