It's hard for me to say "it won't work" given the number of long-term relationships I've seen in which it has. But not everyone has seen those.
My aunt, who's pushing 80, said, "Oh yes, we called those open marriages" when I came out to her, with no judgement, but folks weren't generally very open about being in open marriages, so there weren't many examples of it working. One assumed folks were in closed marriages.
