The Donkey;s admonition to feature only a picture of your wife on your desk reminded me of Tony, he president of his own one man PR firm.

Tony, in his 50's at the time, kept a picture of his young girlfriend on his desk. On the rare occaions Tony's wife visited, her picture replaced the grlfriend's.

Ton lived into his early 80's with the same wife and different girlfriend despite the strain of living a double life.

I'm not passing moral judgement because I used to know married men who kept girlfriends on the side. One young man came home at 4 a.m. after a tryst with another woman. As he unbottoned his shirt, his wife woke up and said, "oh, you're going to work early this morning." My friend replied "yes," buttoned up this shirt and headed into New York again.

Wife advice? Don't know Perhaps others might like to comment on what it's like to be in love with another while married.

i like to say her halloween costumes, but i describe them as if they are real clothes so she has to guess for a while. for example, i will say oh that black dress you have, she will wonder which and ask for more details and i will say, it is long and and loose fitting, this goes on until she gets annoyed realizing it is her witch costume.

I keep a photo of my wife in my wallet. If she ever says anything like this, I pull out the photo and say “look like this”
