That's a good question for anyone considering "expanding" their relationship options -- would you want your partner to bring home another man/husband or woman/wife?
Polyamory can be an appealing option for people who are considering an affair but true polyamory requires that all partners have the capacity to take on other partners and that all parties of their own free will have consented to the arrangement(s). If the partner is unwilling and that sort of situation is forced upon them against their consent... it places that relationship in jeopardy, to say the least. Start adding in other factors such as children, in-laws, mortgages, finances, work, who's getting more time with who? The situation becomes overripe for plenty of drama and plenty of heartache.
Meantime, this link may also be appropriate to the original poster's question: How do affairs begin?

SE I could never be in an open relationship, and I could never let my bf have a relationship with me, and another woman at the same time. I do have some jealous issues about me, and I have trust issues with men. I keep an open mind with other people. What might be good for one person might not be good for me. If my bf would even ask me about this I would probably end the relationship with him. I have standards and boundaries, and my bf knows this, so he already knows on certain things in our relationship I will not tolerate. Then again we share the same values when it comes to relationships. We have our disagreements from time to time, but we try not to disrespect one another. What would you do if it was you?
