Oh, I was brought up with the same rules, believe me, and I try to live by them too, and no bad thing IMHO.

(the internet doesn't count, right? grin)

It's just that I consider my husband the exception to all rules of that nature. Tough to get that Schnarchian intimacy without full disclosure, including stuff that really drives you spare even as it relates to other people.

You will have to decide if that's a useful precept to apply to your relationship with your wife.
