"C'est pourquoi, si je me marie en galant homme, c'est-à-dire laissant agir madame comme bon lui semble, et faisant de mon côté ce qui me plaît, et vive la liberté!"
So from everything you guys have told me about Fritz, and reading this totally without context, I actually think he might have meant that he was OK with EC having affairs, but I also am getting Anti-Machiavel vibes here in a big way :P It's the kind of thing where I can totally see him going around saying "Everyone should have freedom to have affairs and do their own sex thing, vive la liberté!" and then when presented with the actual thing from his actual wife... maybe might not feel the same way about it.
