" I will not longer have relationship conversations with you when there is a third party involved in our Marriage. I will not be a part of an Open Marriage. "

Chatterbug, that's good excpet for the
Open Marriage
Part. In my opinion you NEVER call an affair an relationship, dating, or an open marriage or a friendship or ANYTHING other than an AFFAIR...
ALWAYS call a spade a spade

I dunno, I'm as "call-a-spade-a-spade" guy as any around here, but to me, "an open marriage" is a pretty damned big spade. In fact, I would argue (very SADLY, I might add) that the media, and society, have legitimized infidelity and "affairs" so much in the past 20 years, that "open marriage" may actually carry more of a stigma than "affair" does anymore.
"Open marriage" has a cuckold implication that most rational people find completely unacceptable.
Other than that quibble, I agree with everything in your post.
