If your partner is there for you physically and emotionally whenever you need her to be, why should it be a problem if other men give her pleasure? I'm asking myself as much as I'm asking you, and I really don't have an answer.

This comes down to what a relationship is. An emotional and physical commitment, can you have a physical relationship without the emotional one. So if being 20 hours a part you started seeing other people for sex and she did to I would suspect youd each fall in love with someone else because of the emtional component. Perhaps if you limited it to paying for sex or one night stands, or with a friend where a purely non commited relationsip.
Could you prevent yourself or could she prevent herself from emotionally cheating on eachother if you had an open physical relationship. I think the physical act of cheating is far less destructive than the emotional act of cheating.
