Suzanne Harrington: Monogamy, like Marmite, is not for everyone - right, Dominic West?
“I mean, I think women should be more indulgent of affairs. I really do. It’s daft to kick someone out over a fling. Isn’t it? Everyone should turn a blind eye to men’s behaviour between the ages of 40 and 50. Let it blow over.” This is actor Dominic West, 51 last week, in a 2016 interview with the London Evening Standard. Or in that particular edition, the Evening Double Standard.
Well Dominic, I don’t know. Should women “turn a blind eye”? Be more “indulgent”? Maybe make you a sandwich when you arrive back to the family home, before settling down to watch season whatever of The Affair together?
