- lectrick 11y agoCan you elaborate? Adultery being a betrayal of the family is arguably a negative (insofar as the traditional legally-enforced-monogamy marriage arrangement isn't fatally flawed... lol. I predict the default will be "open" in a generation or 2, max, which may have the positive side effect of fewer secret liaisons and divorces)
