When pressed by reporters, she has called her arrangement "sane," which is about the last word most of us would associate with that kind of home life. "We are all a family," she has said. "What you must also know is that we are all very happy."


Those people are all actors and the situation is contrived.
It's not real life at all. It's like a reality show. It's total BS.

In a communal situation back in the seventies I experienced open marriage of many couples and a lot of singles.
It was fun at first, but it ended up as a disaster for everybody.
Nearly every couple was destroyed. And the ones that survived only did so by totally rejecting the whole idea.

The atmosphere which had started out as a sort of liberated hippy lifestyle became Hotel-California-esque.

I guess this is one of those subject that I really have no opinion. I will never find out whether an open marriage will work. I would never participate in one.

Hi allwave

For what its worth.... here's my story...tis true

Once upon a time... in the late 60's

I was still at school, I went to a party with a friend and a married couple.

This couple had agreed on an open relationship and as soon as we arrived, the bloke started flirting and kissing another girl in the room.

I couldn't but help and watch the wife..... she appeared to be
'smiling through her hurt and tears'crying

Nope it just doesn't work.... I saw it doh

and personally, I would never go down that road.
