{"quotes":[{"text":"She’s not happy in her marriage. Not unhappy exactly, but not happy. He doesn’t want kids, so that’s nothing to look forward to. Her life is chock-full of quiet tedium. Suddenly, she falls in love. And sure, there’s the excitement of being with her lover, but there’s also the excitement of not being with him. Of waiting and going on with her ordinary life. And all that dullness now becomes part of the drama. Because that’s her cover story. All the dreary anguish and monotony that fills ninety-eight percent of her life is electrified with meaning, since it now serves as the perfect camouflage to hide the two percent of passion. And, yes, she felt guilt and, yes, she felt shame. But those are powerful emotions too, and were all part of the glorious transformation of a featureless bland life into an adventure.","author":"Phoef Sutton","tags":["imfidelity","love-affair","lover","marriage"],"id":39192,"author_id":"Phoef+Sutton"},{"text":"It is better to lock up your heart with a merciless padlock, than to fall in love with someone who doesn't know what they mean to you.","author":"Michael Bassey Johnson","tags":["abstinence","affair","apart","breakdown","breakup","celibacy","celibate","chaste","cheating","courage","divorce","end","enstrangement","falling-in-love","falling-in-love-with-a-beast","final-decision","key","lock-up","love-affair","mercilless","michael-bassey-johnson","padlock","parting","sea","single"],"id":39485,"author_id":"Michael+Bassey+Johnson"},{"text":"The only difference between having an affair here and having an affair there was that the American men would always ended up losing half of his estates over a woman he was infatuated just as much as the next tramp who would come his way, while Japanese men would only earn more respect from their subordinates through the possession of much younger women, as a sign of prowess and affluence, while their wives at home, as if there were rule books distributed nationally on the “proper” marriage etiquette for all young Japanese women to read before they enter into the matrimony, would turn a blind eye on their disloyalty quietly.","author":"Vann Chow","tags":["affair","american-culture","asia","asian","asian-culture","boyfriend","cultural-difference","disloyal","disloyalty","girlfriend","immoral","japan","love","love-affair","marriage","matrimony","men-and-women","morality","morals","not-loyal","office-romance","relationship","sarcastic","social-moral","wedding","women-and-men"],"id":50206,"author_id":"Vann+Chow"},{"text":"....Finally I see that it’s never been me, just a blanket that keeps you warm.
