BEING A MISTRESS DOESN'T REQUIRE ADULTRY
Not just talking about legal marriage or living together as the other person's primary relationship. Some Misters are men who don't ever want to marry or are postponing. Still, they don't mind "keeping" a special friend, a lover, or being a very generous boyfriend. And as you know sometimes they still marry someone else - a different "type," but keep their mistress.

MISTRESS VOCABULARY "LEFT HAND QUEEN"
From the French - are we surprised? A "Left-Hand Queen" is the woman who rules the King and the Kingdom on the left, while his legal wife the Queen rules from the Right.

IT'S (RARELY) ALL ABOUT SEX!
These days, any teenager who can get her hands on a Cosmopolitan Magazine can learn about sex - having and giving pleasure - countless interesting positions. There is so much emphasis on outside appearance and expertise in the bedroom - and so much pressure on young women. But while these things count, when it comes to having and holding any INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP, neither great beauty or great sex (or both great beauty and great sex) can hold a man who is not in love and feels no responsibility towards you.
As a mistress (or mantress - we'll use this term until we can find a better one!) you may remain unmarried (or become his only woman) to your mister because he feels responsibility to his wife and/or children. He may or may not love her or them, or love them in a different way than he loves you. This is why some men only make the break when the children are grown and doing well on their own, which can be a long wait. It's not true that only selfish or irresponsible men turn to other women or that he is "escaping" duty by being with you.
That's why it's a good idea to take a critical look at any relationship you are in. If you are sure that you can make the break when you need to, AND YOU REALLY ARE NOT WAITING for someone to make up their mind to be with you, you may make a great mistress. A great mistress doesn't wait around for a man to commit to her if what she really wants is a marriage. She makes the best of TODAY while keeping an eye to her future...

A BLOG ON MARRIAGE AND MISTRESSES....
"The wife is like water and the mistress like diamonds. Given a marginal choice between the two, the husband readily sacrifices a little time with the wife for a little more with the mistress. But when the choice is between the total value of the wife and the total value of the mistress, the wife wins." -Dwight R Lee
This man - writer is a professor at Southern Methodist University, and maybe what is remarkable here is that he writes about mistresses - he acknowledges that mistresses exist...
