But every other woman that lives in Los Angeles. LOL :) :)

I noticed recently..

OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network’s new series “Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal.” This hour-long confessional/consultation series is slated to air Mondays at 9pm beginning June 6th. Maybe there will be some references to midlife crisis with either one of the spouses???

I could go in for poly-fidelity myself, but it would have to be outside of marriage, because there is NO WAY I want more than one husband.

S&D,

 Maybe in an alternate universe or another culture there would be such a thing...  come to think about it, "what if" the majority of the civilized world evolved and adopted having multiple partners instead of monogamous relationship?  I guess we as the LBS will now be considered having a problem instead of the other way around since we only dedicate ourselves to one partner. (he he he he)

 Although there are some cultures that had been this way, we who are not used to seeing it looks at them as "uncivilized".

I watched the program.  Thank you for posting about it.....Or I would have missed it.
I didn't even know I had the Oprah channel.   :o

A few thoughts...interesting that in both situations the wife found out about the affair when the affair partner called her to tell her.  Both men had issues about how they felt about themselves.  Both had new babies (one of them twins) and felt they were being neglected. 

These situations were NOT MLCs - as, after the discovery of the affair - the husbands were remorseful and could only think about getting their wife and their lives back.  Neither man was emotionally tied to the affair partner to much extent.

Listening to the wives discuss their shock and hurt when the discovered the affair was difficult for me.  I remember that feeling very well and the wives did a very good job of explaining how they felt.

Both men were a$$es - in my opinion.  But, I am biased..... ;) ;)

Interesting program.   Glad that I watched it.

OP,
Can I tell you a secret?  For the very first time, I had a tiny, infintismal, miniscule pang of sympathy for "Terry".  It was fleeting though...LOL!  It came at the end of the last episode when Owen and he were talking.  And might I say, Owen telling him to "Grow up" was fabulous!  :)
