And you base this on what, Captain Logic?

And no, I am not an aristocrat in the sense of having been born in Downton Abbey or the equivalent; but I like to think I am part of Jefferson’s natural aristocracy, the key ingredient of which Leonard Read described as “a love of excellence for its own sake.”

Hedonism must be a word you just were ordered to Stand Down and ignore then, zombie.

In my experience, most people, even fairly sophisticated, open-minded people, cannot handle open marriage; but a few do. To each his own.

The only thing modern I can see is that people don’t see a need to hide it now nor do they even understand what kind of power structure it creates, this hedonism.

Poor sap. I wonder how long he makes her wait after returning before she can kiss him.

“The point is that it should be women who choose, not men – even the men they’re married to. For my wife, the choice between honoring our vows and fulfilling her desires was a false choice, another trap.”

I thought that you *already chose* the moment you got married, and that it was perfectly reasonable for your spouse to be able to count with you not changing your mind on a whim. Especially once children have entered the picture. What else is the purpose of those vows?

I cannot make up my mind whether it would be better for them to use whatever modicum of honesty they have left to divorce and go their separate ways, or they should stay in this… situation, not to disrupt their children’s tranquility. Although with these two I imagine that children have already picked up all sorts of cues that their parents are not quite normal: mother regressing to moral toddlerhood, father incapable of insisting on boundaries and actually agreeing that she should do that, both of them rationalizing this away as some sort of “progressive” wonder. Sounds like a great environment.
