ENM Relationships (Ethical Non-Monogamous)

I'm curious if anyone is in an ethical non-monogamous (ENM) relationship? This is different than a typical open relationship, and the lines of communication are fully open where everyone knows everything going on - no cheating, plenty of open communication, and pleasurable enjoyment and sex. In other words, both partners of the couple are free to have sex with one other individual. I've seen it occur in long-distance relationships.

 

Wardo,
My wife and I are ENM. That said everything is open and on the table for discussion. We have a select few couples we play with. We do everything together.
No need for cheating and no one takes one for the team. There’s no place for jealous in the a ENM relationship. Neither one us go out without the other.
If we meet a couple we both have agree to swap or we don’t do it. We both have veto power.
Pm me here if you need more help.

 

Sounds very interesting for sure, I like the idea.

 

We've been ENM in our relationship through the years. Wife has had several affairs of which I know about. In my later years I have enjoyed other women which my spouse knows about. We share nothing in detail and a few were private, no names mentioned or asked on either side.

We also had a polyamory relationship with what in the beginning was with a friend of hers. Patricia was needing a place to live in order to complete her degree and moved in with us. My spouse and she were totally platonic but still loved each other. I fell in love with Patricia and spent many nights with her even after she graduated and moved away to continue her career. She passed several years ago and up until her death we both continued to have a loving relationship with her.

At present we are one sided ENM. I still enjoy other women occasionally but my spouse has become celibate due to medical issues. It can work if both are open and honest with each other, put the other first in life, and stick to what's agreed upon.
