00 Only 00, an architect, said that he would never cheat on his wife. It is easy for him when he does not have a wife. Men who live alone 01font01u00will more readily say some things/are easy on words02u02font00 than those who have been carrying the rope against their neck for a while. Like 01font00emotional feathers,02font00 00they do not have the time to think about pressures that marriage brings. 0-
