What are your feelings and experiences about monogamy? There are about a million questions in this vein that I think would be more fruitful for therapy than a discussion about the relative merits of somebody else's open marriage. In my opinion.
Interesting, she didn't really ask anything about what my sister's choices meant to me. I don't think she understood that. Those were all great questions, thanks Favorite Jeans. I will ponder on them myself...
Thanks for this!
