Yeah, in this case it's a little less likely to happen, since dude lives in England, but still. I've tried to get on SL, but like you said, it's just boring to me. Early on I brought up the option of divorce to the wife, and she's insistent that that's not what she wants. *shrugs* So we continue to try to work on things, and life goes on.

And like rpu3 said, I wouldn't judge all open marriages by my situation. I realize there's some huge flashing neon warning signs all over my relationship, but that doesn't mean it's because of the open marriage. In my case, the open marriage is more of a symptom of the problem, than the cause. And now I sound all sad and pathetic, like a kicked puppy. Awwww.
