I hadn't caught up with your...Am interesting post. I hadn't caught up with your November posts until now. <BR/><BR/>I live in the land of flirting, of quite blatant, accepted, open infidelity. <BR/><BR/>At first I was offended by all that I saw around me, and had to remind myself not to make judgements in another culture. Later I saw what I consider to be two sides to the story. It doesn't make me more comfortable with it, but maybe more tolerant of things which are perhaps more honest and open here than in other cultures. <BR/><BR/>Single, I have been approached by nore married men than single ones. Now they no longer bother me, they see that I wont respond.<BR/><BR/>My friend base remains small, I spend my evenings alone. I am romantic at heart, and know that "one day my prince will come". But until that day, "better safe than sorry", I say. <BR/><BR/>I notice that you mention only the men being unfaithful. How could they be, if the women turned them down? "It takes two to tango", I believe. Perhaps we should start by teaching our daughters well? At the end of the day, it is the woman who has the power to say "no". <BR/><BR/>Or do we accept that it is a part of life, almost "normal"? Marriage is a social institution created to protect children. Perhaps monogomy is not the norm for the human race? <BR/><BR/>Infidelity is not new... look at the history of the Kings and Queens with their consorts and lovers. Each generation repeats history, just a little differently. Here, in 2009, we are not likely to lose our political positions -or our heads -if we refuse to hand our daughters over to the monarch who fancies a little dalliance on the side. Infidelity may be more open now, but it has always been there.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237406486736942911noreply@blogger.com
