Chapter 1.
"Did you see that article in the magazine about open relationships? It seems to be quite a trend these days. It seems wild that people fool around with others and then with each other as if nothing had happened. Could you imagine doing that?"
"An impossible thought for me. If I were with someone else, it surely would affect us too. So it's cheating and it's forbidden in the rules."
"Well, it's not cheating, if it's already been agreed upon, and what the hell are the rules you're talking about?"
"About the rules of marriage. They are de facto rules that everyone knows."
"Yeah, but in an open marriage, they change those rules together. You can have sex with others as you please and it's not cheating."
"Hey, I don't want that. I don't want you to screw anyone but me."
"Whoah, don't get all excited. I just wanted to hear what you think about that. It seems I have to postpone my date a little further then, hehhe. That thought is just kind of tickling. Isn't that pretty wild or what."
"Well, if your head were built in such a way that you could separate things into their own compartments and the relationships wouldn't affect each other, then I guess it could work. But my mind would never be able to handle that kind of thing.
If you fucked someone else and I knew about it, I wouldn't be able to deal with you normally after that.
I'd go crazy at the thought. Absolutely impossible for me. But somehow I can imagine that you're digging it."
"Huh! We're quite different. Sometimes it's surprising to me how we really ended up together. But if I offer you pizzas, you could make me a little drunk and we could imagine that we deviated a little from those rules of yours and we would do that. Like we just met and I'm in open relationship and you can try to get into my panties right away on the first date, deal?"
"Oh yeah, I feel like I am going to be lucky tonight."
"Don't you dream, it's only your first date, hey. You'll have to do your best even to get the second, hehhe."
...
"What's new Lisa?"
"I have a lover, can you imagine!"
"What the hell! Are you and Rick breaking up?"
"No no, we've opened our marriage. Both of us can have other partners and neither of us can make a big fuss about it. Well, in practice I have a lover and Rick can dream about it, hehhe."
"Sounds incredible. How the hell did that happen?"
"Well, you've probably seen those endless articles about open relationships. I talked to Alice about it some time ago and Alice told me that she and Tom have been in an open relationship for almost two years. She said that it has been the salvation of their marriage. She has slept with six different guys in two years. Guys were handsome and good in bed, better than Tom, she said, hehhe.
That stuck in my head. One night, when Rick once again did his annoying quick performance, I told him that now we will open our marriage and the conversation was this. I figured Rick wouldn't make a fuss about it, and that's what happened.
There is a guy at work who has been crushing on me for a long time. He is easy for eyes and comfortable enough. Such a tight hunk. A few years younger of course. At first I agreed for lunch and one evening for drinks. We went dancing and drank a couple of bottles of wine. I then stayed the night and it was indeed a hot night. It reminded me of my college days. It's been going on for about three weeks now. We have sex usually once or twice a week. At his place because he lives alone."
"How's Rick taking it? Isn't he miserable? Or does he have someone also?"
"Rick has tried to seduce a couple of coworkers, but they haven't given him any. He's clearly jealous, yes, but he hasn't made any ultimatums. He's a bit rude on date nights. What could he do? It's pretty clear to Rick now that he is in a little bit of a different level than me. If I'm nine, then he's maybe seven. He couldn't possibly get any better, so the best thing for him is to just accept his fate. Besides, if I'm spending a couple of nights a week with Oliver, I'm still home for five nights. And I don't think he's lacking in any way. He probably gets all the sex he can handle."
"Wow, that sounds incredible. I would never have believed that about you guys! I have to admit that I'm quite jealous of you. Mark would never agree to that."
"Don't say that! I think your relationship is quite similar to ours: you're also nine and Mark maybe seven plus, also I think Mark is quite submissive like Rick. A bit like a wimp, I'm sorry. Now what would he do if you left him? He'd end up alone somewhere in the dark. He hardly even has any friends other than the ones you have in common. If there was a breakup, they'd still choose you. I'm sure Mark would do like Rick and resign himself to his fate."
