Yeah, that'd be horrible.
Look: there are millions and millions of different ways to have your relationship work. That's because there are millions and millions of different relationships, and they're all unique.
If you're stuck in one particular view of how a relationship "should" be, then I encourage you to examine that. Perhaps strict monogamy is what you really want, but if you've never questioned that, how would you know?
It takes a lot of communication, maturity, and generosity, but relationship arrangements that include other people can be extremely fulfilling and satisfying. It is actually possible to be deeply happy observing your loved one being happy and in love with someone else. Now, getting there isn't necessarily easy. But it's possible.
