I have seen some posts and comments to the effect that there are no rules in place for some couples. IDK, man. Maybe it's semantics and I am just being pedantic, but NO rules or restrictions? None? You guys would be fine with 39 years of consecutive overnights and them raising a family together, retiring together to Arizona and being buried in the same plot? "Sounds hot, and I am glad she is enjoying herself"

"She doesn't share anything with me but that is fine because we have no rules or restrictions. In fact, she doesn't touch me at all because THEY have rules and restrictions. Our bull (I have to call him 'Mr. Bull') doesn't like sharing her. It is kind of cute, really! They just don't have the same level of trust she and I do..."

I think you get what I am saying. You may understand and trust each other enough to get by with IMPLICIT rules and restrictions, but they are definitely there.
