There she is …svelte, sexy and slim, the seductress. I remember the days when he used to look at me the way he looks at her now. Always within his reach, never went anywhere without me. Yes, I was the ‘other woman’. I remember the wife looking at me with such hatred every time he came home with me cooing in his ears. It was a blatant affair. I was the sexy one compared to his tired old wife – grungy, frumpy, tired and angry. I was new and shiny and he was always at my beck and call. He gave me his undivided attention the moment I demanded it. He left family dinners to be with me. He took me on his family vacations. I was the last thing he looked at before he slept and the first thing he reached for when he woke up.
But now, all that is history. I have been relegated to the background, replaced by her – newer, shinier, sexier, slimmer, vibrant. He is totally addicted to her. What is worse, the tired old wife also seems to be in love with her! There they both are, in bed, with her! While I gather dust, alone in my misery.
You smile now, you vixen! But your day will come – in six months, a newer other woman will emerge to replace you, the i-slut, the iPad! Don’t worry – I’ll save you a place in the dusty shelf that is the graveyard of outdated technology.
