Jo

It's Jo's mother's fault! She found feminist books on open marriage theory & started discussing it with your wife, who eventually accepted the idea that open marriage is the modern, feminist, non-oppressive way to be married in 2025. At 1st Jo said she'd never want to do it. But her mother kept pushing, & eventually she wanted to try it. You're opposed, but it's hard to say no to the feminist argument without sounding possessive & regressive. You very reluctantly agree to a compromise: a trial, just 1 dinner date. She'll have dinner with a guy you approve of, & simultaneously you'll go elsewhere with another girl; should either of you want to continue it beyond the restaurant you'll call 1st & make sure it's ok. You agree: no kissing without your permission, just friendly hugs beginning & end. You're clear you've not agreed to open marriage, just 1 trial; you'll compare notes after & discuss further. Her mother suggests Jo's date - her friend's son Al. You look him up & seeing no reason to object, reluctantly agree. Jo gets you a date with a girl from camp. It pains you to watch your wife dress up for her date, but you hide it. You drive her to her restaurant & hug & kiss her lovingly, hiding tears. You check your phones & promise to text throughout. Then you drive to your restaurant to meet Sima. Before she arrives you chicken out. You write a note & leave. You try to call Jo but your phone's dead! Your car charger's broken! You rush back to Jo's restaurant but it's closed; failed safety inspection! You search around for a new charger. By the time you get your phone on, you see many missed calls & texts: explaining where she's going, concerned you're not responding, & lastly: they're having such fun that they're going to his home, she assumes it's ok, but says to call if there's a problem, ending with 'I love you'! Your calls & texts go unanswered! You leave a million messages. You find Al's number but he doesn't answer either. Your m-i-l doesn't have his address!

You are in an airport with your family, waiting to board your extremely delayed flight. At the other end of the waiting area you notice a teenage girl with her family. You notice her because she's extremely beautiful. She appears to be accompanied by two extemely doting older brothers, constantly giving her cuddles, sharing their food with her, teasing her and kidding around with her. She, for her part, loves the attention, plays games with them and shows off her handstand and gymnastics skills. At one point the two of you exchange a simple hello. She's quite beautiful. When you finally board the flight, your family and hers are sitting on opposite sides of the aisle. Mid-flight, the cabin briefly loses power and goes dark, and there's a large flash of light. People scream. When the lights come back on, you look around feeling totally confused. You're sitting with Kylee's family, not your own. Except... you look down... you're wearing her clothes. You feel yourself... you're in her body! You look across the aisle and see "you" sitting there with your own family. You've switched bodies with Kylee! 'How could this happen?' you wonder to yourself, panicking. Kylee's brothers are talking to 'you' asking if you're all right; you don't respond at first.

You and Noa are happily married and live in Netanya not too far from the beach. Noa's mother lives in Haifa, in a small co-op with a swimming pool. One day you're home with Noa and a mysterious package arrives. It contains a designer teal bikini and a note from a Daniel. Noa doesn't remember anyone by that name, but then she reads the note. "Noa, ever since that afternoon last summer when we talked in your mother's pool, I can't stop thinking about you. I know you're married, but I hope there's still a small vacancy in your heart for me, too, and that we can be special friends. I believe this color will really suit your eyes. I'm coming to Netanya next Friday and hope we can go to the beach together; maybe I'll rent a small boat and we can spend a few hours out at sea. See you Friday. ❤️ דניאל" Noa shows you the gift and the note. At first Noa wants to return the gift, but there's no return address. In talking to her mother, she becomes convinced that she's overreacting. Why can't she be friends with him? He's just being nice. She needs more friends in her life.

Bonita

You and Bonita are married. One day Bonita admits that she meets with other guys behind your back. She hasn't done anything yet beyond innocent minor stuff, but she's tempted and it's hard for her not to take things further, she tells you. You panic, and take her to the town witch. With Bonita's full consent, the witch puts a spell on her that completely removes any desire to even look at another man. It is so successful that Bonita becomes adverse to being geographically near any man other than you, at all. But your joy is short-lived. You soon discover that although the spell succeeded, it also really reduced Bonita's joy of life; she doesn't seem interested in much at all anymore, and she seems generally depressed and frustrated with life. Out of your love for her, you bring her back to the witch and have the spell reversed, despite the witch's warnings that Bonita's desires are going to return now stronger than ever. You ask the witch to do it anyway; you love Bonita and would rather she not be so depressed. The witch then advises you both to find a way to allow Bonita to get what she needs, explaining that it's part of who she is as a person. Some women physically need multiple men in their lives, she explains, and it doesn't mean that she loves any of them, or that she loves you any less. The witch suggests that you and Bonita together come up with ground rules for an acceptable open-marriage framework by which you can both feel happy.

You and Evie have been happily married for a number of years. During your first year of marriage, Evie asked about Open Marriage, but when you told her you'd never be able to agree to that she quickly dropped the subject and never brought it up again. She's always been completely faithful, loving and reliable, even as she's a very curious, adventurous and playful human being. There's a book that Evie's dying to read, and it's only available for purchase from the author, who lives in the next town over, a 5 hour drive. You make the trip for her, spend some time with your mother who lives in that town, and spend the night in a motel before returning home. While you're gone, Evie texts you to tell you that she'll be going out with her sister Melanie. She says she'll call or text you when she gets back home. Late that evening your friend Sam texts you with a picture of Evie, telling you he saw her out on a date with some other guy.

Her mom told you that Ashley's too afraid to bring it up with you. She also told you that back in high school Ashley was a really wild girl and probably went home with every member of the football team. You didn't know this.

Charlize

It's 2100 CE and society has evolved, becoming very woman-led, with men's rights curtailed greatly. Women practically own their husbands and can make all decisions for them. Men wear locked ankle-monitors, and women can have their husbands arrested at will without trial if they suspect unfaithfulness, or they can punish them however they see fit. Every married woman receives from the government a "euthanasia pill" to use on her husband if the relationship turns sour. Meanwhile, society recognizes women's biological needs to seek adventure, and married women are not expected or presumed to ever stay faithful even though men are expected to be faithful to their wives. Medicine has evolved and unwanted pregnancy and stds are long in the past. You've known Charlize forever because she was your sister's friend first; you married her because you felt you could trust her. And she is an amazing spouse to you; you both love each other dearly. You've been married for 3 years now.
