POLL: Is an open marriage ever a good idea? Mo'Nique thinks it is.
In an upcoming interview with Barbara Walters (airing Sunday on Walters' 29th-and last!-Oscar Special) entertainer and Academy Award nominee Mo'Nique reveals the true nature of her so-called "open marriage" to Sidney Hicks.
"Let me say this: I have not had sex outside my marriage with Sidney...Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal-breaker. That's not something that would make us say, 'Pack your things and let's end the marriage.'"
Hmmm.
"We've been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don't know who they're laying next to. I'm very comfortable and secure with my husband."
On the one hand, there's something about this which seems very civilized and highly evolved. That a purely physical sexual dalliance could not threaten decades of true love and friendship is a respectable outlook-and it values the relationship above all else. However, REALLY? You're going to let your hubs go out and put his penis in other women and this does not bother you at all, lady? Perhaps we are not enlightened enough beings, but man, that just seems wrong, wrong, dangerous, and more wrong.
Thoughts?
