Interesting story in Betas in Waiting. I read a good portion of the replies. Most of them seem to read on the wife's lie for the reason the husband is filing for divorce. However, I bet the deep down, what it's all about is that his ego was assaulted. In my early twenties, I met a girl a couple years older than me. She was a college grad while I never went. I fell big time for her. Somewhere during our three years together, I discovered that she had had sex with many guys in college. She professed that it was over 100, but she didn't know exactly how many. This was a major hit to my ego. She was my third. On a vacation in London, we walked by a sex storefront and on display was a gian dildo, like 12" long and with the thickness of a beer can. She said in passing that she "could take that". Bam! Another hit to my young ego. (I'm 50 now.) Anyways, whenever I think about her, that stuff still slightly affects me. The male ego is a funny thing. With regards, to the Beta in Waiting story, I'd bet anything that the main thing that sent him packing her was the massive shot to his ego, not the lie and withholding the lie. His ego was shattered thinking about her getting banged by multiple guys, at once. It's not the norm we think about for women. Is it bad? I suppose not, but it hits the male ego, especially if he hadn't had his share of threesomes to match hers. Your thoughts? How does the male ego play into TRP? Just curious.
