Bonnie Bartlett Daniels admits that “she never felt guilty” about the affairs during her open marriage to ‘Boy Meets World’ actor William Daniels because she “never felt tied to fidelity” and “neither did Bill.”

, “I guess it was a little bit of an open marriage at first, but that was very painful. That didn’t work well. And it was a time when people were doing that. It was at a time in New York when there was a lot of sex and a lot of people doing all kinds of things, you know—very free.” She continued, “But I don’t know if there was a lack of commitment a little bit, and that’s not good. So there was a lot of pain connected with any transgression, with any extramarital thing.

In her new book, Daniels also admits that “she never felt guilty” about the affairs she had “because I never felt tied to fidelity, and neither did Bill.” She goes on to confess to having “an affair that lasted a few months” with another actor in 1959. But by the early 1970s, her husband's affair with a New York-based producer left her so “devastated” it completely changed her perspective on how their marriage should operate.

The two were eventually able to overcome these obstacles and learn to embrace the ever-evolving nature of their relationship over these past 72 years. Daniels told the outlet, “Life is all about solving problems. We had a very good relationship, [but] Bill was an angry young man, a very angry young man. And that was tough…Bill always said, ‘We had three different marriages.’ We've been together for so long, more than 70 years–a long time.

In retrospect, Daniels admits she's even a little grateful for all of the tough times they've had to experience because “It was something we had to go through because we never went through it,” she explained. “When we got together, I was 18. Bill was my first boyfriend…We just had to go through all that and still, we loved each other very much and always have. [We] have always been there for each other.

If she was in an open marriage, why should she feel guilty? Each to their own.
