How do married couples deal with knowing that their partners are attracted to other people whether they act on their attraction or not, certain possible consequences in specific scenarios would make acting on that attraction unwise but as a matter of principle, I don't see why people make the distinction (between their partner's attraction to other people and their acting on it), it seems arbitrary and vague to me. Most would probably think it's a bad comparison but if you're fine with your friends having other friends, I don't see how letting your partner have sex with others goes against the "purpose" of marriage.
'Cheating' implies that agreed upon rules have been violated. People in open relationships don't agree to behave monogamously so they're not 'cheating' when they don't.
Well that is not how we roll in my world..... IMO it's glorified cheating.
I would NEVER EVER EVER be okay with something like this.
