My hubby and i thought that an open relationship would be perfect for us . . . but when it came time a couple months ago to make the actual final sexual leap into it with the other man, I couldn't do it and we decided it wasn't for us, we're happy with just each other . . . but we were/are always honest, as long as you have honesty, you have everything you need.
My personal thought on your situation and life in general is:
I think how anyone finds happiness, more power to them and you seem happy, so more power to you yotta!
In this world, there are so many ppl who are trying to fit into a mold and are unhappy, there are so many ppl incapable of letting love and feelings into their lives . . . so i praise you for rising above the mold and i am happy for you that you've found yourself some joy and love
