Arsene Wenger

[Sqad]

Reported in the tabloids today that Arsene Wenger the manager of Arsenal football club has had a mistress for 2 years.
What is it with some men, loyalty, devotion. love, are these meaningless words in our modern society?
I believe having a mistress is a rarity,only for the weak willed, but my question to you fellow ABers is, is it more common than we believe and is it spreading, likely to epidemic proportions?

hope this is a tongue in cheek ya old devil..lol
besides, live and let live, if it isn't effecting me then I don't care whos sh****** who!

Having a mistress is something to which only a few men can truly aspire.

Having a furtive 'bit on the side' is much more a likely scenario.

[Sqad]

bobbi.....how dare you?

JTH what is the difference between a "bit on the side" and a mistress.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha I dare sqad..lol

[jackthehat]

If you need that explaining, sqad, you are not really the 'man of the world' I thought you were.

[Authentic]

Chelsea are still top, so it's not affecting the team.

[Sqad]

JTH....You thought that I, sqad, was a "man of the world?".........you are not the judge of character that you have led us to believe.

So. accepting the above facts, what IS the difference?

[Sqad]

vibra....LOL....really?

[jackthehat]

I hesitate to dignify any 'interloper' in a marriage with slightly more class than another....

[Zeuhl]

<<what IS the difference? >>

about £25,000 a year
.

[micmak]

He's French. I thought all French men had a mistress.

[Sqad]

Zeuhl.....;-).....one can easily spend 25 grand a year on a "bit on the side".....that amount of money is no big deal.

Still awaiting a reply from JTH.

[Zeuhl]

Actually no - London rents

make that £80,000 a year
.

[jackthehat]

I've already given it............
vibes understood.

<<<I hesitate to dignify any 'interloper' in a marriage with slightly more class than another..<<<<

Oh! I do agree......but try.

[Sqad]

JTH....our posts crossed

"vibes understood"....LOL....LOL

[Zeuhl]

Sqad

it's the difference though.

If you can easily spend £25K on a bit-on-the-side than your mistress is bound to cost you £50 - 100K

What are the actual figures in your experience?
