Open relationships

[ThatAussieGuy]

So i told my whole story and people didn't believe me. Let me start slow. Anyone been in an open marriage? How did it go?

I would be interested to hear your story @ThatAussieGuy and I would be of the mindset that OPs are to be believed before they are automatically doubted

however this is Mumsnet, where anything sexual that deviates from procreation and a bit of “maintenance sex” is considered ludicrous and fictional

So good luck - let’s hope you get a better airing this time

Unforfunately I can’t help here. I don’t have an open marriage, I was lucky to find someone who loves sex as much as I do, and they are pretty imaginative with it. That’s not to everyone’s tastes but I’m in my 40s and I can’t imagine giving up on sex anytime soon.

This is all I wanted. Not just sex, but intimacy and monogamy. My wife said she wanted to leave me, then decided she wanted to be open. I talked to women expecting to get nowhree, b/c she always told me I was worthless. I did OK., and I met one woman I got on well with/ so she closed the relationship to stop that, but insisted she had a free pass. She had crazy sex with some guy then it all ended and now we're just pretending everything is fine, but it's obviously not./

That sounds shit. You should split up surely.

Thing is, last year we were open and I learned I am attractive to women. I've had hot girls hit on me. But I just want my marriage to last....
