Miss Manners Guide for the Turn of the MilleniumJudith MartinFireside"Miss Manners?", I hear you ask. Yes, Miss Manners. I've listed this book because of a small section in this book which deals with the current trend for all relationships to be assumed exclusive, a trend that suggests that there is something immoral or immodest about "dating". Miss Manners appears to differ: "...the common pattern is to have a series of exclusive arrangements.... The standard is, in other words, a rather dreary form of serial monogamy, followed by the pain of a simulated divorce.... Miss Manners believes that such a form is both unsuitably restrictive and unnecessarily hurtful."
More wise words from the Mistress of Manners. Good stuff.
