Not The Other Woman

[jw5]

I'm sure you have read or heard of many stories about "the other woman". You may even know some women who are or were "the other woman", or the mistress of a married man.
I'm never interested in the other woman. She must have her own reasons for being a mistress. Financial reasons, for fun, for love, whatever. As for the man, we all know the reason. He is well off, the wife has grown old and frigid, he is still virile, his financial standing allows him to find someone younger and sexier.
What interests me most is the thinking of the wife.
Does she know or does she pretend not to know?
What are the reasons she continues to stay with him?
Does she use the children as an excuse? Or are the reasons purely financial?
Does she mind that her children, her relatives or her friends know and talk?
Would it make a difference to her actions if someone actually tells her or discusses with her, as opposed to remaining an ostrich?

Some women only want sex to make babies. After happy with number of babies/ children they wanted they turn off sex with her husband. So you can't blame the man keep another woman, like having a mobile phone.

Married men keep 'another woman' is like having a mobile phone and a line phone at the same time. Wife is like a line phone which is cheap to maintain, while the other woman is treated like mobile phone. Mobile phone service is expensive, no money to pay services it gets cut off.

There are a few categories I can think of:
1) women who need to depend on the men financially, she has no income whatsoever

2) women who dunno what they want and dunno how to handle if they confront their men with the truth

3) women who think the men will return eventually, they believe it's just a phase. Like many people say as long as they wipe their mouths clean when they come home.

4) women who dun see the need to do anything because they are also having their share of fun, this marriage is probably just a 'working' relationship.

That's why I always think that the wife is much more interesting than the other woman.

What a coincidence that I started this thread just before Jack's story broke.
I am fascinated by Jack's wife. What kind of person is she? Is she seething inside? Or is she really as calm as what she appears to be?
