My wife and I actually met because of this kind of thing. Not only that, but the relationship I was in before meeting her ended because my partner at the time decided that she wanted an open relationship exactly long enough to get involved with one of my friends and then leave me for him.
Her late spouse did the whole forced poly/open relationship crap and I was one of the people they started talking to. It’s actually seeing how her ex treated me that let her finally realize she was in an abusive marriage and put her foot down and leave. We’ve been together 10 years now, married for almost 8.

That’s kind of awesome.
