Your strong reaction to it, calling it "silly" and "absurd" is interesting - why do you think you react so strongly?
What I mean is that the upheaval of divorce seems like a huge and unnecessary drama when you can have great sex in an open marriage. Furthermore, at this point, I'm not interested in marrying someone else just to solve the sexual problem.
I'm not talking about "open marriage" like some kind of controversial reality show with all its drama. I'm talking about what's going on a lot more than people think -- quiet marriages where property, healthcare, benefits, inheritance is all the way people want it, but everyone agrees they'd like to have some fun, or not deny it to other loved ones. We're not going to have any more kids, which is a big part of what marriage legally supports in a nice way. Realigning all that for each and every sexual relationship of unknown duration really is absurd.
