The old adage is that love makes the World go round but in fact most people concede that it is sex that makes the journey interesting. Sex is responsible for so many of the World’s disasters: Samson and Delilah; Cleopatra and Mark Anthony; Marilyn and the Kennedys (both of them…) Baby boomers just adore sex and all the romance and intrigue that surround it and marriage need not necessarily dilute sexual interest (okay, in many cases it does).
Psychological articles on elderly problems portray The World of the ‘kept’ mistress as necessarily covert and also lonely. Whenever affairs, long term or otherwise, are brought to light it is usually the wife who draws sympathy, prompting a series of clichéd platitudes such as, ‘After xx years of marriage, how could he…’ or, ‘She was the last to find out…’ (Well, obviously, you idiot – if she had been the first, it would probably never have taken place!) or; ‘It’s the children who suffer’ – this last is true – it is the children who suffer.
Women who discover their husbands have been ‘playing away’ invariably imagine the mistress to be someone plastered in eye liner and wearing an ensemble that would not look out of place on Hollywood Boulevard but the truth is that men who fall into long term affairs find it difficult to extricate their affections from women who are intelligent, caring, affectionate, and considerate. Sorry, ladies, the truth is that most mistresses are everything the wife would love to be. Ouch!
One of the more common observations made by lady baby boomers on discovering their husband’s infidelity is: “Well if I spent XX dollars every week on clothes and make up, I could have an affair too!!” This is true, you could; but you didn’t, so you’re not and anyway that isn’t why he did it. Listen up girlfriend – men stay with their mistresses because they get something from the other woman they do not get from you. Simple. What is that ‘something?’ Well, if we knew that, the World would be happily married, wouldn’t it?
Mistresses at any age, not just baby boomers, can have a rough life when it comes down to it – they spend every family holiday alone; they have nobody to visit them in the hospital when they are sick, except for well meaning friends which is not the same as having your husband or partner bring you flowers and hugs when you are feeling low; they have to cope with every household emergency without the support of a male partner; they are expected to welcome unscheduled sex in the small windows of opportunity that present at odd times of day or night; psychological articles acknowledge that mistresses are deeply affected by their relationships and usually end up lonely and hurt: they are not all love rats.
