Tit for tat

Dear Hubby came home one night and asked, "Can you name me any of your guy friends who has never cheat or lie to their wives or girlfriends?" I paused and started to think hard. Honestly, I can't think of any!

If you happened to marry a husband who's a businessman, CEO or of the similar job category that need lots of entertaining clients (or perhaps be entertained), then he can't run away from butterflies. And no, I'm not talking about insects here. Butterflies means the girls in KTV who has a mamasan just like the one you see in Hong Kong movies. They sit next to the customers (sometimes they do more than that if they tip them well), chat, drink and play games with them. I have to admit, my husband is one of them.

If you have to ask, that's not cheating to me but more of trust issue. Imagine one business partner say this to you, "Our company is very pleased doing business with you. We would like you to have this Birkin, complimentary from us." Do you say, "No, thank you." or more likely to say, "Thank you very much! It's a pleasure doing business with you too." and walk away with a new Birkin in hand?

See, it's the same with guys. It's not Birkin they get but butterflies. It's all paid for by one party under company expense for the other party to enjoy. But how sure are we that they didn't do anything funny with the butterflies? We don't. It's based on trust. And let's face the fact, butterflies are more common than Birkin.

Like how Dear Hubby always say, "All men cheat to some extent. The difference is one tells his wife and the other decided to keep it a secret. Therefore, on contrary to traditional marriage beliefs and to guard our vulnerable feelings, we, women should never trust our husbands completely, no?
