Hurt by affair with a Potomac parent in a supposed open relationship

[Anonymous]

I (single) connected with a successful exec/ Potomac school parent who broke my heart. He claimed he and his wife have an open marriage. Is this common behavior for this type of guy?

[Anonymous]

? why does it matter that he's in Potomac.

And you got suckered. Tale as old as time.

Next time, steer clear of married men.

Pro Tip: don’t get involved with people who are married.

What were you hoping the outcome would be?

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's common for people in open relationships to break hearts. They're not looking for love. You're a fool.

Yup. Almost every time a man claims he’s in an open marriage, he isn’t. It’s just a way to get women in bed without having to cover up a family.

But why would you even want someone in an open marriage? FFS have some standards.

Wait. You believed him?

Did we learn our lesson?

Oh my god, I can’t believe my husband has done this again!!! He swore the last one was the last time. We did therapy, I promised I wouldn’t leave and take the kids and my inheritance … but he promised it was a one time thing! I am just in shock that sending my kids to Potomac didn’t shield my family from this betrayal!

Those damn Potomac parents! They are heart breakers and love takers.

They probably lied. No reason to believe his marriage is actually open.

OP, open marriages are for other people in open marriages, then everyone knows the score and expects to just have some extramarital fun.

As a single mom, unless you wanted FWB what was your goal here?

Broke your heart in what sense?

If someone tells you they’re in an open marriage and you just want a sex buddy, confirm it with the wife first.

[Anonymous]

Sorry op. I’m sure it’s a painful lesson learned.

Aren't open marriages basically just for sex? What were you expecting to get out of this relationship?

[Anonymous]

OP, did you ever confirm the open marriage with his wife? If I was the type to get involved in that situation, I think I’d insist on speaking to the wife.

It means they are OK with their partners having sex with others, not building long-term relationships.
