The Open Marriage

“We were supposed to be the ones who made it work.”

Jen and Leo think a new rulebook can save their marriage. They soon realize that honesty is much scarier than keeping secrets.

“I thought I could handle the truth. I was wrong.”

Jealousy doesn't just go away because you gave someone permission. It actually grows faster when you know exactly who they are with.

The small lies about where you are feel just as heavy as the big ones. Trust is fragile even when the doors are wide open.

“Seeing her look that way for someone else broke me.”

Leo struggles with the reality of Jen dating other people. Watching your partner find joy elsewhere is a special kind of torture.
