I agree that someone who is honest that he needs an open relationship has more honor and integrity than someone who cheats. I may or may not be compatible with him, though. [;)] My femsub playpartner is married. At the time she and I started playing with each other, I was in a M/s relationship. She, her husband, my Master, and I all met up over coffee and discussed boundaries before she and I played together. My Master joined us sometimes, but it was usually just the two of us. I have no ethical problems with her over her being married, and I agree that she isn't cheating, since she is doing this with her husband's knowledge and approval. Our interaction is more casual, although we are close friends. We enjoy going walking, shopping, and on dates together, she tells me what her kids are up to, we've been to each others' homes, and so forth. I'm just starting to look again, and honestly, I want a romantic relationship, not another casual, limited relationship. So, I would seek someone for monogamy or monogamous with room for play, or possibly a polyfi relationship. Someone who just wants to fuck anything he can get his hands on isn't a person who I would be compatible with. I want someone who seeks emotional ties and connection and intimacy. If he is involved with other people, I want to get to know them and develop emotional ties and caring with them too. If I dated someone who had incompatible views on monogamy/open relationships/poly/etc., I would be setting myself up to be hurt. Even if someone is poly, they can still cheat, or lie about other things, if they are dishonorable. So, I don't see how seeking out compatible people is setting one's self up to be hurt.
