I'm more of a realist than idealist. I'm content with my current status and no, I'm not going to ask my wife her thoughts. .
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Very wise!

Do people in longterm monogamous relationships not think they'd be happier and more fulfilled if they also had sex with beautiful people whenever they wanted (and it not affect their relationship)?

Do you think beautiful people don't get married? Or than less-than-beautiful people don't make good lovers?

This question is laden with a couple of assumptions, I think.

I met my current wife at the RDF forum. She gave me my first internet warning. It was love! When RDF folded we moved to Rationalia. You had the option to have a private forum there and Robin and I swapped >20K messages, each. We meshed nicely. Still goin' strong.

No doubt, I've just never been married. Lived with my son's mom for five years, but didn't seem to make her happy very often.
