Two-Thirds of Married Women 'Can Imagine Affairs'
"I confessed to my friend, but she said to keep meeting him until I grew sick of him. Don't break up your family, she said. She said there's barely a married woman who doesn't have a bit on the side these days."

Park Mi-jin (not her real name) is 43 and seeing a younger man despite being married for 15 years. "In the past, when I told my friends I had a lover, they used to say I was crazy, but now they say I'm clever."

Chun Kyoung-hee of DeRyook International Law Firm says, "Fewer people now think of marriage as an eternal promise, so infidelity and divorce are rising rapidly." As women grow more active in society and their economic power increases, their thinking about marriage and affection has grown freer, she said.

Choe Yeong-lee (assumed name), 37, who is having an affair with a colleague, said, "My husband thinks of me as someone who's there to do housework, but my lover is always considerate of me." What makes her stay with her husband? "My husband has had many flings with bar girls. We just pretend not to know," she says.

Korean families are much stronger than Western families.

"She said there's barely a married woman who doesn't have a bit on the side these days." Oh, the lies people tell themselves to justify their bad behaviour.

Korea number 1!

For divorce rates.

You youngsters jusy don't have the backbone of us Ajummas. Fifty years of marriage and still going strong. It doesn't matter that nearly all my husband's wages go on soju and love motels, because so do mine...hence, they cancel each other out. Problem solved.

Hwajangsil Ajumma, you're a sexy woman and I have a confession to make... often when I'm relieving myself and you saunter up to me, mop in hand, casual washing the urine stains from the floor I wish you would, instead of nonchalantly checking out my member, raise your head so our eyes could meet even for but a brief moment. I strongly believe if our eyes were to lock upon one another we would both be over come with lust and what would follow would truely be wonderful.
I long for the day when your rubber gloved hands embrace me and the faint smell of kimchi, soju and floor detergent fill my nostrils.

Forever yours,
Public Bathroom Using Waegookin.

Dispatched Such charming words!

I'd love nothing...well, almost nothing, more than to spend an afternoon picnicing with you on the grassy heath, laughing gaily to each other's songs of romance and buggery over a bottle of fine Brut (the champagne, not the aftershave, although I enjoy the taste of both) and cucumber sandwiches.

However! You have competition! Not so long ago, the handsome Guangho made fiendishly suave advances toward my tubby but oh-so-willing body. Before him, it was an equally debonair gentleman whose appearance could most accurately be likened to Dolemite on the job. You'll have to work harder than that to woo me, dear boy.

Damn it. Stop it. I was having a bad week in Korea but this is putting me in a good mood. Ahhh....Spring and romance is in the air....
