First of, I do not want to be disrespectful to anyone here. I have read Meera's comments on other threads too. Without being biased, what I have noticed is she speaks her mind but she does persuade me to think from her point of view quite convinced. Nails! I did read your comment with some difficulty for its length. You say it's okay for numerous brothers to share one wife. When such social practices were/is acceptable, in an agragrian society the rules were/are already accepted before marriage by all stakeholders that she will be sleeping with every one of them no matter how proportionately, but in a proportion that will not deprive of loving bliss to some particular brothers and in a frequency that will not start a row among them. To put it in short as another commenter put it previously which I agree with. A cheating husband in general should have no problem being cheated by his wife in turn. In sleeping outside the marriage is the way to go, it will be better for both of them if they arrange a swinging arrangement to satisfy their most carnal fantasies with other aspiring couples which is not too bad as they mutually agreed to do that within a marriage agreement. But a spouse cheating on another behind the back could also be a great source of lethal communicable diseases. If any spouse has a constant desire of going with multiple partners behind one's partner's back then a divorce settlement is the gateway to such liberty. It's tax-season and we should ponder over how much one of the most free nations in the world values the institution of marriage for its success. Study shows infidelity is the number one cause of divorce. It is quite an anamoly that most guys on this thread are supporting the sanctity of marriage while some girls are portraying some animal instincts. What is the world coming to? PS:- Mr. Galt, 'awesome writing!' would be an under-rating.
