That's the part I don't get: cheating for carnal pleasures being ok. There's even a Chinese saying for it "捧场做戏". I don't understand why men can say that to themselves and when their women were to even for a split second flirt with another man, they will jump at her.
And then you have cases like Jack Neo, whose wife readily forgives and even begs others to give him a chance. I just don't understand. Is it the financial dependence?
It's mind boggling, isn't it? I have heard stories first hand from ladies who actually encourage fellow ladies to "just close an eye" about these things because... in so many words, boys will be boys. Some women have accepted this as part of being a wife. And I think it's a load of crock. I think some people feel that if they marry into "money" or "prominence," there are some things that you should accept that goes with it...
In that case, I ought to stick to guys who aren't of money and prominence. But the sad part is, even that doesn't guarantee you a life free of heartache. It really really really depends on the person you end up with.
