I suppose we see how good someone's word is, eh?

If it were my wife's reputation on the line, I would be very careful who I trust it to. And if I did trust them - and they violated that trust - I can assure you, I would handle it firmly, fairly and with finality. And I am not the kind of guy to be nice about such things... Nor am I the kind of guy who thinks I should be.

What is your record? Two good ones - one bad one? Ten good ones - one bad one? What sort of odds are fair? We have never had a playmate tell our friends that they have played with us - ever. Mostly because we do not mix the two - ever.

The risk is not worth it for us - and my mouth is big enough without adding one more loud mouth to my problems

Can it work? Sure. Will it always work? No. Is it worth the trouble when it doesn't? That is for you to decide.
