That happens a lot. The third women (e.g a friend's wife) will have all the qualities he wanted in his wife! You cooks so well, my wife never cooks like you. She never takes care of kids as you do. She is not all understanding like you and the list goes on. Whereas In real the wife must be living only for him and the kids. Bottom-line is most men crave for sympathy from other women for obvious reasons.
