By the end of 2020, it was clear I couldn’t do this book by having the usual field adventures. How soon could I get to Wuhan? Never? Maybe? That took me a year of shuffling my feet.

Given that a major deceit has already taken place, many, perhaps most, marriages will not survive such a revelation. ![]() Opening a previously monogamous relationship is customarily negotiated before the openness occurs. ![]() ![]() Much pain could be avoided if couples discussed monogamy as an option during the dating phase of their relationship, rather than assuming it as a default. ![]() |
