“To quote Hillary, I have to suspend disbelief to accept your assertion....at least in American culture...perhaps French....but not AMerica.”
I personaly have known two different women who were in such arrangements, and I do not go poking into peoples personal lives. I do not believe that these conficences are generally told to strangers.
I asked a friend, and she came up with another example. I therefore suspect that it is more common than might be thought, especially if you hang around with “new age” types instead of Christians, as I tend to do.
conficences =confidences
I thought I had corrected that! ;-)
