Seventy-two per cent of married adulterers say affairs are good for their mental health and self-esteem. As a serial mistress, I quite agree The handsome man in my life is the most romantic I’ve ever met. A French-born, 57-year-old retired investment banker (let’s call him Remy) who comes to my home and cooks me chef-quality meals and brings me croissants in bed.
He sends me plane tickets for mini-breaks, puts me up in presidential suites, and takes me for Mayfair dinners where the bill tops four digits. We speak every day, text goodnight, and tell each other “I love you”. He’s practically perfect.
The only snag is – he’s someone else’s husband. However, after four years of making each other absurdly happy, we both agree his marital status is not a problem. In his culture , Remy shrugs, affairs are normale.
Me being content with our arrangement – and never dreaming to ask him to leave his wife – makes me the ideal mistress. I’m certainly an experienced “other woman” by now – Remy is the sixth married man whose company I’ve loved..
