i'm pretty sure she did that intentionally, to end the farce of a relationship

Maybe they believe they are like, top tier men, and an open relationship is just them convincing their wife to let them sleep around?

That or something like it has to be going through their head, but I can't imagine going up to your SO, telling them you want to gently caress other people and they have to be cool with it, especially if open relationships weren't your thing before and you stumbled across them when you were finally ready to leave or cheat.

Also if they were down for the open thing because they feared a sudden change you just gave them time and space to hunt down your replacement while maintaining normalcy so of course people go along with it until, unsurprisingly, they don't.

As with many things, millenials are determined to reinvent the wheel. For instance, this guy is probably now figuring out what "shame" is and why it exists

He was dry eyed when she miscarried and wouldn't turn the RV around to be with her because he didn't want to miss Burning Man. He kissed another woman at a party where his wife was also in attendance. He busted out a book on "open marriage" on a family vacation that his mother-in-law paid for. He laughed when she shakily injected herself with hormone drugs and whipped out his iphone to document their uncoupling ceremony picture on face book. He justifies his cheating with polyamory philosophy, but can't see a family unit without children especially "biological children." Poetic pretentiousness is a poor disguise for selfserving shallowness.

ArbC is like the least fun person on these forums, and that's pretty goddamn astonishing.

Realtalk humans probably are designed to gently caress around freely, but have a primary spousal partner.
