Maybe it's just me, but when I hear of an open marriage I understand it's two consenting adults who agree to this however, I still have to wonder if one of the spouses sacrifices their beliefs a little to appease the other.
I always think, one person will end up hurt otherwise more people would do this. I know there's lots of folks in these relationships, but if the open marriage was more JB's instigation, I wonder how much SB really believed this worked for both of them and for how long? Something's gotta give.
This leads me to question if JB had someone on the side, who started developing deep feelings for JB, would that person have a motive to get Shannon out of the picture? Would another woman have lured Shannon out to talk (or duke it out) that night and a confrontation occurred that went awry?
this might give some insight into how her arrangement started and if your theory might hold water as yo a former wanting to have a "chat". this is SB's very first reddit post;

Mutual friends Bash my Boy Friend
submitted 3 years ago by Shanswer
I started Hanging out with a group of people, and things kicked off fairly well. One person in particular caught my eye (let's call him Mr. Man), but he was living with his girlfriend at the time. The person who brought me into the group (lets call him Fanboy) confessed with his girlfriend that they wanted to have a threesome with me but I turned them down.
A few months later Mr. Man broke it off with his girlfriend of 5 years, and we ended up hooking up only a few days later. Fanboy and his girlfriend gave us both hell over it because Mr. Man has a reputation amongst the group for braking things off, finding another girl for a few months, then going right back to her even though he says he wont.
It's been about a month and a half sense we started dating, and things are going very well. He treats me better than any guy I've ever bin with, and he'll tell me anything about his previous relationships that I ask. I normally wouldn't think there would be anything to be concerned about, But Fanboy and His girlfriend still give me crap; saying that I have Bad taste in men, and that we'll be sorry when the group brakes up because of us. They also say that I'm too young to know any better, and that he wouldn't be so nice to me if we weren't having sex.
We are taking things at a steady pace, and I dont see any reason to brake up with him unless he actually does something wrong, but do I have the right to tell my friends to shut the hell up?
additional info:
I'm 22, Mr. Man is 25, and Fanboy is 27.
