At a Memorial Service one day, a man read a beautiful passage about his wife. He listed all the things she was. She was his lover was one of the things he said. Strange, but I always thought of a person's lover as someone not married. Where I got that weird idea from, I don't know but at any rate, I thought that was interesting to include in a service. Take care

I remember some sit-com when I was younger. It may have been All in the Family. Archie was going to have a guy from work over for dinner and he said he was going to bring his "mistress."
Archie got all flustered. He was having all kinds of issues, thinking she was going to be a knockout and stuff. When they got there she wasn't anything special, at least not to Archie's eyes.
It turned out that the gal was the guys wife, but he had decided at some point that there was a difference between how a wife was treated and how a mistress was treated. So he had stated calling her and treating her like his mistress. He gave her flowers, gifts and showered her with affection.
I normally hated that show, but I thought that was one of the more inciteful moments on television.
(And the only reason I was watching it was because we only had 1 tv and my dad was watching it.)

Sadly it is often the case that a person's lover is someone not married but true love between husband and wife still exists and I can say my husband was both lover and friend and I am so glad to have been married to him for some thirty years and sad that he had to go when he did but glad we had that time together and a son also.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad for what you had.

Yes, my hubby is my lover. I can't find anyone like him. And I am not looking for another one. I am contented with him as a lover and father to our kids.
