Husband cheated, left, trying to DB

[SteveLW]

When I was in my early 20s, a friend of mine dated 2 girls at once. And even juggled a third for a short time. I remember some of us guys hanging out with him one time. We all were telling him how he was our hero and how he was living every guy's dream at having multiple GFs.

I'll never forget his response:

"You guys have no idea how exhausting this is. And how mentally and emotionally draining it is. You are always trying to keep them both happy, you have to field questions about where you were when you were with the other one, and you live in fear of them finding out about each other. It isn't the dream you all seem to think it is."

I've told that story to many people over the years that were contemplating a similar arrangement. Trust me, the pressures he is facing are not something one wishes for.
