Extramarital Affairs: Do we really want what we think we want?
In a psychoanalytic treatment, one learns to clarify one’s desires: do I really want what I think I want?
Take the proverbial case of a husband engaged in a passionate extra-marital affair, dreaming all the time about the moment his wife will disappear (die, divorce him, or whatever), so that he will then be able to fully live with his mistress – when this finally happens, all his world breaks down, he discovers that he also doesn’t want his mistress.
As the old proverb says: there is one thing worst [sic] than not getting what one wants - to really get it.

Wow, that's just so unfortunate. The truth is that we actually don't need what we think we need.if only we can settle down and ask ourselves the right question.
