Yes, that is so (about the "open" relationships). My wife doesn't believe in that.
I quite agree that is the issue of breaking of a promise (trust).
In addition, many men do feel that "only" sex does not mean love, nor that they love their partners less. But, in my opinion, "only" sex can not compare to sexual relations when there is true love involved.
And even if partners do not have the kind of love that bonds them together physically, emotionally and spiritually, partners can (and should, in my opinion) be truthful and faithful to their relationship. The love expressed can become a wonderful bond if worked at.
It truly does take two to tango. Hard to keep a meaningful dance going when one partner is running off the dance floor to dance with another - even if for just a few moments.
But as you say, if both (or all) partners like to participate in the conga, then that is their decision.
