"Borrowed" from another blogger

I could not help noticing how men use the 'I no longer sleep with my wife' card every time they not only want to get into your knickers but also get hold of your heart.

I suppose the hopelessness of a man who sleeps in the spare room is guaranteed to pull the right emotional strings; it also explains and justifies his lust for extra-conjugal sex; finally, it gives the lover the misplaced certainty that their relationship must be mutually exclusive. A romantic hat-trick.
