Have open marriages gone mainstream?
Briefly

When Molly Roden Winter stormed out of the house one evening, fed up with her husband returning home too late to help with their children, things took an unexpected turn. She went to a bar with a friend and ended up meeting a much younger man. But instead of an affair, she tells Helen Pidd, her interest in this other man sparked a surprising conversation with her husband and led to them opening up their marriage to other people.
Winter explains what she learned about herself and relationships from her open marriage. And how she discovered her mother had also had an open relationship but had kept it hidden. In the UK, another mother of young children has written a book inspired by her open marriage, while the therapist Andrew G Marshall says non-monogamous relationships are not the taboo they once were.
