MIDDLE AGE – SUGGESTIONS

Posted under Men's Health-Erectile Dysfunction by admin

Doris Odium’s views suggest that women should accept the man’s affair, at whatever cost to their own emotional health. Some women have been conditioned by their upbringing to do this, and accept the double standard of sexuality. Others are as ‘mature’ as the hypothetical woman in the quotation, but see no reason why they should be the victim. They fail to see why the man should not be sufficiently ‘mature’ to appreciate that his wife may also be in an

emotionally unstable state, and that his actions may be aggravating her distress. Most men in this type of relationship would be horrified if the wife had a lover, but see no contradiction that they have a lover themselves.

In these circumstances, the woman should show her distress and anger, not only because she feels angry and humiliated, but to avoid repressing the anger which may damage her own emotional well-being. But she must also be aware that by over-reacting, she may put herself in a position from which she cannot withdraw. If the couple want to continue living together, to rediscover the depth of their relationship, they have to be able to talk with each other. The first conversations may be heated and destructive, but if they persist they may well find that they have not been communicating for years, and may be able to become reacquainted.
