+1  I dated a guy in an open marriage when I was single.  I talked to his wife right off the bat to make sure it wasn't BS, and we had a great time.  No strings for me, no hassle for him.

The thing is, inside of their relationship it was constant (and exhausting-sounding to me, if we're being honest) open communication and renegotiation and ensuring everyone was 10000% okay with everything that happened on each other's dates.  It's nothing like the "declare the marriage open!" guy wants to believe in his fever dreams about all the free love he's missing out on.  You have to have an extremely healthy relationship to make it work, which is why a lot of people who go "open" as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage end up divorcing anyway.  Not because non-monogamy is inherently wrong, but because it won't work inside of, and certainly can't fix, a marriage with communication problems.[/quote]

I got pissed last month because I am ENM and so was the guy I qas dating, but his wife and her boyfriend's opinions had less weight than mine. They were overly communicating about me and others, but not communicating to me. He lied to me about going on a date with another chick during covid and I said no thanks. When uou tell me you are doing a project and MIA for the night only to come home hours later and tell me it was a date and want to talk about it for hours, ugh. Wife and her BF got to approve it. I did not. Done with that.[/quote]
