It doesn't matter what number you are in the queue, as long as you're number one in his heart.

So says almost every second/third/fourth wife or mistress that I have had the fortune to meet.

Ah. The Other Woman.

In Malaysia there are two types of The Other Woman:

(a) The Mistress the girlfriend; the so-called soulmate that somehow marital bliss eludes; the one-night stand; the GRO he frequents and pretends she is the one, for two hours; the friend that sleeps with your husband.

(b) The Number Two. Or Three. Or Four. The Other Wife. Legal in the eyes of God and the law.
