Multiple Affairs Can be So Hard to Manage!
A ramble and gentle rant about multiple love affairs and wether they can be managed affectively, as opposed to the easy one lover option, which may or may not be just as hard to manage.
Some people just have to do things in multiples. The question is .. which is easier? assuming your thinking about one or the other!
I heard that Tiger Woods has been over doing the viagra. I don’t know if it’s true, so I have no comment to make. Let me prequalify by saying I don’t really feel on way or the oher. Just sad for the pain it has caused his wife and any one else who may have been concerned.
A few months ago, I would have had plenty to say… Afterall- what gives him- or any man the right to cheat on his partner- so many times aswell. I’m sure it may not all be true, but if it were, then multiple affairs just aren’t going to keep your side of the bed warm for very long. Obviously cupid bent his bow just a lttle too much, and ping! he was off to the next one. To a married woman, its just not an easy pill to swallow- and I’m not talking about Viagra pills.
I met a Mr Multiple recently. He buys sweets in multiple boxes. He buys Strawberries and trousers in multiples. If one item is good enough to buy- then hey- lets buy a dozen more more. This was one of the first observations I made when I met him. He’s not a Mormon, or a Muslim, so I don’t see he has multiple wifes. In fact he doesn’t have ANY wife. (that I know of.. He’s Lucky in some ways).
‘Bet he has multiple Girlfriends’, I thought. Shut down, brain! how dare you think in those terms?! Whats making you wonder about his social life? I continued, trying to explain how my product was the best in the whole wide world. Actually, I was wanting him to see how I was the best product in the whole wide world…
This is all very distressing indeed…. Middle aged and frayed at the edges, I didn’t have the courage to look him in the eyes. I would certainly turn into a pillar of salt, and who would cook dinner for my daughter tonight?!!
My husband could have done it- but if I had turned into a pillar of salt, perhaps he would have more pressing things on his mind. Would he damage and chisel away at my exterior until he found that seed of lust?, If I was a lion, that seed of lust would certainly be waiting to explode in my loins. Even worse, would he just take a look at me and know what I had been thinking? I thought so. BUT this was not the case…. SO….without much hesitation, I found a justifiable feeling to see Mr Multiple again and again and again.
Now I don’t know whats worse?- having multiple lovers at one time, or having one lover multiple times.
Neither option is right. I don’t think there is a lesser of the two evils. My Midlife crisis gives me an excuse to be weak.. to hold on to two lives, 3 existences and walk an emotional tightrope, strung so hard, that surely it relinquishes me of any responsibilty… and of my senses! ‘Diminished responsibilty, your honour -Mitigating Circumstances’ -It wasn’t me- I wasn’t there… It’s not my fault….. I like my lover very much….. Eros made me do it….
Eros and I have had heated conversations about this. And, as much as I try to negotiate, he blankly refuses to release me from captivity. He will not listen to reason, he will not allow me to escape. Eros knows what I want better than I do, myself. Holding me at knifepoint, his hand around my throat, he knows this is an emotional battle as well as a physical one, a battle which he is winning.
I reckon this is a form of obssesion. A crush is what its called when you are teenager. Now shame on you, Mr Tiger Woods. You shouldn’t spread yourself so thinly. Personally, I would never have an affair-with anyone other than my lover.. Multiples can be so hard to manage!…….

Very thought provoking article and very topical in the light of the Tiger Woods \’events\’! Any affair can be extremely damaging.
You\’ve handled this really well with a witty touch to it.

Affairs are a no-no for happiness and lasting joy in marriage. Affairs break too many hearts. Affairs can destroy you. Affairs can kill you. Flee affairs like a plague.

I find it interesting how you diffuse your own time-bomb with judgments about someone else’s that already went off namely Tiger Woods.
The humor works great as a buffer too and personally I think it a nice touch. Like self deprecating humor in the midst of a forthcoming tongue lashing tends to take the wind out of the lasher’s sails. (how is this for mixing of metaphors)
You are a talented writer but like all of us, myself most certainly included, a flawed human being.
