Okay, I am trying to get you, Latexbaby64, so, please tell me if I have this right: You are concerned with people who break their marriage vows and the lack of responsibility it shows. You seem also concerned about people who claim to be in poly or open relationships when there might be miscommunication or misinterpretation. I could be wrong, but I think you wre originally interested in how other people felt about those things in particular. I would never play wiht a married person unless I had met their spouse and knew everything was fine. In fact, I would not play with anyone who had not met my husband either, since he approves anyone I play with. It is part of how he takes care of me. Usually that play was impact and bondage only, without any sex. Play has only included sex of any kind with one Master, after over a year of play without any sexual activity. When we moved to a sexual relationship, it was with full knowledge and consent of my husband, and with his wife (my sisterslave) in the room the first time, just to make sure she was really okay with it. In fact, our spouses were the ones who declared that they had such trust and faith in us, they would be fine with us starting a sexual relationship. There is no cheating here, nor any lies. We are all best friends, hang out socially and have even talked of merging our households. I can't imagine jeopardizing any of our relationships by dealing dishonestly. In our marriage vows we did not include the line about forsaking all others, though we were not poly at the time and never envisioned our lives as they are now. We did include things about growing together rather than apart and both of us have mentioned that growing into poly was something that we did together. If my husband had never decided to let me play with others, I would still be monogamous to the man I love and married. Since he has full knowedge and input, we have simply defined faithful differently than many. I hope that gives insight into one way that this can work. I fully respect that you may never seek a similar situation, but I hope you can understand how mine works for all of us.
