Remember When Wednesdays

As the last installment of “Cheating Husbands” has been wrapped up, there’s much to reflect on. Written in 1920, just one year after women were permitted to vote in this country! It’s truly no wonder why so much blame was heaped onto women.

Especially when one considers the fact that the Mormon Church still allowed the practice of polygamy—until 1935! It’s not rocket science why equal rights for women took decades, and is still an issue that sparks controversy in America, and in nearly every other country.

The idea that women are inferior to men remains rooted in traditions, like  in weddings. That famous last line the clergymen says: “I now pronounce you man and wife.”

It’s a minor detail that goes unnoticed by most, but once you actually pay attention to the words, it’s impossible, as a woman, to be pleased that such discrepancies in equality are still passed around so freely. Some parsons do say “husband and wife,” and to them we tip our hat and say thank you.

What little ways have you noticed inequality in everyday life? Is it still a man’s world? Tell us your thoughts!!

Two lucky commenters will receive the February and March issues of True Romance magazine.

A SOLUTION?

You can do much to help a husband who has Don Juan Syndrome by building up his ego, so that he has greater confidence. Find things you can sincerely admire in his business or trade skill, in his virtues as a husband, in his personality, in his zest as a lover. Tell him about them frequently. If you can diminish his inferiority feelings, he will feel less need to fight against them by seeking reassurance in a series of sexual affairs. However, if your husband does not respond to your remedies, don’t blame yourself. If your husband recognizes  his own failings, and is anxious to get rid of them, psychiatric treatment will help.

What about the husband who is guilty of a serious, prolonged affair with another woman—first-degree infidelity? Here you have a major problem on your hands, because this husband’s deepest emotions are involved. “In my opinion,” declares Judge I. Montefiore of N.Y.C. Domestic Relations Court, “the other woman is almost invariably the symptom of an already ailing marriage.”

The fault may be, and probably is, on *both sides* (Remember this if you are ever the offender.). But the remedy is *usually* up to the wife,  because she has the most to *gain* as a rule, from preserving her marriage. (Thank you, God, for Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and the 60′s.)

“When a wife finds that there is another  woman in her husband’s life, Dr. Popenoe advises, “her first action should be, not to treat the symptom, but to find the cause—to find out what this other woman means to her husband; and then remove the cause. It’s the easiest way, often the only way.”

The misunderstood husband who pours out his woes to another woman, and accepts her sympathy as love, is a classic figure. Any man who goes to the trouble of taking a mistress, rather than *simply* being promiscuous, obviously  is emotionally dissatisfied with his marriage. His wife may know why.  If she does, she can best eliminate the other women by eliminating from her marriage the things that drove her husband to become unfaithful.
