Same, we have friends that were in an enlightened "open marriage" and are now bitterly divorced.

I can't imagine anyone pursuing that lifestyle and honestly believing it's going to work. The success rate must be sub 10%

Definitely not true. I know of many happily married people in the lifestyle. It really depends on how solid your relationship was to begin with, and how much communication and trust you have with your partner. Some people see it as a bandaid to fix what is already broken—which just delays the inevitable. However, if you have a strong relationship to begin with, and can love multiple people, or just want to screw around with multiple people, it can be an amazing and wonderful thing.

Families are the smallest unit of a healthy community, and John Lennon was killed for intending to come out about the deep state orchestrating the hippie revolution and weakening of traditional families. He was a focal point of that, felt bad, got whacked.
