Now, This Couple…

…must have had an interesting past fourteen years together.

A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment’s employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.

“I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming,” the husband told the newspaper Wednesday.

The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported.

So the husband, who visits brothels, is appalled that his wife works at one, and his wife is appalled that her husband visits them? I mean, is this an uncontested divorce, or a plaintiff and defendant affair?

I admit to being just a bit confused, as one would seem to be the Yin to the other’s Yang. The first thing that came to my mind was the foundation of a slightly more liberal remake of “Escape” (The Pina Colada Song).

This may sound a bit redundant, but if it weren’t for people, there would be no comedy.

    Sadly some non-Muslims also have double standards on how women should act.

  2. Old Soldier Says:

    When I saw the headline, I figured it must be about Bill & Hill and had to do a double-take when I read “Polish” - I knew Bill & Hill were from Arkansas.

    ‘Escape’ came to my mind, too, Seth.

  3. Seth Says:

    Shoprat –

    In this case, I think both are no good. Adultery is not only an unforgiveable crime against ones spouse, it is a sin against G-d. It’s bad enough when one is doing it, but when both are, whether for sexual fulfillment or money, I consider both to be equally guilty.

    It’s ironic that given their mutual activities, either could point a finger at the other. They may as well stay together and make the most of it, adulterer and adultress, rather than go on to marry other people and inflict their respective infidelity on those relationships as well.

    Old Soldier –

    If staying married weren’t a political expedient, Hillary, after being humiliated in front of the entire world, would probably (I’m guessing here, as those two are such tarnished, jaded, sleazy people that one never knows) have divorced Bill with extreme prejudice — imagine a new edition of Roxanne and Peter Pulitzer style divorce proceedings, with the gender roles reversed.

    Escape jumped right into my mind the instant I read the first line of the article. :-)

    Wasn’t there some incident similar to this, where it wasn’t the husband but a father?

  5. Yehudi Says:

    At first I found this humorous, and then after thinking about it, found it incredibly sad. Why did she feel the need to sell her body to make extra money? Couldn’t she work at a grocery? What made him think he had the right to share himself with any other woman than his wife? The real low point to this is the fact that apparently they were in need of money, so the wife goes to take a second job to help make ends meet…and he’s out there spending it on sex with other women. It is really quite sad when you look at the whole picture.

  6. Gayle Says:

    They were “in need of real money” as Yehudi says, probably precisely because he was out there spending their money on hookers!

    If these people were conscionable people, they would realize that they are both wrong, and would try to figure out what went wrong, thereby vowing to straighten themselves up and fly right! However, obviously they’re liberals, and this is how liberals act. These two chose to blame one another for their actions. I imagine the old double-standard also applies here. It’s okay for hubby (in his mind) to screw around, but not for his wife. At least she got paid for it!

    I couldn’t help that last barb, but it’s obvious that both of these people are out to lunch in the personal responsibility department.

    Wordsmith –

    Not that I know of personally, but… if the father, especially one who is still married to the girl’s mother, was there as a customer rather than just searching for a missing daughter and ran into her there — surprise, surprise — I don’t see as he would have much moral ammunition with which to berate nor even mildly criticize her.

    Unless, of course, he wants to bring the family on Jerry Springer and discuss it there. :-)

  8. Seth Says:

    Yehudi –

    Welcome!

    From the perspective of the couple having shared 14 years of marriage, it is sad that either, let alone both, has/have been unfaithful. Their situation would indicate that many a lie has passed between them, as well, a consistent biproduct of infidelity.

    I wouldn’t go so far as to refer to what the wife was doing as goes to take a second job to help make ends meet, just as I can conceive of no excuse for a married man to seek sexual fulfillment with any woman except his wife.

    Grocery stores pay very little money for a lot of work and adherence to a strict schedule. “Employment” at houses of prostitution pays astronomically more for those who have no personal moral objections to selling their bodies. Therefore, it seems to me that the woman made her own choice, placing a price on her morals, as well has her fidelity to her husband, rather than taking lower pay and working at a “straight” job.

    Whatever their financial and marital issues, they are an adulterer and an adultress. One of the jobs of a married couple is to work together to try and resolve issues, be they emotional, sexual or money related, rather than succumb to them. That, or if they simply don’t love or respect each other enough to make the attempt they do and they cannot reach any sort of honest consensus, get a divorce.

    Well put.

    Had they been living here in the U.S., they would undoubtedly be voting for Hillary.

    I wonder now if he will stop in from time to time a pay for her services!!!!!LOL I agree with Gayle about the liberal blame game. The fact that they BOTH were in the same establishment ona as an emplyee the other as a patron meant some serious trouble existed on both parts before the chance meeting.

    Either that or she was to tired from , “performing, ” at work to be a wife at home!

  10. Always On Watch Says:

    Off topic….

    Seth,
    You are a Blogger of the World!

  11. Seth Says:

    Ken –

    I wonder now if he will stop in from time to time a pay for her services!!!!!

    ROTFLMAO!!!!

    I once worked someplace with one female co-worker who actually charged her estranged husband hundreds of dollars a throw to spend the night with her, and she wasn’t even in that particular “profession”.

    Then again, there’s the old joke about the guy who approaches a woman he’s never met and says, “I’ll give you $100,000.00 if you’ll go to bed with me for a couple of hours.”

    “A hundred grand!?” she responds, her eyes lighting up. “Yeah, sure!”

    “How about twenty bucks?” He asks.

    “Well!” she huffs, “What kind of woman do you take me for!?”

    “That’s already been established,” he tells her, “right now, we’re just haggling on price.”

  12. Seth Says:

    AOW –

    Wow, I really don’t know what to say, especially after reading your comment about me in your linked post.

    I am majorly humbled.

    Your listing me among so many of those great bloggers is, to me, a serious honor.

  13. Angel Says:

    oiy!..shaking my head* heh

  14. Seth Says:

    Angel –

    Interesting world, this. :-)

  15. Gayle Says:

    Thanks, Seth.

    It’s a childish mindset. So many people look to blame others for their actions instead of looking inside of themselves.

  16. Seth Says:

    Gayle –

    It is a mindset that is probably responsible for more failures, both at home and in business, than any other factor.
