There are good reasons why we should consider open relationships wrong. You say there are some case where infidelity doesn't violate commitment, I would say this detail is irrelevant, because on average, it does.
Again. Why would it be wrong in their relationship? If two people are in an open relationship, and it is not harming them or anyone else...what...what exactly is wrong about their relationship?

Again, you're inferring moral judgment from special cases. It might happen that a partner is okay with an open relationship, but we know that jealousy is the predominant theme with regards to marriage.
Either you can tell me what exactly is wrong, or you're "struggling" - and so this is not a genuine objection, between us.
