So I've got this business trip to China coming up. It's very exciting - I haven't had a passport since I was 7. I'm going to basically oversee the tooling trials for a product that I've designed.
Some of the guys were joking today that when you're there they take you to the baths for a massage, and there's two choices: "massage" or "massage with happy ending".
I jokingly asked the question "So, when you're overseas it doesn't count as cheating right?" and I honestly couldn't tell if they agreed with me. One woman said she was at a sales meeting in Bali and of the 13 men at the meeting 11 of them cheated on their partner. They even took her for drinks one night AT the brothel.
(Before I go further, let me just be clear - I do NOT intend to have sex or even 'happy ending's. I'm not like that. I AM just joshing around here. I'll be wearing my wedding ring.)
Ok, so I'm going through a 'dry patch' right now. (Ie, my depressed wife doesn't want me going near her this year, but otherwise we're ok.)
I started a little joke with her - "Should I get a massage with a happy ending?" and she basically refused to answer. I mean how hard is that? The answer is NO! right? Well. That's what I thought. I grilled her, and it turns out that she doesn't want me to, but she doesn't feel like she's got a right to say something like that because she's not 'holding up her end of the bargain'. Her words.
Anyway, I thought it was an interesting topic: what counts as cheating?
(I did not have sexual relations with that woman).
What happens on the road stays on the road right?
