She's so open now... It won't last. Having lived in a neighborhood of "swingers" I can say that's a great way to absolutely ruin your marriage, destroy the lives of your children, and decimate the peace of the neighborhood you live in... When I think of the nonsense us traditional folks had to endure to pick up the slack for so much of the mischief, I'm So glad I moved from that state to Utah.

This is from years ago, why is it suddenly back on the home page again?

And for the record, whether his wife condones it or not, and despite what she says it is, it's still cheating.

I think cheating it is not, but adultery? Yes.

What a terrible example to set for the youth of this community who look to athletes as role models. There was a time in this Country when athletes actually acted like role models and promoted positive values such as chastity, fidelity, loyalty, and faithfulness. It is distressing that modern athletes now promote adultery, immorality, and outrageous behavior. It is no wonder our society is degenerating.

This gives new meaning to the maxim: From Russia with LOVE.
Further, I wonder if this is all part of being liberated Russians, having been shackled by the Commies for years. Come to think of it, I wonder if her permission for Andrei is also a justification for her to sleep around too...hmmm...

His wife is right -- it isn't cheating if she knows and approves. In fact, if you look at porn without telling your spouse you are cheating more than this guy would be if he were sleeping around with permission. Cheating is not a function of the act, it's a function of lack of honesty in a marriage. Maybe instead of feigning outrage for the relationship of two marginally newsworthy others, we should figure out what in our own life makes us feel angry about something so trivial.
