**trigger warning**
A new documentary on HBO where a couple in their 30’s decide to have an open relationship for several months prior to getting married.
From a statement the woman made in the first 5 minutes about their agreed upon rules, I did not like her. I went to Twitter to see what was being said and the poly community (as I expected) and others panned it heavily. I watched it but I think my face was WTF bitch, most of the time.
As a BS, it felt voyeuristic and sad but I did not trigger. I’m a long way from dday though. For others where poly was pushed by the WS, it may be difficult.

I saw an ad for that and thought "dafuq?" Who would want to have an HBO show of their sex life? And who would want to watch it?
I never considered myself a prude, but it seems I probably am by today's standards. Bridgerton is a good example, I enjoyed it, but was irritated at the amount of fairly explicit sex on screen.... e.g., a guy doing oral on his wife in a stairwell strikes me as (a) terribly uncomfortable and (b) terribly unnecessary to move the plot along - what happened to a screen shot of a passionate kiss and cut to the raging fireplace?
I'm becoming an old lady carmudgeon every friggin day....

They are definitely not role models for how to have an open relationship well or ethically.
But since when is reality TV actually a good example of anything?
Me: BW, my xH left me & DS after a 14 year marriage for the AP in 2014.
Happily remarried and in an open/polyamorous relationship. DH (married 5 years) & DBF (dating 4 years). Cohabitating happily all together!! <3
