[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my traditional marriage vows seriously. When “until death do us part” happened I was devastated. Some people are happy in long term relationships. [/quote]

I'm sorry, PP. But it's good that you had a strong relationship and apparently a positive one.

Another lifer here and frankly proud of it. Even better with an empty nest now, honestly.

Unpopular opinion: People who have sex outside marriage should not have gotten married, or should not stay married. If they want sex with various partners, truly, thats fine, but don't pretend that "open marriage"and "consensual non-monogamy" are anything other than buzzwords people use to keep either social standing or financial standing intact.  I'm betting that all the supposedly non-monogamous people who prosyletize about its wonders on DCUM are not talking it up anywhere but here. They know society still equates marriage with commitment and fidelity. They can lament that all they like but it's still the ingrained reality, and their feints at making open marriage etc. A Thing aren't making a dent in that reality. [/quote]

After years of reading comments like this here, I took the plunge and got divorced. You're right, the world didn't end and I do have my freedom. I wish I'd listened to you all before I did. Sexual fidelity was good only when there were children at home.[/quote]
