The latest phenomenon, to hit London’s social scene is a Gubby aka the gay husband. A Gubby, as I understand is not to be confused with two married men or a closet husband. They are an imminent breed fast replacing the ‘I’m the captain of the universe and thus too busy to notice my wife’ kind of husbands. In short a Gubby is your replacement husband, with whom a fictional affair is not only gratifying, but exceedingly safe- without the guilt of sexual anxiety. He’s safer than the safest sex, you get to keep your marriage and your clothes on!
Amidst London’s ‘inhaling hair dye fumes’ society a Gubby maybe Gay, but he’s one to match your every step. His chronicles with the high'n'mighty make him every bit the ‘charming’ you can’t have rather than the average blonde arm candy.
This new genus fascinated me so much that after further research I learnt, Gubbies can actually be your girlies in disguise.
Or can they?
They’re capable of displaying random streak of jealousy when they feel their time is being short changed. They are beneficiaries of lavish hosts and are usually fought over as prized claims by the commonly emerging ‘I have so much money but it doesn’t buy me love’ Set -A house wives. Only, because of their inherent ability to comment on a new dress, notice your hair colour or take interest in the tulips you buy as dinner decoration.
All this makes me wonder what the fuss is about? The attention that you’re receiving is from the opposite sex alright, but not someone whose about to change your definition of ‘relight my fire'.
Can he really replace your girlfriends? Do they take you out, flatter you with attention to finer details, as you stroll provide a strong arm for you to lean on, buy you flowers, send you little cheer up notes? Do your girlfriends provide the satisfaction of being fussed over by a good looking package? I guess momentarily it would be good to fantasize that your Gubby is secretly not a man eater and one of these days you’ll find yourself in a nerve wrecking situation where ‘politely declining’ may not be an option.
But wait doesn’t he then fall into the same category as ‘the man you knew of, before you were married’
