so what happened if that certain someone showed her appreciation of your caring sharing attitude and disappeared of into the sunset

would you still be glad you did it??
Der, well that's exactly what worries me and why I haven't done it. That's the point of my post. I like to chat about these things and consider them fully.

So notastitch could not handle himself but it is OK for others to try and screw up their lives.
What? I assume you refer to the 3some?
What other people do is none if my business. I thought through this in great detail at the time before engaging in the 3some. I eventually came to the conclusion that these people are adults and I should treat them as such. If they are happy with it then that's fine. And their life is fine after 20 yrs of marriage and 2 kids. It isn't screwed up at all. Just because you can't understand how this can work doesn't mean it can't.
Do you fully understand the ins and outs of a computer, or an atomic bomb? Probably not, but they work don't they, even though you don't get it. I don't know how they do it, but they do.

See above.

I suggest you try it first before recommending to others
As my previous comments says "I'm not arguing for this type of life style, I'm just saying I have thought about it."
And I have read through my other comments on this post and I haven't 'recommended it' to anyone.
I understand *how* people can do this. I know people that *do* do this. I have thought about it myself.
This sort of thing is for the individual to decide.
