I hope the sideshow is amusing and not a nuisance.

This sideshow is an amusement. We are long past being bothered by people who simply don't get it.

Post Script: A married woman doing it on her own, with or without permission, is also an interloper. We have received no proposals or Swing Lifestyle messages from any creature of this description. But I thought I would say it out of a sense of fairness and equality.

Most of the time it is best for ourselves if we see humor in a situation...especially of this variety.

Hopefully, the esteemed members of this bulletin board will see the humor of the situation or understand, at least, my meaning when I use the phrase "going-it-alone". Upon previous occasions of taking a swipe at this category, I've heard back from people who enjoy open marriage. Neither JoAnn nor I find fault with open-marriage and have a few acquaintances whose current or former relationships are or were. We are, however, going to deflect any invitation that comes from someone who might be out gallivanting while the spouse has no earthy idea with whom.
