Week 2 and I’m now officially a housewife on a mission. Getting snubbed again by Trevor after he came home from the “boys’ weekend” only proves that it’s time for me to stop moping and start looking for fun myself. He’s not giving me anything so yeah, I’m gonna go look for it someplace else. And no, it’s the other kind of fun aside from hanging out with my girl friends. I need excitement and I’m gonna find it. But how, without going out there right away?
Luckily nobody’s been using the PC and since I can’t really leave the house except when grocery shopping or book reading at the neighbors’, there’s only one option a bit more fun than infomercials: web surfing. Plus it has more choices rather than just staring at the neighbor’s hot gardener all morning. I’m no expert but I do know the basics of Internet use. It’s nothing shocking to me either: scandalous content, ugly news, porn. I don’t understand how my boys get addicted to computer games but I do know curiosity and as boys will be boys, surfing for porn in our computer wasn’t something that would have surprised me. What interests me more, though, are those websites with online communities. I see my teenage daughter spend hours and hours chatting and going to Friendster, MySpace, Facebook and Multiply and she’s told me about them too. Then I was told there are more sites like them… more adult-friendly sites, that is.
Searching for such websites today gave me an idea just how many hundreds of them really exist. Online dating sites, adult married personals, forums for married people, sites for lonely wives" href="http://secure.desperate-wife.com//hit.php?s=5&p=1&w=100028&t=0&c=link">lonely wives, sites for husbands, for couples, for single people. Sites for “searching for love”, “looking for companionship”, “finding connection”, “something new and exciting”, “searching for fun”. Bingo. I might find what I’m looking for in these websites! For sure there are a lot more like me feeling bored in their marriage—and maybe a whole lot more of those willing to help forget the loneliness, even for a while.
I’ve never really gone looking for people in the Internet, much less look for those whom to spend fun times with. This is going to be this housewife’s next adventure.
