Socrates had an affinity for his city-state, as did almost all Greeks. He did not enjoy the company of his second wife but he felt that he was serving his state further by doing this.
So now we covered how to explain an affair and how to justify complaining about your wife in one post; patriotism and more patriotism!
It wasn't an affair, he was married to both women and in Athens, you could have multiple wives. You could always go back in time and take it up with them, I'm just stating the facts.It seems I completely misunderstood the point of your original comment. I apologize.
Yes, and I was just making an obviously lighthearted joke... so there really wasn't a need for an overly serious reply!
