[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread (and my own marriage) does make me wonder why open relationships aren't more common (maybe they are and I live in a bubble)? I love my husband, we have sex 1-2 times per week, but knowing exactly what's going to happen really takes the spice out of it. We try to mix it up from time to time but admittedly it's good, not amazing, most of the time. I don't remember if it was this thread or another but someone mentioned wanting a marriage sabbatical and that would truly be my dream. I love my husband, he is a wonderful partner, but I just want to mix it up with something hot and new without messing up our otherwise great life together (and I want that for him too). Do most open marriages fail/turn into a mess? Why aren't they more common?[/quote]

You'd be surprised how many married women hook up on business travel. That's the place where you can get some spice with someone you know and trust enough without screwing up your marriage. The hotel room is already paid for. This society is in total denial about how many people cheat. Add in the rest who would cheat if given the right opportunity and it's "most" [/quote][/quote]  I don't think it's most but maybe as high as 50% while I believe at least 20% are cheating or looking to cheat any any time.[/quote]

I'm the PP in this thread that starts with "I love my husband". I believe that plenty of people of both sexes are cheating and that it's more common than many would like to believe, but I don't think I'm alone in feeling like 1) I would never cheat on my husband AND 2) I would love the occasional spicy & new no-strings-attached fling without betraying my partner and our relationship that is built on a foundation of trust and loyalty. Sneaking around on work trips ain't it (for me).

Unfortunately I think the PPs who say it is messy are correct, so I'll stick to closing my eyes and imagining it's a fling :lol: At least we're both getting it regularly, and it's decent.[/quote]
