Yeah, don't become swingers to try to save a marriage, that's going to blow up spectacularly. Become swingers because you have a strong and trusting marriage but both partners feel they need physical intimacy beyond their partner.

Don't stay married for the kids, don't try and open a marriage after infidelity. They're already not faithful, just tear the bandaid off and move on

I use to go to a lot of swinger stuff. Good times. Wasn't married though. Hot wives just wanted some D.

Ironically, I was becoming a potentially poly person while she was... already a poly person (just, y'know. Without consent).
Don't get arrested, but do go ahead and be petty for a while. There's a chance that what you've been brainwashed to believe is petty is actually just standing up for yourself.

Sort all that sh*t out before you get married, preferably early into dating. Otherwise you risk ruining your relationship if you both aren't on the same page, unless for some reason you like fostering resentment.

I don't understand the juxtaposition of liking rules, structure, and definitions enough to enter into a postnup, but being free, casual, and adventurous enough to desire an open relationship.

My brother did this a couple of decades ago under advice of an attorney. He was smart about it and his cheating wife wasn't. Basically they just agreed on things like custody and distribution of property ahead of time just to make it easier if, in their case when, they decided to split up.
One of the things the attorney put in was that he gets the house, if any, in Kentucky. My brother asked why and the attorney said that's just in case your parents die and leave you their house. When the wife saw that she said she wants the house, if any, in their state. He was military and they were living in post housing so he agreed. She agreed to everything else he asked for. A month after they signed she said, "We should buy a house." She actually thought he would do that. She moved out and he requested a change of duty station far away. Once there he filed f

Don't get married.
Don't have cheeldren.
Realize that love doesn't need legal sanction, or college-to-grave longevity.

For me, it's about protecting the relationship. My partner and I are both semi-open, but we have rules to keep either of us from getting our feelings hurt.
Flirting with someone else is always okay, but don't make the other feel neglected.
Sharing nudes is always okay.
You must always ask before getting physical with someone else.
The other person should generally say yes when asked, if they say no, they should have a reason (I'll be jealous is a valid reason)
Asking while intoxicated doesn't not require the other person to provide a reason for saying no. This is for your protection as much as mine.
Playing together is more fun than playing separately, though separate is fine especially if the other one isn't interested. Playing separately because the new person doesn't like your partner is not acceptable. (although this can be waived if it's just physical attraction divergence and both parties are like minded, i.e. my partner sometimes likes really ugly guys and sometimes those really ugly guys don't think I'm attractive. This is fine).
We're both homos so it's a lot easier.
Freedom, but not so much freedom that the core relationship is harmed. We've been together 13 years and still going strong :-)

Murder/suicide is also an option.
Might be a bit dramatic, but I guess it depends on the situation.

It's not for everyone. It's worked for my wife and I for 35 years now. Monogamous and happy because she really is my best friend.

That last rule, there was this one fun time where my partner had talked a couple into coming and playing with us, but he thought only one of the new guys was attractive and I found the other one really attractive, and they both had the same opinions about us. That was a lot of fun

I agree. Married people who don't have sex should be forced to divorce. After all, what's the point of marriage if there's no sex?

The hell you can't!! My favorite kind of picnic are the ones with only hotdogs. Hotdogs as far as the eye can see... Maybe the occasional bratwurst or kielbasa to keep things interesting...

Find a better lawyer. This is not that arcane of a contract. Just as durable as a prenup.

You can be committed to each other and still sleep with other people. Poly people still have all the same reasons to get married as monogamous people do.

Given that she already has all your stuff in the marriage, that sounds like a bargain.
Mind you, I remember years ago finding out that a friend of a friend was divorced and still living together at opposite ends of their house. I think that economic loss of shelter, income, benefits, etc holds more marriages together than love or children.

Record it, gather evidence, act nonchalant about it, and then find the most opportune, embarassing time for the person doing the cheating to drop the bomb on them along with the divorce papers.

Why bother? If you don't have the integrity to stand up and swear before Man and God to be exclusively loyal to your spouse "til death do us part", any pre- or post-nup isn't worth the paper it's written on.

I know the founders of that firm quoted in TFA from my days doing family law in the late 90's early 2ks and while I am not shocked to see it is them offering this advice, it is....frankly, terrible. I doubt any post-nup would be considered worth the paper it is printed only by most courts. There would be a DEEP inquiry into the circumstances of the signing of anything that limited your marital property rights,They would want to know whether it was signed under duress or threat of ending the marriage, what benefit the spouse signing it received to offset the rights they surrendered, etc etc. And anything waiving or limiting child support would be set aside as legally invalid anyway

I always thought a "post-nuptial" agreement was otherwise known as a "Divorce Decree." Infidelity never did me in, but whatever it was ripped it out through my wallet.

If it's signed and notarized it absolutely will stand up in divorce court just like a pre-nup.

Divorce court isn't the court you should be worried about.
