[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would find it completely ridiculous that I would be expected to break up my nice life, my financial footing, my social fabric, my kid's stable lifestyle and my amiable relationship with my husband just because one or both of us make occasionally swap bodily fluids with someone else.  Sexual extracurriculars do not threaten spousal status as long as they are treated as diversions.  [/quote]

I feel the same, and frankly, I am surprised most people don't feel the same.[/quote]

So not quite an open marriage but an occasional tryst is agreeable?  Easier said than done.  Maybe works for 10% of couples.  [/quote]

I love when people just pull numbers out of their butt. You have no idea what goes on in other people's marriages. I'm with PP. I have a nice life and so do my kids. If my husband has a one night stand I'm going to be irritated and pissed but enough to cleave my life in two and lose 50% of my time with my kids and have to move to a less desirable neighborhood and have less money? Dream on! [/quote]
+1 to all of this[/quote]

+2. There is no freaking way I would divorce over a brief fling after 26 years of marriage and 2 kids. I have plenty of self-esteem and am capable of supporting myself (I make more than 50% of our HHI, in fact), but the reality is that from virtually every angle I am way better off with him than without him. He has been an emotionally supportive, generous, kind, and loving partner for more than half my life, he is a terrific father, and we have a great life together. Divorcing would fuck things up for our family in too many ways to count. Honestly, I think it would be incredibly selfish and unfair to our kids to divorce over something that, on balance, is incredibly small compared to all the good.[/quote]
