    Yeah, sorta. Depends. Mistresses had the fun as long as they didn’t want more, but also being a single woman with strange men coming out of your house at random times didn’t do wonders for local reputation.

    Sure, you were free and could go places a wife wouldn’t be able to. And yet being tied down to someone during the bad times could also be a comfort mistresses lacked.

    Each lifestyle had its pros and cons when it came to getting something out of life, but let’s face it, when it came to domestic abuse, neither received the support they needed.
