Quote"Baby girl, even though you've been married for fifteen years, you still don't understand men. You've emasculated him with your affair; his ego is in tatters because of you. He doesn't know what he did wrong and feels less of a man because he couldn't satisfy his wife, and she sought it somewhere else. It may take years for him to recover, if at all. If I know Mike, he would rather sleep in a shoe box than reconcile with you and be considered a cuckold by society."

QuoteThe downside of my transformation was that I increasingly saw humans--especially those belonging to the homo sapiens corporativus human subspecies--for what they really were: unaware participants in this sick game called life. Gamers have a name for people like us: NPCs, non-playing characters. To make matters worse, I was convinced my work as a management consultant was useless. I existed to help the increasingly entrenched corporate bureaucracy justify its own existence.

QuoteIf the poets speak truly, why then we had better be unjust, and offer of the fruits of injustice; for if we are just, although we may escape the vengeance of heaven, we shall lose the gains of injustice; but, if we are unjust, we shall keep the gains, and by our sinning and praying, and praying and sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall not be punished. 'But there is a world below in which either we or our posterity will suffer for our unjust deeds.'

QuoteYet it's normal for one's sexual desire to wane after one or two years of dating, said Andrea Seiferth, a psychologist who works as a couple's therapist in Hamburg.

A cocktail of hormones plays a big role in this , said Seiferth. They increase our sex drive at the start of a relationship but as relationships progress, a hormone called oxytocin, which fosters social bonding, becomes more pronounced.

"These bonding hormones dampen our sex drive hormones, decreasing our desire for and frequency of sex," explained Seiferth. "This is something you need to be aware of as a couple."
