Men have affairs. With perhaps the exception of monks.
By which I do not mean that every man commits adultery. No, the passion with which we can embrace our hobbies can be almost as consuming and in some cases almost as expensive.
For years my mistress was my PC, an excuse to disappear off to another room and drown in usenet. Then there was the secret spending-spree on eBay that lasted for months while I bought the train set I always wanted as a child but could only afford now that I was 30, but couldn't do anything with it because I kept it hidden at the office. There was the off-roading, where it felt like my Land Rover was the other woman.
Ok, so perhaps they are just escapes or recreations. Not so bad, at least they weren't 'proper' affairs. No, they're just the start...
I have managed to rack up quite a history. Whether it be the unrequited love of a long-term platonic relationship, weeks of tongue-tangling with a girl years younger than me or the full on fling that was sexual, emotional and turned into love. I have shared emails and MSN conversations (including video) that blurred the line between erotic and downright pornographic, with strangers, friends and colleagues. Oh, I think I can chuck in a one-night stand somewhere along the line too. All this, and married at the time.
I am no longer married, there's a surprise. Although I will be again in just over 8 weeks. So, have I really changed? Will I now be faithful? I think so, I certainly feel different, I've grown up. I'm also in love, in an honest relationship.
Mind, there's always you, my darling blog. How does it feel, being my 'bit-on-the-side'?
