If it is for company, are you perhaps slightly dissatisfied with your marriage and compatibility?
Not necessarily. No one person is capable of being "the one" in every way possible to another. That is a very big lie that society propagates today. Take for instance, my husband. Awesome guy, I married him for a reason, but my friend M. and I can talk for hours about psychology (both of us seniors in a psych major BA). This doesn't diminish my relationship with my husband; he simply is not a psych major. I can't have a deep, thought provoking conversation of the nature of humanity's seemingly self hatred of being an animal in a psychological context with him. Though full disclosure M. and I are in a relationship, as my husband and I's marriage is open, and so is M's relationship. But even if M. and I weren't in a relationship, and just were friends, his and I's chats would still be just as awesome and mind expanding, and over beers at the pub like they used instead of in bed like they are now. Our peer to peer chats in no way diminish my husband's and I's chats on other things. M. simply fulfills a niche role within my life my husband has no hope of ever achieving, years of psych classes and a natural curiosity towards the human mind.
