A close friend of mine got involved with a woman in an open marriage, meaning that she and her husband were free to date and have sex with whoever they wanted. So she was kind of my friend's part-time girlfriend. I didn't think that it was a good situation for my friend, but he didn't ask for my advice, so I kept my opinion to myself. The husband had too much trouble finding women who were okay with his open marriage, so he recently asked his wife to stay exclusive with him, so now she is just friends with my frustrated pal. My friend isn't ready to move on yet, so he is stuck in this sexless limbo with her.
Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.
