Jill Ciment reflects on her 45-year marriage to Arnold Mesches, which started when she was 17 and he was her 47-year-old art teacher, discussing how societal views on relationships have evolved over time.
Ciment, a seasoned writer, grapples with how to describe Mesches in different eras - from the '70s sexual liberation to the '90s controversies like Bill Clinton's scandals and today's post-#MeToo climate of heightened moral scrutiny.
