Is Your Husband A Gentleman, Or A Bastard?

When the Gentleman Becomes a Heel

You’ll never get to know what type of fish you have caught till you have baited and reeled him in. Marriage is a big eye-opener, and whatever blemishes in character you have overlooked, you will discover these in due time. The first opportunity was finding a Zippo lighter with a tacky engraving of endless love in your man’s shirt pocket.

It was definitely not from you because you gave him one of those military Zippo lighters, one that had a big red letter M and an iconic marine picture on chrome. That was a fairly new Zippo edition, so the piece you’re looking at is definitely not yours. The lighter displayed a playboy bunny, definitely not something you would give your husband.

Now you you’re sure your husband is seeing somebody else, thanks to that personalized Zippo you found. The thought can be overwhelming. No wonder the tears on your pillow haven’t dried up because you can’t confront the bastard. Anyway, whether he denies or admits the truth, the harm has been done.

It sure does clear the air if he tells you “I am sorry.” But if he is a repeat offender, a million apologies won’t bring back that old comfortable foothold in your marriage.

The Chap, or the Cad

Married men, though not all, will taste the forbidden fruit of extramarital relationships. How they react to getting caught or discovered reveals the gentleman or heel that he is.

The man will admit to his infidelity, will be truly sorry about deceiving you, and will do his best to make up for it. The bastard, however, will [/spin]harangue|bluster[/spin] his way out of the situation, terrorize you, and call you a jealous hag, which frankly, you are at the moment.

Your gentlemen of a hubby will campaign to woo you back and submissively drop his shoe into the shoe basket each time he arrives from work. He’ll do anything to make you feel the justified victor. The bastard? He’ll persist to do as he pleases, and tell you to buff his Doc Martens because he needs to leave ASAP, just when he just breezed in!

The gentleman won’t actually abuse|maltreat you, but will be firmly/spin] tell you if you’re going overboard with the seize every opportunity to exploit you anytime he feels cranky, lousy, hungry, or if thekids are rowdy.

Definitely, the gentleman won’t go for a divorce; the bastard will ask for it.
