God, this thread is a breath of fresh air. Every time the topic came up on reddit, you had the same core of bitter whiny losers reciting the same archetype of the rejected and resentful guy stuck at home while his GF was out 'cheating' on him, and insisting that this was the reality in every single case.

Dammit I don't care what you get up to with who, I just want to know how many people I'm cooking for.

Yep, same boat. We've been married for 20+ years, she's had a boyfriend for 5 years or so and occasionally plays with other people, BF's wife's as cool with it as I am, everything's chill.

She left her earrings on the dresser at her boyfriend's place a while back, he sent his wife to drop them back to her and it was just an omg hiiiiii moment for both of them.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal for most people, I really don't. It's so utterly low-stress and completely... ordinary, to my way of thinking.
