So we’re not doing an open marriage. I told her I can’t do it and we’ve both agreed to drop the discussion and focus on our marriage and family. She says that she was not forcing me into an open relationship and that she can stay true to me but she just wanted to be honest with me and admit that she... |

I'm thinking about letting her know about this and letting her contribute her view. She knows I look at Wrong Planet so it's likely she'll find this on her own if she checks in the next few days. |

She did cheat on me once a year ago when we were going through a difficult time. I didn't realize that it was so difficult that it warranted cheating but she says she felt completely unloved by me at the time. She's also tried cheating at other times in the past but was turned down by the guy. So s... |

So she's not monogamous so if I stay with her I'm in an open marriage regardless if i say yes or no to it. So in other words, asking you was just a polite formality. To relieve her of the guilt for something she's probably going to do anyway. That strikes me as the real issue: it's going to be on h... |

I think you need to find out how serious she is about it. Just mentioning a preference doesnt mean it's a deal breaker for your marriage. Maybe she's content with the fantasy of it. When I was in my 20s I was approached by maybe 4-5 different couples to be a third wheel for a night. You'd be surpri... |

If you don't think you'll like it then you probably won't. I know personally the thought of my man with another woman makes me sick and breaks my heart. Okay so since some folks think that its admirable that she discussed it with you, what happens if you say no? What if you say let's try to work on... |

Move to Utah? Why would any man want more than one wife? One is hard enough  |

Thanks for all of the replies. I do appreciate that she’s being honest with me about her needs and I feel that show’s her commitment towards me as it would be much easier for her to just cheat on me. What she is proposing is an open marriage for both of us not in the sense that we’re swingers and ac... |

I’m a 41 year old father of two and I suspect I have Aspergers but I have not been diagnosed. Recently my wife proposed that we have an open marriage. She’s an NT and very flirty and she says she feels guilty about her sexual attraction to other men. She thinks that if we have an open marriage that ... |
