[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in an open marriage. I've been doing this for twenty years. I don't relate to this. I accept that at some point my kids may find out but I'm trying a lot harder to avoid it. To the extent that it doesn't occur to anyone that I might be doing this because I'm a mother, great. I'm not asking for wider cultural validation, I'm not proselytizing, I just want to be left alone.[/quote]

Hate to break it to you, but your kids will find out and probably already know unless they’re toddlers. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a question of when and how. I’m the kid, my sister and I always knew and it messed both of us up emotionally.[/quote]

When I was in grad school thirty years ago, a few of my classmates talked about their parents' open marriages. So it's always been around. 
And yeah, they were all pretty miserable about it. [/quote]

[b]Yes, but publishing your open marriage in the New York Times is what's new[/b]. Maybe they can make it a regular feature and just combine it with the wedding announcements.[/quote]

part of the gross attention-seeking culture that is now ours[/quote]
