Llo from Wisconsin: “My wife and I have an open marriage. If I see
something I like, I go for it, and so does she. This keeps us both happy
and without any secrets, so no one gets hurt.”
Horatio: “Me and all my ex-wives had an open marriage too. I’d open
the door to kick one out to make room for the next. That way I didn’t get
hurt.”
Willoughby: “An open marriage, per say, can be fine if the couple is
responsible with their dalliances. This is rarely the case, meaning that
they might bring harm to other individuals or relationships because of
their own lack of commitment. Llo and his wife have a responsibilty to
their extramarital partners, if not to themselves.”
Horatio: “Did you get all that, Llo? Willy Freud here says you can have
your cake but be careful with another pie; you don’t want to hurt its
fillings.”
KsS from Hawaii: “I met my second wife at a wedding under similar
circumstances. We were both married to other people yet were
incredibly attracted to each other. We carried on a secret affair for
months and fell in love. She and I, after divorcing our spouses, have
now been together for five wonderful years.”
Horatio: “See there, Willis, good things can come out of a little hanky-
spanky. They didn’t deny themselves a sampling and now look, happily
ever after.”
Willoughby: “It would be interesting to see how happily ever after the
former spouses are. The origins of this union were covert and
deceitful, which can very well transfer to their current relationship.”
Horatio: “What if they were meant to meet and finally find each other at
that wedding. Maybe they were already on the outs with their previous
“roommates”—it just wasn’t meant to be. Did you ever think about
that?”
Willoughby: “Yes, that may very well be the case; however, they should
finalize their first commitments before starting others.”
Alice from Utah: “I was a victim of this type of situation at my cousin’s
wedding. The humiliation and gossip were unbearable. I made him
suffer through the divorce like I did. In fact, Horatio reminds me of my
ex-jerk; I hope you both burn in hell!”
Horatio: “Lady, you have no idea how close to home you really are. I live
for this archetype of upheaval. In fact, I was right there cheering on
your hubby. That’s what you remember.”
Willoughby: “Alice, don’t think of yourself as a victim. Think of yourself
as the winner. Impress upon the fact that you’re no longer involved
with the scoundrel, and move on to a better life.
BAB from NYC: “Why do people get married in the first place? Most
marriages end up in divorce court with everyone hating each other
anyway. I’ll never get married. I’m happy playing the field.”
Horatio: “Batter up! Let’s give BAB from NYC the MVP for most singles
in the game of life!”
Willoughby: “We are lucky enough to live the life of our own choosing.
If we choose to commit, do it for the right reasons and be honest with
one another. If you don’t want to be in a relationship, be forward about
that also.”
Horatio: “Don’t be too sure about telling a broad that you’re only
interested in her lower forty. You’ll wind up playing in a field of dreams
with Rosie Palmer and her four sisters on the corner of Thumb Street.”
