So a mistress is a potential threat?

Tricks

And can also be said for his own squad, they are jealous of their leader loving the other ape colony and have crushed their oponent in a reaction. I'm curious which world class tricks El Pibe de Oro still has in store. Cause there is a thin line indeed.
The trick of his assistent Billardo is controversial.

There is a thin line between being a writers fan and being a writers stalker.

Nationalism is to overrate one's own interests.

Intimiteit, intimidatie

Intimiteit en initiatie

Socialism is to overrate one's own sentiment?

Thin lines

There's a thin line between love and hate.

This article suggests love is blind (your brain on drugs) and hate is not:

Perhaps love is abandoment of the self in the interests of self-reproduction and hate is self-preservation (seeking to destroy/banish the cause of the "virus" that has entered one's mind).

I would argue that men with mistresses love their mistresses more than their wives. In fact, they might very well secretly hate their spouses. It is interesting though that one does not hear often of men hating their (ex-)mistresses. There seems to be a special form of hate held only by victims of miserable mating choices.

As for intimidation of mistresses, are you sure this isn't redirected hate?

Mieke

Yes.

It would be a bad thing for all people involved if a man loves his wife more than his mistress.
But the obvious question is: when he loves his mistress so much more than his wife why doesn’t he leave his wife?

vicious circle

when a mistress becomes a wife , it just starts all over again.

I am old fashioned. A man should love his wife more than his mistress. That's better for all parties involved. And natural.

I suspect that , in brief, the man does not leave his wife because he is simply too shit scared. (This may include being scared of himself.)

Remember that by definition we are discussing the case where the man has not left his wife, otherwise the "other woman" would not be a mistress, but a girlfriend (or at least a "lady friend"). A different personality type might already have left the wife and remarried twice since.

I also suspect that , at certain point, the wife becomes, to a certain extent, a mother figure to the husband. If this is the case, it introduces tremendous emotional complications.

Another question is: if the wife knows about the husband's affairs (and she almost always knows intuitively), why doesn't she kick him out? (Of course, I am disregarding the possibility that she is using her husband's infidelity as a justification for her own (possibly past) infidelities.)

The main thing offered by marriage is a certain level of domestic stability (necessary particularly for raising children). It does not seem to matter if it is often an unsatisfying or even a miserable stability.

And, of course, men are often great immature fools. Or hopelessly romantic. Sometimes its a matter of perspective.

Carlos

He doesn’t leave his wife because he has two young children and his wife is expecting a third one.
He prefers regret to guilt.
