I am almost fifty years old, and I've yet to meet even one woman who gave up anything for anyone.
I've heard of this concept 'in theory' for my entire life, but never met even a single specimen 'in the wild.'
You: I am almost fifty years old, and I've yet to meet even one woman who gave up anything for anyone.
Me: Apparently you don't get around much. Many women, including the latest high profile figure, Gov. Mark Sanford has no issue having an affair and then trying to use the Bible to justify it.

That affair was going on for EIGHT years and he was told by his wife in no uncertain terms to END IT. The latest escape from his wife included lying to his staff that he was on a trip on the Appalachian mountains after it was quietly agreed they would separate. What did ole Mark do on the week of Father's Day? Lied to his wife, sons and staff and made a bee-line to his babe in Argentina. He continues to lie about the length of the affair - even his wife admitted she knew about it and it wasn't the first time ... .
This is a typical headline. Here's a guy seeking some fun with a younger woman. It's very common. His wife should divorce him.
Yes, his wife was faithful and raised good sons. She put herself aside for what? to be tossed aside for this whore in Argentina. Of course he REFUSES to RESIGN. That makes sense since is not an honorable man. It happens allot.

He didn't care. Taxpayers paid for his trips ... the only reason he is sorry is that he got caught AGAIN by his wife and embarrassed.

You don't have to “meet a single specimen” - “in the wild” (whatever that means). All you have to do is pick up a paper and read about it. It's quite common.
IU can take you seriously when you state that women aren't dumped by MEN for “trophy wives” when they believe they have become successful.
