I've been unbelievably happily married for nearly 25yrs now
Every relationship I've ever had I've been unfaithful - this relationship is the result of an affair
It was hubby's idea to go down this journey and 18mths in we're stronger than ever. Our communication is very good and I'm enjoying having a BF for the last year
All in all, no complaints

I have a one-sided open relationship. It took 5 years of dialogue, communications, procrastination, pondering and the setting of boundaries until it was 'ratified'...and then I joined Fab.
There is love but there is no "in love". There is affinity but no sensuality or romance, but there is a continuing and unwavering friendship, and platonic bonding.
Aside from that everything is good and happy. |

Wasn't married but when I was in a open relationship I was in it because I was proud of my partner. He was perfect in every way. Sex looks character class effort. If I met a woman and they talked about their shit partnerships I felt even more proud of mine and it made me want to share him so they could see feel and enjoy that pleasure MOMENTARILY that I had permanently.
That's why I can only deal with fully complete and capable partners. I've never had nor will I ever be committed or monogamous with someone missing aspects. I feel pitty for those that tolerate that. I get off knowing I didn't have to. So I got off seeing the pleasure he gave them in that temporary moment |

I think the number 1 most important thing is trust, secondly it's having the ability to be able to disconnect between love and lust, jools and I love each other play partners are just that trusting your partner to be able to leave feelings at the bedroom door is a must.
Communication is very important, talking to each other and being open and honest.
It's also important that as a married couple we still have a healthy and active sex life together.
We've been together 40 years next year and open or monogamous I couldn't imagine loving anyone else more than I love Jools.
This may not make sense to some but it works for us at this place in our relationship, the next phase will probably be stopping this lifestyle and concentrating on each other.
But who knows |
