Seems like it, doesn’t it – perhaps people have different views on what marriage is supposed to be like..My partner and I were always in an open relationship, getting married didn’t change that; nothing will change that we belong together and committed to each other. I never understood keeping a partner of mine from being interested in others and I always wanted to be free to become connected to people, entangled in people – these categories of open, closed, friends, non-friends…they’re too limiting for me and my being strives when I am not bound…as to how long it will last…I think no one knows, just like w/monogamous marriages but I think we’re stronger for being in an open marriage, but that’s just us – nobody that knows our family, how we function and our children would ever doubt that we’re definitely making it work. Perhaps it sounds cheesy and cliche, but we’re so detached from each other as people, we put each other in boxes and tell each other how to relate to others – I hate these boundaries, I have no problem w/conceptualizing being physical with friends or romantically involved w/o sex with another – I have no problem w having sex once with someone w/o wondering what it all means…I live my life in a rich way and I will not listen to anyone other than my own self as to how I need to love, to relate.
