When I first went out with my eventual wife in the mid sixties I did so because she had a bit of a reputation, and being very attractive the combination proved a bit hit with me. What I hadn't bargained for was that after two or three months I was in love with her dispite the fact I knew she continued to see other men.
When I eventually confronted her with this she said she had been permissive since she was 18 and could not at that time simply change to a monogamous lifestyle. Surprisingly, I accepted this, partly because it suited my own loose morals but also because I didn't want to lose her.
She continued having occasional boyfriends almost until the time we married four years later, after which we both settled down into that monogamous theme.
In the early eighties I had to work away for two and a half years only getting back at week-ends every three or four weeks. We both agreed that being without physical company for this period of time was too much and accepted that should we need to we had mutual permission to satisfy ourselves with an occasional lover.
Recently whilst clearing out the loft I came across her hidden diaries for that period, just one of the weeks is duplicated below. Not as erotic as some of you would hope but nevertheless completely true:
