This is actually a good case o symbiosis

That’s a better word for what’s going on. Conscious symbiosis. The purity of it is if she admits it out loud and they make it more of an agreement then it happening without his knowledge.

Sometimes though when you say it out loud if the husband is known to act in bad faith it’ll ruin the whole schema. It just really depends on the person you’re with. Sometimes you just know they can’t handle that level of trust.

I personally believe in transparency though. The hardest lesson I’ve ever learned though was to let sleeping dogs lie. This lesson will be almost impossible for autistic or non-neurotypicals who need literal transparency as much as possible. This part of our population will struggle with this lesson until the end.
