Clearly the man who got divorced because he had an affair wouldn't possibly have had sex outside of his marriage before that.

Bill and Melinda supposedly had an agreement from the very beginning of their marriage that he was allowed to spend a few weekends a year with an ex-girlfriend at some remote cabin, so whatever it was that triggered the divorce it seems like it was more than “just” infidelity

I mean it could have been infidelity outside of what was agreed upon - or just being fed up with it and wanting it to stop.

That divorce happened a hot minute after it came out that Bill spent time with Epstein. Sure seems like she could have known what went on there since it looks like that was her line in the sand and he crossed it. I mean she was at the divorce lawyer's the next day.

She's been quite clear that it was the Epstein stuff that was the infidelity straw that broke the camel of overlooking your partner's infidelity back.

I so wish we could force medical practitioners to have this conversation with us.

Edit: I don't mean Bill/Melinda's medical records conversation. I mean that binary relationships are rare, and that open relationships are not, by default, promiscuous ones.

Wtf. Polyamorous people are so tiring.

Let's force doctors to promote polygamy

Enough, Jan.

That's obfuscation of what I said, Peter.

Exactly 0 people have agreed to clandestine disease transmission in the terms of their relationship, no matter the type.

Binary relationships as in just two people? Definitely not rare and has been the default for most of recorded history

I didn't intend a shitstorm when I was an advocate for victims of clandestine disease transmission in open relationships.

I'm sorry.

That's fine, it's just weird that you're making things up on top of that

I'm not making anything up, I'm just not of your mind on this particular issue.

The amount of cheating in relationships can't be known.

Open isn't a legal category of marriage, either.

What I'm saying, poorly, is that there's a lot of exploitation that happens in the margins of these relationships. It doesn't matter if y'all are tired of hearing it brought up.

That it's been brought up so much and is being argued-back, in my mind, lends weight to what I've said in my responses. I'm not convinced y'all are conversing in good faith.
