When Wives Streak Out

As long as my husband keeps in secret
The affairs he pursues outside our ties,
I don't bother about it as by that act
He values our family, which I won't break.
I will not probe; it'll embolden him
To come open to my humiliation.
Now men have taken such like attitudes
And tolerate their wives when they streak out.
