Dear Christine,
I DON’T HAVE a problem but would like to share my view on the subject of cheating husbands.
My way of looking at it is this: if a wife does everything to make life happy for her family and the husband still starts an affair, she should get a man too.
If he can have his fling outside and come home all smiles (as they usually do), she should do the same thing.
If at any time he accuses her, she should ask him about himself and make him understand what he thinks is okay for him, she thinks is okay for her. She should tell him if he stops, she’ll stop.
If women do what their partners do, they are called all sorts of ugly names. If my husband were to go out with another woman, I wouldn’t say a word. I would watch and see how far he intends to go. You can take it from me, Christine, I would do the same thing.
If men can be unfaithful, women can too. I am not saying that women should be unfaithful to good men, but when men play the fool, women should let them know they are not tools. It should be the same for both. Do you agree with me? – Y.H.

Dear Y.H.,
No I don’t! In fact, I don’t know if to frown at your suggestion or be amused by it. I’ve come along hearing that two wrongs don’t make a right and the man or woman who values his or her body will not buy into your suggestion.
Being unfaithful because one’s husband is unfaithful is not as easy as you make it sound. Usually the wife cares deeply for her husband and would hardly be able to give herself to another man.
With women, love is usually more than physical. It’s very emotional.
In light of your letter, I am inviting readers to share their views by emailing dearchristine@ nationnews.com or via our online publication. – CHRISTINE
