Lfm, I second that day-um.. The fact that you allow her to talk to you about OM screams to me open marriage. I'm not saying that's bad, some people like it, but i could never.

I guess the general consensus is that for the WS to snap out of the fog, and since I saw my WW go into the fog and come back out in about a 1 month period I know it's real, there has to be some loss. Cake eating simply refers to getting the best of both worlds, getting intamicy from whomever they choose and still getting the financial support and structure the family life provides.

If your LBS fully supports the A, why end it? I suspect the finial security and comfortable family life wins out most of the time when weighed against passionate intamicy, because I suspect even the WS knows that is temporary.

We all have to find our path, so if that's the path you want to walk, you'll find support for it. but my experience was when I stood up for my boundaries was when I got the most response from my WW.
