It was one of those pleasant dinners at Trixie’s, with the usual number of eight persons and good food churned out from her kitchen. As usual it was a splendid meal with no corners cut.  

Discussion during the relaxed after dinner drink was how some women are victims of their cheating husbands.   Trixie’s take was that at times onlookers are misguided and keep blaming the man whilst it could well be the woman who was driving the man insane,  which makes him search for outside solace to get away from them.

Most people marry the love of their lives whom they found in their early years without having time to learn about each other and develop their lives thereafter.  With the waning of the romance they seem to get tired of each other.  However, this does not necessarily result in giving each other up but these people move on to the next stage of their marriage taking care of the children, entertaining and carrying on in general.  Most sensible women find employment to get them out of their home for a while during the day, while the more affluent stay at home and involve themselves in charity work or some other goodwill tasks.  

The dangerous ones are those who stay at home and decide to do nothing and sooner or later begin to wallow in their own misery. When the misery takes over they  turn out to be nags complaining of being neglected, unloved, unwanted and any other negative feelings that they go through. Such continuous nagging soon begins to drive the husband insane.  It is here that the husband decides to handle the situation.  
As most of these luxury problems are associated with the upper income group the smarter ones tolerate their wives’ nonsenses and indulge them, compensating themselves with frequent journeys overseas to lead a different life for a few days and return born again to put up with the parody at home.

The not so big spenders or savers make the fatal move of getting involved with a junior staff member in the office.

One can only imagine the resulting chaos which drives the wife more insane. The mistress being the boss’s delight wishes to make the wife’s life hell and then makes the final move of marrying her boss. One can only imagine where this mess is going to end up.

All of this sums up the fact that owing to the unhappy and discontented wife the husband resorts to an outside affair and the world is sometimes misguided into thinking that the lady in the house is the victim.
