Late last night, I received a message on Tinder (you married guys don't know what you're missing out on without Tinder and Bumble). It was an attractive girl who wrote "it says I am only two miles from you."
It ended up being a married girl who was in a hotel a couple of miles away. She is married, came to this city for a date, but she didn't like the guy. So, she found me and wanted to meet. She is in an open relationship. They both are educated, have normal jobs, are an attractive couple, and have two young boys.
I asked questions about it - they never bring a third wheel in with them. It's always just him with another woman or her with a guy. They talk about their "dates" with each other. She said she sometimes does get jealous, especially if she sees pictures and the girl is really attractive, but she finds it worth it for both of them.
I am not necessarily knocking them for it. If it works for them, then great. I just have trouble digesting it knowing I wouldn't be able to do it. At the same time, I think they (and most of the others who are in these kinds of relationships) are able to separate what is important from things that aren't as important. They love each other, want to be with each other, but they realize that sexual attraction and desires exist for most people outside of relationships. They also know that, at least biologically, guys aren't made for long term single partners.
I think it is still very taboo in society, but the couples that do it seem to have a very happy lifestyle sexually and otherwise.
