    Re:be careful of assumptions

    I think I am safe to assume a monogamous relationship when people have made a public statement of monogamy called marriage. Marriage is a legal contract. As for the age difference, consider that some theorists consider a person in their early twenties to still be in adolescence, and I tend to agree with that viewpoint. consider also the power differential and what a heady experience it must have been for Ms. Lewinski. Clearly, she was deluded into thinking there was a real relationship there. ANd I don't think I was insulting anyone. Certainly there are people that do well in relationships with a significant age difference. The aforementioned relationship was secretive, self-serving (now,did he really love her like he led her to believe?!?!) and illigitimate in every way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt the need to lie about it. I call it like I see it.
