Every relationship is complicated. Every non-monogamus relationship is even more complicated. I will not ask for advice, but I am curious: when you first opened up your relationship, what was the most consequential ground rule that you set, that made the arrangement work, or that showed you that it wouldn't work?
Certainly you've agreed to more than that. Maybe not explicitly, but implicitly (in which case talk more).
Can you buy a home or live half time with another partner? Spend a holiday with them? Go on vacation with them? Buy them an expensive gift or dinner to celebrate something? Introduce them to your friends?
If that works for you fine. I dont feel its common courtesy. I don't feel obligated to let someone know I'm busy on nights we haven't made plans. But thats me. Im always busy. If I dont have plans with you, I'm definitely occupied doing something.
I've never opened a relationship.
I make agreements that absolutely evolve and change. They are mutually agreed and discussed. Rules are for prisoners and childrens.

Everyone?
You tell all your partners who you are with at all times? So anyone you are dating gets updates everytime you go somewhere with your wife?
