I base my opinions on open marriage on my own investigation of swinging and later readings I've done on human sexuality as it relates to genetics and evolution.

I think we all know that swinging is not for everyone and every personality type.

The same of course applies to an open marriage, only more so, there are going to be even less people who will 'succeed' in an open marriage than a swinger one.

An open marriage is often the last resort to fix a broken one, and obviously won't be very successful for most people in that. This was my initial feeling with the OP and apparently it turns out to be the case.

geminigrey I wish you luck you are dealing with someone with an addiction more than anything else, those games have destroyed countless relationships even without a sexual aspect to them. I normally don't say look for professional help in that, and I don't know if psychology has caught up to dealing with this kind of addiction yet, but you may find resources out there to help out as this is such a common problem.
