You are right....these threads are full of gossip and assumptions. I know many mafia wives who are decent, well respected hard working woman who take excellent care of there homes and children. They are not strippers or gold diggers. I know as a fact many of them are not aware of the other woman in there husbands lives. There husbands are very good at their game and keep their wives confined unfortuntely, so that they do not find out or hear the gossip on the streets. I also know as a fact of certain wives that did find out eventually and kicked their husbands butts in the street with no going back. So don't classify all these woman in the same catagory. Many of them are beautiful woman that don't deserve to live like this and choose not to. They don't turn their heads and accept it they are strong woman who take action and then move on.
