Allegra

You've been married to Allegra for four years, and you have a really wonderful, loving, supportive relationship. You both are madly in love. For both of you, this is your first real relationship, ever. One day, Allegra's friend Mallory is visiting with her husband Josh. Josh and Mallory got married a week before you, and you were their best man and bridesmaid. They seem to be totally in love with each other. But during their visit, they divulge that they are now in an open marriage. They've been practicing that for about a year now, and are both extremely happy with the arrangement. They explain in detail how it works - it's really Mallory who is interested in extramarital intimacy, not Josh, but they set rules and boundaries and keep open communication about it so that neither feels threatened or insecure or replaced. Josh is always consulted and involved when Mallory is out looking for a date.He is happy that Mallory is getting what she needs and feels fulfilled, and is adamant that this arrangement causes Mallory to act even more loving towards him, not less. You and Allegra are both stunned by what you learned about your friends. You both would never ever have considered that lifestyle for yourselves. But two days later, Allegra confides in you and tells you that there's something about her friends' arrangement that she finds... appealing.
