The mystery of the other girlfriend

Raymond Chen

Many of my married friends have “other girlfriends”, or at least that’s how their wives tease them.

• Friend 1’s “other girlfriend” is a male colleague with whom he often goes to dinner when working late.
• Friend 2’s “other girlfriend” is his boat.
• Friend 3’s “other girlfriend” is a “regularly changing set of small electronic devices.”

I don’t know for certain, but if you ask my wife, she’ll probably say that my “other girlfriend” is this Web site.
