Default Re: Open Marriage vs Swinging?

Quote:
I think as a swinger I've read/seen this more as well. In the non-swinger world though I think the "open marriage" is more common as things are so broken they want to do their own thing. Normally someone already found someone they are attracted too, or they just want to feel better about cheating. This is what I think is going on in the OP, at least potentially.
I had a neighbor that wanted to get into swinging, they asked us as they (once upon a time) were close friends and knew about us. Now had they heeded our advice and came here to read up and ask questions, or even sat down and asked us questions, rather than just saying they think they want to try it, perhaps it may have worked or they would have never tried. What they did do is found a lady whos hubby was out of country (not by choice) and they began to schmooz her. the wife of the couple started feeling STRONG jealous feeling right off, the hubby descided he wanted to do what he wanted to do and now 2 marriages are broke up and none of the 4 are with anyone they were involved with.

I say that to say this I think the ones failing are the ones going into it half cocked ( no pun intended) and the ones that are already on the rocks and shakey
