That Woman
My uncle can't speak Japanese, even though he's been married to my aunt for almost 30 years. He's very handsome, but a little dumb. Imagine Keanu Reeves only older and whiter.
Last night at dinner, he started insisting that the skin of the fish is delicious if you toast it. He failed to convince my mother, my aunt, or me. Then my aunt said in Japanese that "that woman" had told him about the skin being delicious.
One day my aunt gets a phone call from "that woman's" husband. "Open your eyes and look at what's happening! My wife just got on her hands and knees and apologized for falling in love with your husband!"
Oh man, my uncle then got his ass seriously kicked. My aunt spelled it out to him. "Do you want to lose me, my sisters, your nieces and nephews?" To which he said, "I'll have nothing." Which is true, his parents are dead and his one brother is a constantly relapsing drug addict who shows up every few years asking for money.
Then "that woman" called him with her genius plan of them running away together. He told her, "what the fuck are you talking about? That was NEVER what I wanted." Which, for a gentle man of as little words as my uncle, was a big deal.
Ever since "that woman"-gate, my aunt has been constantly mean to my uncle, and my uncle has constantly been in the dog house. Things do get a little mean, especially when my aunt makes fun of him in Japanese with him in the room, and she's funny so it's hard not to laugh out loud.
To be fair, "that woman" still talks to him, and he still answers, so it is sort of his fault he's still in the dog house.
Personally, I think the whole situation is laughable because my uncle is such a clueless dunce and it's just funny to see him in the middle of all this drama. His looks are quite disproportionate to his intelligence, really.

awww, I feel so sorry for him!
But I guess for your aunt - things will never be the same because it's always on the back of her mind.
I do hope she gets over it though.
Ummm..well, I'm not sure why such anymosity...I mean did he hump her silly? Because from how you describe it it sounds like the other woman just flirted with him shamelessly and your uncle is a total innocent...if that's the case then your aunt is just being a bitch and dumb or not I'd say your uncle deserves better!
On the other hand, if he did bang the other woman silly for a time, then I suppose it's sort of deserved....though...to be completely fair...and to paraphrase a hilarious Russian woman I saw explain male/female relationships....why did he have to go hunting out of the house? It meant he still had some sperm to release....which makes the woman of the house a "bad" woman... :)
Not judging anyone by the way, just saying :)
Then again, she married him. Her first husband was an overbearing son of a big shot and an heir to a fortune. But that didn't work out, you can't have two dominant people in a marriage.
It's just further proof to me that marriage is so complicated.
Yeah...tell me about it.
You know Chris Rock's take on it...you have two choices:
1) Single and Lo-oonely....or
2) Married and bored out of your fucking mind!
I'm thinking there just simply HAS to be a third alternative.
The last gf I had, which was over 2 years ago, when we had just started getting together and she was head over heels and I was not yet said I was the guy...and I skeptically said...what...you are 27...you really think you are not going to fuck anyone else for the next 60 years? Or me either? She did surprise me by instantly saying "Oh no...no, I am not saying we will not fuck other people!" Which I thought was quite evolved of her....unfortunately as it turned out later she didn't really mean it and in fact was insanely jealous. She actually started fights with me because ads with pretty women came on while we were watching TV.
Come to think of it more than one woman in my life has had this attitude that I was responsible for everything from the weather to the commercials that came on...it's good to be thought well of, but I think they took it too far when they ascribed ominpotence to me... I did end my marriage by telling my now ex-wife that I was obviously her GOD, as I was responsible for everything in her universe including her moods and the weather. Yeah...didn't go down too well but it got the point accross I think.
So anyway ...yeah...not sure what the ideal relationship is. I know I don't like being lonely, because essentially I associate it with being bored, and possibly the only thing worse than being bored on your own is being bored with someone else....so...dunno...I am thinking maybe the answer is some sort of relationship that includes emotional/spiritual loyalty but not necessarily physical loyalty...though I dunno..that seems like a messy way to live unless you are really both on that wavelength. I did meet one girl that I think can/could live like that and we did have that sort of "relationship" though we were never really IN a relationship as such, and I know at least one or two other girls like that...but then I didn't click with them in the mystic click way.
I'm thinking that would make an excellent QoTD:
If you could have the PERFECT relationship, what would it be? But it has to be based in real-world humanity. That is...maybe your perfect relationship would be to live in a harem, but then you have to describe how you'd deal with the jealousy of the women/men in your harem...etc. etc.
So...what would it be for you?
Hahahahahah!!!
Beautiful! I am not exactly sure what that means but it's intruguing. I mean would the nuns watc? help? or just absolve you of your continuous sinning and buzzing through mass?
As for the short term relationship that makes you a better person...wow...that is a category?? Because I think I have the trademark on that one. There are legions of men out there that owe me large crates of whisky, gold bars and krugerrands. The fuckers don't even send a postcard with a thank-you note. And here I taught their now gf/wives/females how to swallow regularly, be better people, learn how to read maps and do logic at least occasionally, not to mention learn how to enjoy having orgasms easily and regularly and basically recognise that worshiping the cock is their one true religion.
Truly men are ungrateful bastards sometimes.... :) :) :)
If I may make a suggestion...
Generally the thing we say we fear is not the thing we fear. The thing we fear lives inside us.
Sometimes I think no truer words were ever spoken than the ones at Delphi:
"Man; know thyself."
And it's true. If you DO know yourself and clean up all your non-useful patterns of behaviour (which entails cleaning up your old traumas, good and bad both) you will be left with a balanced person. A balanced person fears very little in life.
Because in truth, there is very little to actually fear in life. If you can observe clearly you will generally spot a damaged person/situation/etc long before it has a chance to damage you, so the best defense is the ability to clearly and objectively observe. This requires a cleaning and deleting of as many of our mind-filters as possible.
