[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do. My husband and I knew each other long before seriously dating and marrying (I was 35 when we got married, he was 42) and I knew who he was. He’s a great partner, we’re great friends, we’ve built a wonderful life together, and the agreement is: no long term affairs, no kids outside of our marriage, and wrap it up. I know he has dalliances when he travels and I really don’t care. I don’t feel a need to stray but know it would be okay for me to do so. It works for us. [/quote]

How do you have any self-respect?  You are married to someone who shits on your marriage vows on a regular basis (unless you included his right to have affairs when you got married).  What does your marriage even mean?  Why bother even being married?  [/quote]

I’m not sure why my marriage arrangement bothers you so much, because I’m happy. My husband is my husband - we have the house, the cars, the holidays, the vacations, the financial accounts. This is not at risk. We are committed to each other as primary partners. Our kids see a mature, loving partnership based on openness and trust, rather than duplicity and deception, as is the case in cheating relationships. I adore him and he adores me. His occasional dalliance does not negate that.

Are you really wondering about the financial and societal benefits of marriage? That the efforts and energies of two people together is greater than maintaining two separate households? [/quote]
