When I was much younger, I had a friend, and yes, he _was_ really a friend. But we had an agreement: if neither of us was in an exclusive relationship, we’d have sex. It was fun, neither of us ever wanted more. Worked out well.

A couple of years later, I had another FB. Two years after we became FB’s, we had a baby. A year and a half after that, we got married. We’ll celebrate our 21st anniversary next month. 😉
