I agree with this. Every couple and every relationship is different. We live in a time when the "traditional" ideas of relationships no longer apply.
I have non-hobby friends who consider themselves "poly" and may be in a relationship but play with others, or I even know 2 people (a guy and a girl) who have a 3rd "girlfriend" that lives with them.
It's not for everyone, but they are happy, so I don't judge. There are all kinds of lifestyles, and therefore relationship styles, out there.
Now, for myself; I am single and do not currently desire to be in a relationship. I enjoy being single and having the freedom to provide and/or fuck whomever I chose, in my personal life.
If I ever do get to the point where I am ready for a relationship again, or do happen to meet the right person, then I will definitely retire, if I wasn't already. And I've decided that I won't tell my new partner about this part of my life either. If I quit then it is none of his business and holds no bearing on our relationship.
However, as said, everyone is different and every couple is different. I think you just need to do some serious soul searching and decided for yourself, if her coming back to this is something you can handle and will be comfortable with.
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says or does. It is all about your personal comfort level.
