The Relationship Playbook  

From the time you realized you could wipe your own ass, you were taught the monogamy fairy tale.  You're supposed to find that ONE special, mystical, majestical, soul mate that you're completely sexually and emotionally compatible with.  That ONE person that would fulfill all your needs - physical, financial, emotional, sexual, etc.  After all, you're told that if you're in love - truly in love - then you will never have a need or desire for anything from anyone else.

That's how relationships work, right?

They why do you find yourself attracted to someone else? 
Why do you wish that your partner had some of the traits of someone else?

Sure, you may choose to not act on it, but why do you have those feelings if you're with your "one, true love"? If that one person is everything, then you shouldn't think of anyone else, right?

What do you do for those needs and desires that aren't being met? Do you just deny those desires, tell yourself you don't need them, and bury those feelings or do you quietly indulge those desires and cheat?

Doesn't seem like much of a choice, does it?  Not get what you want, or lie, sneak around, and bring a whole new set of problems to your relationship.

So what do you do? An "open" relationship is a possibility, but is it a realistic one? Can you really get everything you want by having multiple relationships and yet you and everyone else be happy about it? And just what is an open relationship anyway? A bunch of crazy ass swingers that have wild parties and orgies on the daily?
