Chatterbug, that's good excpet for the

Open Marriage

Part. In my opinion you NEVER call an affair an relationship, dating, or an open marriage or a friendship or ANYTHING other than an AFFAIR...

ALWAYS call a spade a spade

I dunno, I'm as "call-a-spade-a-spade" guy as any around here, but to me, "an open marriage" is a pretty damned big spade. In fact, I would argue (very SADLY, I might add) that the media, and society, have legitimized infidelity and "affairs" so much in the past 20 years, that "open marriage" may actually carry more of a stigma than "affair" does anymore.

"Open marriage" has a cuckold implication that most rational people find completely unacceptable.

Other than that quibble, I agree with everything in your post.
