"Love makes you selfish"

"Love makes you selfish." These are the words of Caitlan Roberts, an accountant, who walked out on her husband and children to live with another man, a friend's husband who she met at their childrens' swimming club. The new man, David, said if he had to leave his chidlren, she had to leave hers as well. So she did.
He marriage wasn't bad - "You get to the stage of thinking: if I don't have passionate feeligns any more it's because I'm 45. I'm older now and I have kids growing up and that's the way thing shappen. Then you meet someone and something clicks," she said. The Telegraph of London article reports: "Their feelings for each other were so powerful that she knew she would have to leave her husband."
Caitlan suffered from the separation from her children, but she did it "for love".
The experts say Caitlan is a modern woman, like so many others, lured by the possibilities of alternative lives. Women, say the experts, have higher expectations of personal fulfilment. They are acting like men, they say, in walking away from their families to find happiness elsewhere.
Was Caitlan wrong? No she wasn't. Love makes you do strange things.
Caitlan's husband was the culprit. Caitlan is a woman. Women want to be in love, all the time. They are love machines. When they are not in love, they feel out of whack.
Caitlan's husband, a GP, was not truly engaged with his wife, so he left her unprotected and open to an approach from another man. A woman can't be in love with two men at the same time. So, in these days of women's high expectations, she'd better be in love with you or else she's hanging in the breeze and available.
And if you think "She'll never leave me, she's got too much to lose," think about this: Love makes people do very strange things. Love is a form of madness.
My advice: have a love affair with your wife running every day.
