[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that it [i]does[/i] change things. My situation isn't exactly like the OP's, but I did confide in a close friend that my marriage is open. I (mistakenly) thought that because my spouse and I are open and honest about this with each other, that my friend would understand and be someone I could trust. Not so. She resented that I "unburdened" myself on her. It's a complete mystery to her why we live this way. She's right; I did unburden myself. Perhaps that was selfish. I wanted to confide in someone because it's unconventional and she's an important part of my life. I expected that because she's such an understanding, giving and open-minded person, that she would be supportive about my disclosure. Just goes to show you that you truly don't know another person (that works both ways - her not expecting me to be in an open marriage and me not expecting her judgement). The price to unburden yourself can be too high. [/quote]
