ya know what? I bet that many people, men and women alike, think/feel the same but do not have the courage to fight the status quo. the result is either frustrated monogamy, or guilt-inducing affairs.

so kudos to both of you, for willing to shed this narrow view. hope it all goes well and it does not lead to your breaking up, because you make a great team.

I cannot even touch this subject with my partner, a very clear-minded,smart,progressive person in most other aspects [considering a catholic upbringing in a backwater country, could have turned out much worse]. but I've thought about it wishfully, even if the term itself is new to me.

so for me it feels good at least to know that others are/get more enlightened. I hope to live to see the end of this primitive institution called marriage.

good luck to both of you, on this new path of exploration!
