The starter of this thread, PB, already knows my thoughts on the subject, we have spoken before. That said, as far as I'm concerned cheating on someone that you profess to be in love with is wrong in any context. And if you actually still believe that you are in love while you are doing the cheating...you could probably use therapy.

I have been in a relationship...actually a marriage, where we tried the open marriage thing. Although it seemed fun at that moment, it was just a symptom of the underlying problem. We tried it all...her meeting other guys, me meeting other girls and us meeting other guys/girls/couples together.

In the end we wound up divorced. We were not satisfied with each other and I believe that the open marriage thing just prolonged the agony. Its a way of continuing the relationship instead of admitting failure.

I recently said in the chat room that every relationship we get into has only two possible endings. Either you stay together forever or you don't.

You just have to stand up, dust off your cock (or vagina as the case may be), lick your wounds and move on. I know it's easier said than done. But I think that's what it boils down to.
