I think you're right, actually, not just in my case, but in general. You have to start with a healthy relationship between you and your spouse before you can add any other elements to it, whether it's playing together or seperate.
I'm glad I came on here and started talking to you guys, because it's gotten my brain juices flowing. I want to work on what we already have before or if we chose to expand on it. Looking elsewhere for attention isn't going to make things any better on the home front, but it can hurt.
I'm still not saying that open marriage/polyamory/swinging is a bad thing, but if the foundation is crumbling, the house can't stand, whether it's a Ranch or a Tudor.
