a serious post to match my serious picture

I read a book on my vacation (in one day because that's ALL I did...*sigh*) called "The Adultery Club." Of course it was chick lit (is there any other kind of lit?) but I thought it was good and somewhat thought provoking. It's about a married couple dealing with an affair (probably figured that one out already) but the interesting thing is that it's told from all three perspectives - that of the wife, husband, and skanky beeatch...I mean mistress. The funny thing was I knew what was going to happen but when that moment came I still got majorly pissed off and wanted to rip the husband's balls off. But when push came to shove the book had a good message in the end. I really tried to get TGD to read it but he wasn't too interested (he's not much of a "reader" unless it involves some medical crap, which I'm sure all of his patients appreciate). Anyways, a friend of a friend of mine recently went through all this so we had been discussing the whole cheating thing for a while now. At first her husband seemed like he was going to leave her but in the end I think they decided to try to work it out and get counseling. Personally, I don't think I would ever have to worry about TGD. He's the most steadfast guy I know, I don't think he could EVER do that to his kids (he lives for those girls) and I'm pretty sure he's still happy being with me (most days). Some people might consider that naive but I don't think I am. I mean, we've talked about it, I've considered the "what if" scenarios, but I don't ever let myself start doubting. I guess I'd rather be totally blindsided than paranoid

He would never cheat on you. Even when pissed, he says things like, "Damn it, she pisses me off, but she's so hot!" That man is plain whipped.
