[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be better for him to divorce you as his prospective partners are going to be very wary and skeptical of his claims that his marriage is open. Better to be divorced if he hopes to get his genitals wet again some day.[/quote]

half the dmv is in an open/enm relationship...even us wary folks have gotten used to it...[/quote]

I've been surprised by people who I've found out are in open marriages.  Traditional-seeming people, go to Church every week, etc.  I don't think it's going to shock a lot of people.

I'm also curious about success stories.  It seems to me like the real problem would be that it would pull energy and attention away from your relationship/family. [b]And all the stuff going on outside the marriage would be fun and exciting (bc it's novel and easy), so the marriage would start to seem like drudgery, all chores and responsibility.[/b]  It seems like eventually the marriage would die.[/quote]

We found a good therapist and it really helped. The bolded is true. We put time and energy into novel time together, but obviously with kids it's hard. But that's true of monogamy too. We've had ups and downs, currently in an up that feels sustainable thanks to the therapist. We had ups and downs in monogamy too. [/quote]
