I was surprised they lasted that long. The sexin' was infrequent and lousy, the boyfriend was the slob half of the Odd Couple, and they wanted different things out of life. Plus, the boyfriend cheated (and ultimately got what he deserved, as you will see.) But it seemed to work ok for a month or two.
Until! The boyfriend returned home early one night and was surprised to find candles, a used ashtray and two empty wineglasses in the sink.
My buddy (whom I still call "Helium Heels") was abed with a rather goodlooking Craigslist hookup, sexin' away with Hard Mechanics 2 on DVD a-playin'. Fortunately he was able to 'fess up, get the boyfriend to take a walk, and kick the craggy Craiggy to the curb without them actually seeing eachother.
He remains defiant. And I got him a gift certificate to The Red Roof Inn for Christmas.

And, my lesbian friends love it because there are A LOT of "straight" girls in long term relationships with men who want one night stands with girls on Ashley Madison.

What I find amusing is that my partner (and several other of my female friends) have told me that if you are female and over 30 Courgared is a wonderful way to boost your ego - despite how ridiculously cheesy the site design is.

She seems healthy enough to me. I think she likes the married ones because she says that a lot of out lesbians often get really clingy and in general she just wants to get laid.

Beware. I have heard that private investigators can use ashleymadison as a means to gather evidence or worse, "create business". I have no idea if this is true or not, but I have dealt with a handful of PI's and this is something I would not put past them.
I vaguely remember a story in the news a few months/year ago where a woman would blackmail the men she met on a cheaters website (I believe one man was blackmailed more than once, until he had enough!).

We misbehave the old fashioned way. I try to hook up with girls who comment on my blog and/or hit brothels and she just lets guys she likes know she's not in a monogamous relationship.

And really, I'm an expat writer in Europe. I wouldn't be living up to my cliche if I wasn't in a brothel every so often.

A variation of this happened about four years ago. One of my friends had just gotten dumped in a really, really bad way.
He was in one of those "I'm never going to be with a girl again" modes of freaking out.
So, we took him to Barcelona, got him drunk and then took him to my favorite brothel.
While he went off to one of the back rooms with a cute blond thing, my gf and I drank beer and watched the strippers/live sex show.
She then realized she had a mini crush on one of the working girls - but was too shy to approach her myself.
Being a gentleman I went up and talked to the girl for her. She explained that she didn't do girls but could suggest several other girls for my girlfriend.
I told my lady this, but she was hell bent on this girl. So, she asked if I would ask the girl I could do her while she watched - because my girlfriend really wanted to see this girl getting sexy.
The downside (and I will regret this forever) is that I'd been drinking since 5 p.m. and it was now like 3 a.m. and I was unsure if my equipment would work.
So, I passed - on the one and only time in my life that a girlfriend will ever offer to pay another girl to have sex with me.

Yes, family comes first and you do everything you can to not get caught.
The rule of thumb is "do not do anything that would embarrass your spouse."
And, yeah, the second you got caught you'd stop the affair.
And yeah obvious and disruptive affairs would not only end a marriage but would get you ostracized by your friends.
Affairs are supposed to be whispered about with your same gender friends and kept discreet.
And, I think that's a good policy

And yes, it seems like she participated in the fantasy.

In fact, I'm going to send Violet a link to this post. I know for a fact that she did the deed with her new boyfriend in her husband's bed last week!
(This isn't giving away any secrets, it's in her blog.)

Sounds like a lovely lady.
Related, I have now put off marriage another 5 years.
12/01/09
She's very much turned herself into who she wants to be.
And shes' wicked smart. She and I spend hours every week talking about books, music and other interesting shit.
12/01/09
And here I was yesterday, joking about getting paid to comment on Gawker.

She sounds interesting. She must be smart, to have 26 different lovers behind her husband's back without him knowing.
Either that, or the husband just does not give a rat's ass.
But if she is that unhappy with her marriage, shouldn't she get out of it?
12/01/09
Also, I suspect her husband does know but doesn't want to know. And since he brags to her about getting some on the side I have zero sympathy for him.

when I get bored, I get horny – and I'm bored a lot of the time
Being a book lover myself, I can relate. Joyce and Proust bore the crap out of me too.

Well that changes things, knowing the husband is tomcatting around.
But I find it hard to believe she is happy. Her husband is never around, cheats on her, brags about it, while she sleeps with various men and blogs about it.
This is a cry for help. Perhaps you should get her in touch with me. I think I can "help".
12/01/09
And I can see where you are coming from - but after knowing her for several years I'm 99 percent positive she's very happy.
I think she's the exception to the rule on these things.

What you call an "angle", is my heed to her cry for help.
So cynical, Books, baby.

Hi Violet.
I was joking, about the cry for help, not about my actual offer of "help." My offer of help was serious, on the condition that I see photos, face is optional.

I was just trying to be gentlemanly. You know, protect her identity. Did I come off wrong? I promise Violet, that usually never happens.

But you said you are old school.

Hearing it from him was amusing - because I imagined the cuckolded husband coming home and my buddy running away half-naked, clothes in hand, while banjos played - but writing it out, it just looks creepy.
