Here's a fun little topic. Describe the weirdest married relationship you've encountered. Here's the one I happened upon last night.
We were at a party for the 4th and struck up a conversation with a couple with whom we've had a passing acquaintance for several years. Over time, the wife had too much to drink.
What did she reveal? That whenever they go on their vacation's, the husband's ex-fiancee goes with them. This has been going on for fifteen years. Naturally curious, I asked, "So, how does that work?" Realizing she had spilled the beans, she clammed up. I guess that means they all share the bed on their trips.
Many many years ago a couple who my husband at the time and I befriended briefly. She was grossly obese and he was a little stick of a thing but they had good personalities and were interesting to be around. One summer evening they hosted a BBQ at their house and the wife invited me into her bedroom to "chat" while she changed clothes and the "boys" enjoyed their cocktails while tending the coals.
Seeing her in the flesh was rather more than I'd bargained for. It was not a pretty sight as she literally had folds upon folds of discolored flesh. When she then started talking about how she and her husband "did it" and suggested that my husband and I join them in swapping partners I was lost for words, muttered something incomprehensible and high-tailed it out of the room and into the yard to join the guys. More guests started to arrive, the evening went off just fine and it was only on the drive home that I was able to talk to my husband and then learned that he'd received the same invitation from the woman's husband while standing around the barbecue. Yikes. We didn't accept any more invitations from them and didn't extend any to them either.
Very weird marriage: The husband works downtown, the wife works from home. Every morning she makes him his breakfast and also packs him 2 healthy snacks. When he gets home from work dinner is waiting. The house is cleaned and the laundry is always done and often they folk the clothes from the dryer together at night when they watch TV. She never has/will cheated on him. Pretty sure he hasn't/won't cheat on her. They spend a lot of time together and laugh a lot. Pretty weird, huh? But we're both happy even if we are boring........
It's interesting to talk with couples who are involved in the swinging lifestyle and other open relationships. You realize there are whole lot of couples who have arrangements that are out of the norm and it works extremely well for their relationship.
Strange to one couple is normal to others.
My contribution is a couple we know where he enjoys videoing his wife with other men. He's a real visual guy who just enjoys the view.
The husband is asexual, the wife is very sexual and has had a live-in boyfriend for many years. They all get along just fine.
I must be missing something here reading your response. Taoism of course has it's attributes and I'm not unfamiliar with its philosophies but your post eludes me.
I think the poster/thread starter was seeking examples of apparently "weird" relationships.
Actually I think her example was quite debatable given her assumption that the vacation with the ex-fiancee included shared sexual favors. Just because the wife chose not to talk about her husband's continued relationship with his ex-fiancee and their shared vacations is so NOT an indication of shared beds and sexual favors.
A couple break up and forge different emotional lives but are still bonded as friends. Is that so bizarre? You enter into a relationship with someone which leads to a commitment as in becoming engaged/affianced. Before you reach the altar you break up for one reason or another (and, would that many more potential alliances broke up before they reached the legal stage!) and you go your separate ways.
Of course in most cases you feel like crap because it feels like failure. But time goes by, both parties meet other people*and why on earth can't they remain friends? The relationship is done and gone but if you were together in the first place then you obviously had something in common with that person and if that person remains single but still appeals to you and the spouse WHY is there the assumption of a shared bed? Surely you know the rule about assumptions?
In my mid 60's I so often feel rather "out there" where current relationship discussions are concerned but if forums such as these were available during my formative years I'm not sure that I would have learned more and made less mistakes. The whole texting, Facebook, Twitter, Tweeter and all else has reduced human relationships so horribly basely. A big ouch for me.
And who will read this post anyway as it's WAY too long! Cheers!

Fifteen years. Wow. Top that for weird marriages.
My ex friend was dating this man and he was married, the wife knew about the mistress and she knew about the wife. He got my ex-friend who was the mistress to go help his wife clean their house because social-services was going to go look at the house. The funny thing is he would put down men who cheated on their wives. He ended up losing his wife, she divorced him, his house, and that was ironic he would make his wife pay the mortgage with her disability check and he wouldnt put her on the house, she stopped paying for it when she moved out. So he eventually lost the house, and his 2 trucks. While he was carrying around his affair for 12 years he paid for everything for my ex-friend over $50,000 a year for her living expenses. My ex-friend didnt do anything, never cleaned the house, rarely cooked, rarely gave him sex, had numerous affair with other men. Not only did he lose everything because he chose to finance a woman who used him for over 10 years, instead of paying off his house and other expenses, he blames the economy. **** by now if he wasnt stupid and thrown away $50,000 the last 12 years and put that money toward his own house, he'd own it by now. Now he is struggling to make ends meet.
As someone here pointed out the other day while presumably putting me down, yes I do personally know quite a few famous celebrities, mostly rock musicians. I have been in their homes and worked for them.
That being said, without mentioning any names, one very strange marriage I am familiar with is one very famous rock star you all know. His wife owns an S&M porno store in a city that is very accepting and fits right in. I may be crazy but that is not my lifestyle. She invited me over. I walk into this 8x8 black room with cameras beaming on me. I was buzzed in and oh geez what I saw......
Anyway in the back they had a stage set up where they made their own movies which were for sale up front as well as available by mail order. There was a small presumably low budget film being shot. I guess the look on my face was misinterpreted as interested rather then confused and stunned.
The rest of the story I can't really say but no I did not join. But yes she told me some more information I really didn't want to hear. What a weird couple. It's all part of the lifestyle of having more money then you know what to do with.

Well give me the boring marriage, lol.
My grandparents had a pretty crazy marriage. He worked on the railroad for years and while he was gone he would write her the loveliest love letters--every single day. They had 2 beautiful and extremely intelligent children--a boy and a girl. But when I knew them, he was retired and was taking care of her b/c she was handicapped (I never knew from what b/c she wouldn't go to a doc) and she couldn't walk and spent her last 10 years in bed. He waited on her hand and foot and none too gracefully either. She's yell for him in her feeble voice, "Daddy!" and he'd yell, "Go drop dead!" Looking back on it though, I"m not sure if they were playing or serious. When she died, his mind was almost completely gone and he had to go to a nursing home and I'm still trying to decide whether they had a good or a bad marriage.

I know a couple who have been married over 40 years and have lived at least 2,000 miles apart for most of that time. They see each other maybe 3 or 4 times a year.
