Men with "Scandals" - Code of Ethics

            A couple of years ago I wrote a code of ethics for the "other woman". It's time I write one for the men who have "other" women.

1.    If you're one of those who can't afford to pay a hefty retainer fee, then don't expect your lover to stay home waiting for your call.
2.    You're cheating on your wife. Don't expect your lover to be loyal to you.
3.    You're always lying to your wife. Don't expect honesty from your lover.
4.    You're obliged to spend time with your family. Do not let your affair eat into your family time.
5.    You're responsible for the wellbeing of your family. Don't you dare "tighten" your family budget. If you have to do this, that means you can't afford a "scandal".
6.    If you hooked her by flashing your wealth, don't act the drama king if your lover leaves you for a "bigger fish" . She's an opportunist...just like you.
7.    Your lover has a life of her own. Don't throw a fuss when she spends time with her friends and family.
8.    If you want her to act like a wife toward you, marry her.
9.    This is an illegal relationship. She owes you nothing.
10.  Don't "repossess" the gifts you gave her. That's so un-cool! However, you're allowed to cancel the supplementary card when the relationship ends.
11.  If she dates another guy regularly while in a relationship with you, that's not "cheating". Remember: she's NOT your wife. She's just exploring her options.
12.  That ring you gave her doesn't bind her in any way. It's just a gift. Same goes for the house and car if you're besotted enough to gift her those.
13.  Don't drop in on her unannounced. You may get an unpleasant surprise. Should this happen, don't raise the riot act. Refer item #9.

Oh, btw, there's this song......your wife could do the same you know.......
