A few days ago they were airing "I Think I Love My Wife" on tv, so I watched it twice in a row. I had to. The message behind it is undeniable. The movie is pretty much about a married man who questions whether he loves his wife or not after having a fling with an old friend from high school. Richard Cooper (played by Chris Rock) has a fling with Nikki Tru (played by Kerry Washington) after his marriage loses it's "magic". In Nikki he finds his youth again. [My favorite part is when they throw money out of his office window and watch people try to grab it.......hilarious haha] The fling for the most part remains platonic with some flirting here and there. Then I started thinking to myself "Hey, that sounds like me". I'm a Nikki Tru and I'm not ashamed of it. I am never the wife and I've come to realize that that's not necessarily a negative thing. I'm too free-spirited to be "the wife". Men turn to me when things in their relationships get dry and I provide them with something "new". It's never a sexual exchange. More like moral support? No mistress/other woman over here. Well in the end Richard Copper goes back to his wife and Nikki Tru gets married to a realtor. Hey, you can't be the new thing forever.
ARE YOU A NIKKI TRU TOO?
And another question, does sex REALLY stop after marriage? Because that's wack!
