Call me traditional but I expect respect, trust, loyalty and faithfulness. Surely that is what marriage is all about. Without them why bother. When my ex was eventually caught out the pain I felt was worse than being beaten black and blue and tossed down a staircase. Personally I would never want to risk that kind of hurt again. Even contemplated "ending it all". Pleased I never carried it through as no man is worth that, plus the extra grief I would have caused my lovely family. Now I feel happy and secure with my second husband who also experienced a similar former life to my own.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
