[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in an open marriage. I've been doing this for twenty years. I don't relate to this. I accept that at some point my kids may find out but I'm trying a lot harder to avoid it. To the extent that it doesn't occur to anyone that I might be doing this because I'm a mother, great. I'm not asking for wider cultural validation, I'm not proselytizing, I just want to be left alone.[/quote]

Hate to break it to you, but your kids will find out and probably already know unless they’re toddlers. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a question of when and how. I’m the kid, my sister and I always knew and it messed both of us up emotionally.[/quote]

When I was in grad school thirty years ago, a few of my classmates talked about their parents' open marriages. So it's always been around. 
And yeah, they were all pretty miserable about it. [/quote]

Yes, but publishing your open marriage in the New York Times is what's new. Maybe they can make it a regular feature and just combine it with the wedding announcements.[/quote]

They are already sort of doing it.  First DiBlasio and his wife, then this couple.  The only thing left out is the contact info, but probably easy to find them on social media.[/quote]
