I see this trope commonly spouted but it is bad advice IMO for the reasons I mentioned above.
The potential fallout is ten times as bad.
Especially if the husband is a raging AFC - AFC does NOT mean spineless.
There are plenty of AFC husbands who are in prison for shooting their wives and their lovers.
Don't be a headline on the six o clock news.
You certainly have a point. I just looked it up in the cheat manual (it's been some time since I've read it). Whenever it comes to affairs, I refer to this because it's the fvcking bible on having an affair. It agrees with your point:
The second most important factor to remember when selecting a mistress is that you choose a mistress because you believe she is a reasonably good security threat (she ain't gonna tell). More than that, is she willing to help you keep the encounter(s) a secret? This is why I stated earlier, you should never have an affair with someone who has less to lose than you do. If she has as much to lose she will assist you in keeping things under wraps. This does not mean it's a good idea to have an affair with a married woman. All that does is increase the danger to you by having to coordinate two schedules, and doubles the amount of people you have to keep it secret from. You also have to rely on her ability to be able to successfully keep things from her husband. Double the risk does not necessarily mean double the pleasure…and if it does, it also means double the pain. More than a small amount of the people I interviewed were caught by the other woman's husband, who called the wife to inform her of what had been going on. One important component you would like to see in your ideal mistress is a respect and consideration for your wife. If the affair goes on for any length of time this will be important, because she won't want to turn you in out of respect for the hurt and pain it would cause your wife.
But I digress... If you piss off your mistress, what's to stop her from telling your wife that you've been screwing around? If she has a man in her life, that's collateral as well as an added risk.
I think the entire situation needs to be analyzed before choosing a chick for a mistress. If her man knows absolutely nothing about your life, where you live, where you work, or your last name, the risk is still pretty small. You also need to trust your mistress to avoid leaking this information. She needs to
respect you.
When I had my mistress, her bf highly suspected something was going on between us. She had made an error in covering up her tracks, so I had to end the affair, and I ended it for both of our safety. I knew I had to keep my finger on the NEXT button in case things went wrong.
You have to go into an affair thinking with your head instead of your d1ck. There's a lot of things at stake when you decide to fvck around. Your wife could take you to the cleaners, she could beat the 5hit out of your mistress, your mistress's bf/husband could beat the 5hit out of you, and he could also beat the 5hit out of your mistress. The risks are very high when you have an affair.
The risks are also high with a woman who doesn't have a BF. If she falls madly in love with you, she may have no problem helping fvck up your marriage in order to take your wife's place. A woman who has her hamster running at top speed will do some crazy ass 5hit. That's why keeping things on a level playing field is IMO the best option.
