Open marriage [spoiler]


Regarding Naird.....He was so cut up about his wife wanting an open marriage, and so happy that they’d managed to finally make love on his last conjugal visit.....but then he goes on the one date with the architect woman (assuming not too soon afterwards) AND sleeps with her immediately. Really? Lost respect for the character after that.

Wait... they had sex? Strange I don't remember that. I remember them talking about it in the hypothetical sense & I seem to recall a kiss scene but I don't recall them actually having sex. In any case I think it was pretty sick actually how the wife basically emotionally blackmailed him into agreeing to an open marriage on her terms that he clearly didn't want. It was strongly implied that she was already involved with the female prison guard and would have continued whether or not he agreed. She just wanted to guilt him into sanctioning it after the fact so she could openly have her cake and eat pie too. I've heard many stories in real life of sexually confused sluts dropping this sort of thing on their partners.

Well, I assumed they did because the timeline/storyline was pretty quick and seemed to go - they went on a date and he said he needed to tell his daughter about her before she ever went to his house and yes, they joked about taking things further. Then I think one - if not the next scene - was that it was morning, in his house and he was in the kitchen with his daughter sorting breakfast and the woman came down from upstairs! Generally, in film and a TV shows, that means she slept over and they had sex.
I agree that the wife was cruel and single-minded about the open marriage idea and that she’d already entered into a relationship within the prison.

Dude... this is highly unfair. She literally insisted with passion for this while he was trying very hard to talk her out of it. Honestly, at this point, she's got what she wanted, him participating to the deal. Basically, she can do it without any guilt from now on. I actually think that it would been stupid to not do anything while his wife would sleep around without any hesitation.

*SPOILER *

That being said, at the end of the season she escapes with him. So, I don't know what the outcome will be. She might as well get mad at him, but then that would make her a special kind of crazy. And I don't if she had the opportunity to sleep around yet.

I know what you’re saying....I just held him in such an higher esteem obviously lol....even though, we know his wife has told him to do it.
I don’t know, it’s just me...even though he obviously likes the architect lady and his wife’s said it’s ok, I thought maybe he’d take longer to get to that stage, so by that point it wouldn’t seem so typical *sleeps with someone on first date*, which I personally don’t get (approve of?), especially when he will have to drop so many whammies on his daughter’s head about it (and she’s obviously not that stable).... but guess that situation‘s not happened to me, so who am I to judge....it must be by upbringing etc to instil that in me, and jee this is even a fictional character lol.
And yes, I’ve seen the whole thing, so am fully aware of the end - although I assume her girlfriend is the extra person in that helicopter with them!
Wonder what will happen definitely!
;-p

sleeps with someone on first date*

I've done it before and I honestly think that people make too much of a big deal out of it. If that attraction and the will to do it is mutual, and that you are both comfortable in that decision, I really don't think it's a big deal.

Well... I must admit that I was the one making the move, because I always assumed that girls like to take slowly... but I guess I've met a few who weren't the patient type or something. XD

I assume her girlfriend is the extra person in that helicopter with them!

Yes, thank you! That's what I wasn't sure to remember well. Yes I assumed it as well.
