ORIGINAL: Red82 Oh Simple! Curiously, you didnt say "If you truly loved your wife, you woulden't have sneaked around her!" There is nothing wrong with a poly marriage, but there is when the parties involved are not consenting. No communication, and he willfully hid it. Im still not seeing any defense for it. If I said that, I would just be repeating the common, boilerplate mantra of the majority-think, plus its already been said. As for, "No communication, and he willfully hid it, " yes, exactly, that's otherwise known as the illusion of monogamy. Sometimes its wiser and more considerate to give your partner an illusion than it is to give them the truth. Its pretty difficult for us to judge this marital thinking from the outside. Also, did it ever occur to you that a person may sneak around precisely because they do love their wife? I just don't understand how people rationally can expect marriage to maintain each person's romantic and sexual needs over the course of a lifetime. As for me, I don't believe in sexual repression, one love after marriage till death do thy part, or that I would want to tie my wife to me, and only me, forever. How exactly is that expectation "loving?" I'd argue that such an expectation is possessive and selfish. In a marriage, though, shit breaks. If the people do love one another, they work through problems, support one another, and negotiate their own boundaries. Who knows what will happen to the OP. I just hope he finds sexual liberation and stays married in a good relationship. Here's hoping he has the skills to pull it off!! Here's hoping that his wife can also think outside of the box.
