Never cheated on my marriage. Not because didn't want to. But because couldn't afford it. Been sending my children to very expensive exclusive private schools in Syd. Yes, sch for the filthyrich. Not to mention their hockey lessons, music lessons, etc. Had my fill of womanizing before marriage.
Besides, more fun to watch eldest, a daughter, act as an animal(!) in school play 'Noah's Ark'. "Not funny, daddy". Said when saw me laughing. Hehehe.
Also more fun to watch 2nd, a son, played soccer against other priv sch team. Could still remember the jubilant look on his face when he made his very 1st score. Was in Gr 3. Later, joined the rugby team. In a certain yr, undefeated champion. The ff yr, a massacre. Didn't even win a single match. Hahahahaha.
Also more fun to watch youngest, the baby in the family, a son, appeared at the Syd Opera House 2X (in kindy & Gr 1) together w/Suzuki Violin ensemble. Sch teacher's final report comment was, "He's naughty, distractive, but very dear". Teacher was a lovely young lady. No wonder. Like father, like son. Hehehe.
Then, 1 day, everything collapsed.
"'I fell out of love with you'. What a banal denouement! (Yevtushenko)"
Well, ready to take the chance again. Ready to prove my life's worthwhile with one who'd give new meaning to this empty world of mine.
