[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Post divorce, I've tried variations on ENM a few times.  I've been very honest.  Some of the women have not been.  In all cases, everyone seemed to care a lot about the multiple partners.  The affection was genuine.  The respect was genuine.  The attraction was genuine.

Unfortunately, it's a very unstable situation in my experience.  Jealous feelings emerge.  Someone ends up getting priority.  Someone else ends up getting neglected.  I was the neglectful one in one situation.  I was the neglected one in another.  I broke up with the one who neglected me, and she was genuinely devastated when I broke up with her, but she never considered breaking up with the other guys (one of whom was long distance and didn't know that there were other guys in the picture).[/quote]

None of this sounds all that ethical. It’s a mess!

In this article winter manages to make something fun and hot (sex) into an emotionally draining chore that requires secrecy, deceit, and emotional turmoil.
