I was lucky enough that my gringa slowly accepted my descent into full mongerhood in this piecemeal fashion. I suspect that I am among the lucky 5% or so whose espousas are cool with the mongering as long as it is kept safe and in the proper (no love) perspective.
They exist. Believe it or not, some guys cannot handle it. I provide an example. When I was a young university administrator, I use to give a ride to one of the administrative assistants within my unit. We lived near each other, and she did not drive. One day she confessed that she was looking, as her husband left. HE WANTED A DIVORCE. I did not inquire, but she nevertheless explained.
It appeared that good old, Roman Catholic husband wanted to be able to see other women on the side. He confessed to his wife. Well, she did not have a problem with it. She told him fine, so long as he did not disrespect her or the house. In other words, he was free to sample other tail so long as he kept the other tail from the household and kept the other relationships strictly sexual. He could not take it. He told his wife that he did not feel comfortable with this permission, and believed it best to leave.
After she told me this, I received an appointment at another university across the country. There are days where I smack myself for not marrying this woman myself, when she presented her story. Oh, it gets better: She confessed that she had no desire to play, she simply believed that the average man cannot be tied to one woman.
Lord, have mercy.
