Marie Clair magazine has a good three page plus article on emtoinal affairs....

reveals the anatomy of them...
good article on an affair being an addiction
all about CT scans and the release of dopamine...

states that
when the object of your desire is someone you aren't allowed to be with, that novelity revs up your levels of dopamine even more and activiates the production of testosterone associated with sex drive...
then states that

this combo makes you do irrational things to get more "doses"...of him/her...you even build up a tolerance the more contact you have the more you'll need it...(them)

it's a good article

there's a quiz that asks are you having an emotional affair

strong recomendations on how to end it..
NO Contact and cold turkey

if affair has gotter physical the only smart thing to do is to leave your job.....

I have suscribed to this magazine for years...how else would I know the "IN" way to drape myself in couture or where to apply WAX ...... being just a stupid WIFE.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and though not always in 10000000% agreement with their views ...
they nailed this article...
made it nothing but a bad thing
and made is sound as serious as it is...so I give them kudos for that.....................

just thought I'd share....

Thank goodness ark..I was thinking well heres another mag I WONT be buying anymore!
Nice to see a mag hit it on the head for all concerned.

Yesterday I read this decription on our milsite which though brutal may not be far from the truth in many cases..

Once may be a terrible act of carelessness and stupidity.

Twice is gross negligence and a lack of compassion and caring.

Thrice is malicious aforethought and deliberate planning - divorce the SOB or b*tch involved asap.

There but for the grace of God, loving family and dear H ..
makes you think.

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Is that an international edition or a US edition? Being a chap I've never really read it, but my mother would be more than happy to pick it up and pass it on to my WW. In a very subtle manner, of course.

I'm in the UK.

Wtt, I'm sure its the same mag, made in US but sold to the rest of us. I wouldn't think there's a different edition for each country.

I just want to clarify that there are diff versions of Marie Claire ard the world. So the UK articles may be different though I wouldn't know if they are in this particular month's issue since I'm not in the UK, but I peruse lists of lots of mags on a constant basis.

Here is a question that I would like to see what others here think.
1) Would giving this magazine to your WS be of any benefit?
Would your WS take this the wrong way and get mad?
2) My thought was to give my WS the mag and not even point out the story. Just move one of those subscription forms to the story.
3) Just tell her I heard a good story and thought you might like to read it and give her the mag.

THANKS ARK...
BTW- The story is good. I went out and bought the mag this morning and read it over my break.

It was one of these same "women's" magazines that jus a few short years ago, published a step by step guide to how to leave your husband for your lover while keeping the kids and alimony...

The editors are completely amoral...whatever sells advertising is what gets published.
