Disagree.

Maybe you are polyamorous. Meaning you don’t need or want one relationship to satisfy you as the expectation in monogamy.

We could classify serial cheaters as well. I, a single divorced woman, briefly dated a younger, married man who was a dad. I wasn’t his first girlfriend on the side.

It wasn’t for me in the end. But having been divorced and coparenting I see how maintaining both a romantic relationship and a functional parenting team and managing the economics of a marriage over decades isn’t always worth the effort. [/quote]

There is a massive difference between poly and cheating. They are not synonymous. Whether or not OP is poly, this is enabling cheating. Ethically polyamorous people don't cheat, nor do they partner with cheaters. [/quote]

I’m aware of the official definitions.

But there’s a danger in coming out “poly” when your partner of 15 years isn’t. Mate. There’s some ethical way of handling it, but it’s not something that you can unknow something.

And it’s possible his wife is in happy denial. We can’t know the situation and it’s best to just refrain from judging.

I suppose if you are worried, make it crystal clear to your spouses that you absolutely need and want to know. Otherwise enjoy your lives and let OP enjoy hers. [/quote]
