Group sex…unintentionally

If you can’t be with the one you love, honey love the one you’re with.

I’m in what I think would be a rather odd situation…but maybe not. The more I think about it the less unique I think it is. Both Belle and I, if we had ultimate say so in the matter, would probably rather still be with the ones we were with prior to us getting together. Yes. I know that sounds cold and empty but we both do a fairly good job giving each other their “space” about it and not using it as a weapon against each other.
This isn’t about jealousy, really. Belle definitely does it for me and I have a pretty good idea I do it for her as well. Neither of us have ever called out the wrong name or anything like that. I certainly don’t look at her and wish she was anyone other than who she is already. On second thought I can think of a few things I’d change but we’re not gonna go there today. However it wouldn’t surprise me if the occasional memory of those people darted through our minds during the idle times. It does make me wonder to what extent our past partners (and those of others in similiar situations) are still in bed with us. I could take this one step further and say the person I was with previously would probably have preferred another as well. In a sense you could say there are five people (maybe more) in the bed every time we get together.
I read a few blogs that suggest this is probably more prevalent than some people are willing to admit to themselves. Any other opinions/confessions?
