How many marriages go 50-60 years without straying ? That's human nature. But outright open marriages are bull****. The stray cat usually comes back home. Make it work or walk. Life is to short.

moodyblue83, in a more ideal world, I'd agree with the sentiment. For some people, the timing and other issues might not make it so easy. Things like the current high cost of living, expensive and unavailable housing in many areas of the country, other financial considerations, children who are better off in the current situation versus the next likely alternative, health considerations of one or both people --- anyhow, there can be a lot of moving parts that can leave some people feeling stuck for the time being and trying to make the best of that. But ultimately, you're probably right about the bigger picture.
