Hester Prynne really deserves an apology. She got a raw deal. Here’s the story from The Washington Post: How to break free from monogamy without destroying marriage Before online dating, before her two kids, before the Big Conversation with her skeptical husband, Jessie already had an inkling that maybe she wasn’t quite like the ladies she saw at church, that maybe the sexual strictures of life in D.C.’s monied suburbs weren’t for her.
