Well...isn't it interesting how almost all discussions here evolve into history lessons lately...

Actually, the only reason I wandered into this thread, & stuck around long enough to catch the sound & fury, was to say that my only experience with an "open" marriage was a couple I knew many years ago that didn't work out in the long term...but I think it failed because it wasn't truly open, it was just his excuse to try to screw any woman he desired, including a clumsy attempt at my own wife...& it wasn't my objection that stopped him, his "little woman" dragged him away to chew his ass out as he was, I think, about to ask me if I was "cool" with it. Just for the record, I would have told him it was up to her (my wife)...I trust her to do what she knows is right...hey, maybe I'm the one with a truly open marriage? Nahhhh, she'd cut my balls off if she caught me

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.
