a friend of mine asked me what size (he was thinking 2.5 + ct)diamond to buy for his mistress,his wife is gonna kill him for sure and then take him to the cleaners!!!
 
As a rule of thumb a mistress's diamond should be about 1/20th the size of the wife's diamond, as she only has to do about 1/20th the work.
 
I have an answer: Tell him, "Instead of buying a diamond for his wh*re, perhaps he should spend the money on some quality psychotherapy to straighten himself out since he clearly has some serious problems."
 
Probably the best book about the diamond industry is called: "From mine to mistress"

And remember this from Marilyn Monroe:

"He's your guy, when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend,
Because then, those louses go back to their spouses,
And diamonds are a girl's best friend."

Seriously, it does not matter how big, as long as he buys it from me.

Or no, more seriously, tell him not to worry about size, but about cut.

Ohoh, I am truly in a joking mood. Maybe because we had such bad election results today in Belgium, and especially in Antwerp.

Anyway, live long,
 
Unlucky elections... you bet! Same here

Funny Q here: of course the mistress should get the nicer piece, as long as it doesn't look like a darn e-ring

This really cracked me up. I had to call hubby to tell him this. After a big belly ache laugh, he proclaimed this to be "the scariest senario" of all. A mistress *and* she has a larger diamond.

What a topic!

A friend of mine was seeing a unhappily married man. I will make NO judgement calls, but I know what she has been through. So, considering his wife has the Mercedes, the house, the checkbook, and the HUGE diamond ring with matching diamonds all over her from years of anniversaries, I say the mistress get a BIGGER stone.

If money by the bed is a bit too harsh, then a diamond by the bedside stand is just as offensive. Might as well be REALLY offended if you'll be offended at all!

Lucky I hold the financial reigns in my relationship....

So much for morals, huh? I say the mistress gets no ring and gets a baseball bat to the knees after I'm done with him (hmm, must be the Queens, NY in me coming out!)...but for him- not in the knees, I'll aim elsewhere. I can understand people changing and people wanting out...but for the love of god, be a man about it and don't sneak around. And be a woman about it and don't get involved with him until after he's single again. Gimme a break.
 
Look at it from a guy's perspective... you have a mistress, you NEED to keep the wife happy to get her off your back.

Case in point: Kobe.

Wife gets the bigger rock. Werd.
 
Very Werd indeed...lol...

Yeah- but the wife only gets the bigger ring AFTER he's busted...it's cheaper to give her a big ring than
HALF of EVERYTHING!!!!

On a serious note, your friend could be looking through some rose colored one sided glasses. He may not be unhappy & may have no intentions of divorcing his wife. Seen the senario before. Men in this situation are liars to begin with.
 
MMM,

"It's cheaper to give her a big ring than HALF of EVERYTHING!," could be my new tag line!
 
LOL...F&I, I totally understand your post. Most cases I hear of ARE that way...

With my friend however, he had already started the divorce proceedings after their 2nd month of " just being friends", so he WAS pretty unhappy. Happenes when one marries families not people, and they did it for years. She never cheated on him, but truly made him miserable.

Again, no judegments, but I recently went to their first child's briss this weekend. They are married now, and I NEVER NEVER condone what she did, I simply say that I knew what she went through, and almost have a sad sort of pity for her. Every story has it's complications.

Also, my comment on the mistress getting a larger stone was a bit tongue in cheek. But consequently, my friend's engagement ring WAS far larger than his first wife. 3.62cts of a E colored honker. And to think she only wanted about a carat and a half... poor gal!
 
years ago, when mrs. aubrey and i were still dating, her nutty roommate was seeing another of those "unhappily married men." he bought her all sorts of stuff (mink coat, new breasts) but would not buy her any diamonds. why? he thought diamonds "were only for wives."




of course, when he finally divorced his wife, he dumped her too.
 
Wow, and no diamond to pawn (I mean SHOW) for it...

When she was "dating" her new husband, she didn't get ANYTHING...or at least barely anything. They went out to dinners and shows, but no real extravagant gifts...

Maybe that's the secret. The LESS they give you, the more they like you...? LOL...

Kobe wouldn't be in this mess if he had just given the diamond to "right" person in the first place.

Obviously kidding. I have to agree with mmm "be a man and don't sneak around, be a woman and don't get involved".

See? This is why the mistress gets the big ring - lots of rings are cheaper than a divorce, and well, isn't this the whole point?
 
This thread is hilarious (which is rather warped when you think about it)! MMM, your quips are too good!!!

Total agreement here MMM...my contention is if something looks that good to him...go for it!I wont fight it. But have the bare bones decency to leave me first and not drag me in the swill with them.
If it did happen...no problem.He would have to sleep sometime and my chefs knife would help make a woman out of him....lol!
My curious mind wonders ....if you put these "men(?)" in just good work clothes and out of their Armanis' would the little 'darlings' still want them?

Amen. I really have no tolerance for adultery. It is shamelss. Get out of your marriage--don't humiliate the other person. Let's just say this: It would be a helluva lot better for EVERYONE if the person just leaves instead of disgracing everybody else and squandering 25 yrs of marriage traipsing around with some whore who has no problem sleeping with a married man.

Capt aubrey
Which cost more ? mink coat or the fake breasts maybe she goes for sims too,their alot cheaper
 
LOL...this post is too funny...you guys are all hysterical!!!! I especially love that "he'd have to sleep SOMETIME"..., no? LOL

This post is making me nervous though...I always joke and tell my husband to get a girlfriend and leave me alone...Hmmm, better stop joking....BUT, on the other hand, I really DID want that 3 carat jubilee!

so our of morbid curiosity (I'm not married so it's not a personal question) would a significant gift ($10k+) be taxable? If he did buy an expensive ring for his mistress, would she have to pay tax on it? If not, it'd be a heck of a way to hide assets before an expensive divorce ;-)

Or if she doesn't, but should, the wife can get more revenge by reporting her to the IRS!
 
Many many years ago I worked in a fur salon. I’ll never forget the man who came in with his girlfriend and bought her a fantastic full length white mink coat. He then returned several hours later with his wife, who got a little short fox jacket. We had to remain quiet about his previous purchase, which was hanging in full view of the wife! The wife exclaimed the whole time about what a “wonderful” husband he was!!! It was the saddest thing!!! I don’t know what happened with that couple – but I like to think that somehow, somewhere…..it all caught up with him in the end!

I agree with Jennifer. NO TOLERANCE for adultery here either!
