Adultery or Not, Thanks for Getting Out of My Hotel Room

we can now hopefully get on the with the messy business of our own private lives, which is none of your business.

An affair is no one’s business, really. I might have it, I might not have it. I might regret it, it might wreck my marriage. My partner might have it and I may never forgive him for it. We both might try it and find we don’t love each other any more. We both might try it and find that we actually love each other the most. Either way, whichever way we do it, we have a lot to deal with. The should Is, shouldn’t Is, wish I’d gone for it, wish I hadn’t gone for it, are more than most married people can handle anyway. The verdict has not made any of this easier. What it has done though is not make it criminal.

Now I can check into that hotel room and have a sleazy fling without worrying about the law coming around with handcuffs sooner than I can ask housekeeping to change the sheets.
