Open Marriage

Oops, silly me! I do apologize for believing most of my adult life that marriage is... a sacred union of two souls. That it's between... two people. Just two! Is there a bigger insult to the institution? If one exists, could someone please enlighten me? What's the point of marrying someone you don't want to fully commit to? It couldn't be more peculiar. An open marriage is not a marriage. It's an excuse to continue... sowing wild oats. An excuse for commitment-phobes to keep playing the field, to keep bed-hopping Why would any self-respecting individual stay in such marriage? If it can be called a "marriage" To call a spade a spade, it's more like... Open adultery! Date written: 06/20/2019

Thank you, Darlene:-) I wholeheartedly agree with you. If it's bad, simply get a divorce!
