A man can love two women at the same time. The wife may give him certain things in the marriage such as stability; a loving mother; etc., while the mistress holds onto her man with a sexual relationship and she may well love the married man and he may love her, but statistics prove that most men who have a serious affair do not often marry their mistress. It is a simple fact the married man wants it all and thus, if the two women involved enable his behavior both women will be the losers and he wins!
