[quote=Anonymous]I would love to see the long term divorce statistics on these relationships.

A few things that struck me as kind of glossed over:
1) it seems like the majority of the couples in the article also have children. I just don't see how parents can justify the emotional energy, time, and financial expense spent on maintaining these side relationships and not on their children/spouse. 
2) the main couple the author focuses on in my opinion is not truly an open relationship. First, even though the husband brought up having an open marriage the wife said no. Then she had an affair and they "opened" the relationship. Then her husband is interested in one far away relationship that they don't have the finances to sustain which ends. Meanwhile, the wife continues to see her local "boyfriend" whose wife also doesn't know about her! 
3) I was shocked that Luce and her husband had a disagreement as to whether one spouse should have an automatic veto of the other's spouse's partner if they have an STD. Gross.
