I was that woman at work whom everyone said had life all figured out. My husband, Harrison Cahn, kept a mistress for years and hardly ever came home. Colleagues, friends, and family all told me to divorce him and stop wasting my time on a man like that. But I would tell them, "Divorce? Why would I? He gives me a monthly allowance, which he transfers to my account on time without ever missing a payment. The house and car are all in my name, and I'm the one raising the kid. I have a respectable job and my own life. If he doesn't come home, I'm actually better off. It gives me peace and freedom." Not only did I show up to work on time and take excellent care of my kid, but even my in-laws were full of praise for me. Once, his mistress called to brag, and I simply replied, "You want the man, I want the money. We're both getting what we need." Before long, the mistress dumped him, saying that the man was too poor and could give her nothing but his body.
