friends with the lover you recognize them immediately. At the beginning seems to have drunk a cup to the fountain of youth. They are energetic, galvanized, effervescent, tanned, you can buy fashionable shirts, shoes that cost half salary, if they can a sports car. They are alluring, they look at you as if they understood the meaning of life, we leave to go to lectures on sex.
stupid, recover the subterfuges of the high school to the school bigiare or hide the report card. Childish excuses to leave the house, closing the bathroom to call, to simulate weekend work are transparent in their lies as a child stealing jam.
Phase takes up the space of a few weeks. Like a candle burning on both sides, or a doped athlete, the years fall on the shoulders like a cartoon. First there is the girlfriend who asks for more. Yes, because his friend, took the need to achieve the goal of first intercourse, had forgotten to explain that after what he sought was not much more than an extra sex. Then there's the wife who finds out (because her lover is discovered), with the inevitable accompanying explanations, lawyers, child support, children, a furnished studio for rent. And finally comes the discovery cardinal: all this effort did not lead to the result of having a mistress, but two wives instead of one!
The color of his passes from a waxy tan, return to the surface wrinkles, the work is falling apart, the "new" wife is jealous and more stifling the other, money is not enough.
friends with the lover you recognize them now: when they meet on the street boys that came out of those formerly joyful to play football for then maybe go see a dancer, now shake their heads and look away with the serious' sad eyes ...
PS: a wife is better at managing a lover. Meanwhile, do not choose a twenty or a dancer Russian, but a married man with no interest in creating earthquakes. Secondly, what did he have to lose? Just a boring husband. Or so he believes.
