Thanks everyone, appreciate the replies. I'm sorry, like I said, to some degree it was just the venting thing. What I mean by that though is posting like this and getting real feedback from real people really help me process these type of things, even when they say the same things I do to myself in my head. I struggle to do it all in my head these days.
Specifically to [MENTION=21075]Borg69[/MENTION], I get what you're saying and why you might think that. If I thought the answer was as easy as to not be faithful, everything would be much simpler, but I'm not designed that way. Truthfully even if she was all for open relationships, I still probably wouldn't be ok with it.
I seem to be built to only be with one person and that is the issue I was trying to sort through, I don't feel like one person can be the multitude (specifically the mutually exclusive) things that would make me feel fulfilled or happy or content or whatever it is that this is.
