Marriage #120

  
/ 126  
  

120. I observed the opposite with adulterers; how they felt sick at marriage and everything to do with it, so they could look on their wife, but could not put any life into talking with her; they so loathed everything to do with her, though when formerly man and wife they had loved and taken delight in these things. But as soon as they see someone else's pretty wife, or another sees the wife of the first, they are inflamed with desire, a fiery life lights up their faces and eyes and they find delight in all the details which the husband loathes; and he acts in the same way when he sees other women.
