Pick up a tramp and treat her like a Lady...
I have been reading some blogs from fellow bloggers that have gone through or are experiencing the aftermath of infidelity.
One of the regular blogs I visit is that of SolarisGal .Today I came across the most amazing comment from one of her regular readers that has also experienced a marriage that ended in divorce, Anne Arky .
I am not sure where she originally got this from but it makes so much sense! I have never really looked at it from this perspective. Maybe the description 'tramp' is a little harsh. What do you think?

Dear Abby: Why will a married man pick up a tramp and treat her like a lady, then turn around and treat his wife (who is a lady) like a tramp? — Minnie
Dear Minnie: A man picks up a tramp because he wants a female companion who is no better than he is. In her company, he doesn't feel inferior. He rewards her by treating her like a lady.
He treats his wife (who is a lady) like a tramp because he feels that by degrading her, he will bring her down to his level. This makes him feel guilty, so to get even with his wife for making him feel guilty, he keeps right on punishing her."
Years later, a reader asked, "What is the difference between a lady and a tramp?" Mother was stumped, so she asked the readers for their input. Their answers were enlightening — and reviewing them is like looking into a time capsule.

Hey Shattered,
Yes, it's true. Anne really made me feel a world of a lot better with her comments. I'm not sure where she got them from either. If you'd like, you can go over to Meg's blog, and ask Anne, who's a regular over there.
There are a lot of tramps out there, but I wouldn't necessarily call all mistresses tramps. I think many of them are just really lonely women with low self esteem, who do not know what true love is or how to find it.
(And the name of one of those who were quoted is a really funny coincidence!)
Hey s* ,
I agree with you whole heartedly. As I said in my post I think tramp may be a little harsh.
Had a giggle myself at the name!
