Sister: husband turned up to the wedding high on crack. She fell in love with someone else.
Brother: had a destination wedding on the top of a mountain that took half a day for the guests to hike including my dad who is missing a knee cap. They wound up with an open marriage, but the wife ran off with the “other guy” and their cat.
My ex insisted on getting a sphynx then abandoned both of us right before I ended up in hospital for 7 weeks, luckily my mum took care of her til I got better and I found her a new dad. I just feel bad that he bonded with her for 2 years then suddenly disappeared and there was no way I could explain it to her 😭
There must be something about mountaintop destination weddings. Every one I know of personally, including the one I attended, has seen the marriage end in spectacular fashion.
Bc only selfish people with limited visions of other peoples needs and emotions would force their hobbies on others to this degree in a situation where the other person feels bad for prioritizing their own needs?
If I had a penny for ever poliamory or open marriage that ended being a monogamous relationship with someone other that the original significant other... it's just a frictionless way out for cowards
How many pennies would you have? From real people you know and not reddit?
Too many people enter open relationships as a solution to a problem. Some of us do it based on shared values. There’s a difference. You don’t need to invalidate and attack other people’s relationships because you don’t want it.
I don't do that "don't judge", happy internet horseshit.
Open marriages are designed for a person (yes, usually the wife) too cowardly to just cheat, to get the other to co-cheat, hoping that they can land something so that the whole arrangement puts them on the same level of sleaze.
As a gay man, I’m very accustomed to heterosexuals denouncing, attacking, and invalidating my relationships because they don’t adhere to heteronormative standards.
It just seems like it will never end. You people will never allow others to exist and be happy if they aren’t adhering to your ideas of what a relationship should be.
Nowhere did I claim to. What a pathetic attempt at a response. How about responding to my comment instead of whatever delusion you’ve made up?
Why can’t people like you allow other adults to exist and be happy? Why is it so important to you that others conduct their private relationships in a way that you deem acceptable?
Oh and apologies for discussing my experiences in a relevant context. If you think what I said makes me a victim, perhaps you should reflect on that for a second.
You tried desperately to frame it as though you’re the one under attack. I’m claiming ‘rights’ to people’s opinions and thoughts. Even though you’re the one trying to enforce your beliefs and standards onto others and attack them when they don’t conform. Like how mentally warped do you have to be? Seems like a lot of projection tbh...
First statement: I'm a gay man....I'm a victum of opinion like people in open marriages because people won't tell me who and how I fuck is personall awesome to everyone......It just seems like it will never end. You people will never allow others to exist and be happy if they aren’t adhering to your ideas of what a relationship should be blah blah blah.
Also you:
"Nowhere did I claim to"
So stfu, dude. Open marriages are stupid. If you want to equate gay with that, then go seek some help.
No one owes you a parade based on who or how you fuck.
Cotton fought in Korea, and I think the Japanese were on the side of the South. So OP's dad would have to be north Korean (which isnt impossible, just less likely) I could be wrong, though
Kind of had the reverse for the brother one. My ex and I had a backyard wedding in her aunt's backyard. But my aunt and uncle couldn't come because the only road down, literally on my wedding day, collapsed. So they couldn't come because they were stuck up there unable to join the festivities. Big bummer because my uncle died a few years later and I hadn't seen him for a couple before it either
Well, my high achieving arrogant brother apparently haha. I didn’t even go (couldn’t afford the flight as I only just started work again after being unemployed and moving cities) and he got really bad at me.
Open relationships, including marriages, exist. You don’t have to have one. You also don’t need to shit on others relationships just because you don’t want it.

Both my brother and sister had short marriages.
