Finance wants me to sleep with another man

Melly1991 · 22/02/2024 21:12

Title says it all really. Could do with some advice on this. It’s been going on for years. He has never been able to drop it.

I honestly am in two minds. He has said try it and see if we like it, and we can do it again. If not we never have to do it again. Why should I sacrifice something like this for him? He even mentioned introducing another couple a few times, that’s one thing I could never see him with another woman. I’ve said this a few times but he still mentions it sometimes but he has agreed for me to be with a man first and he is desperate to watch in the same room.

I don’t know whether I should go through with this unless I am 100%? Should he not be worshiping my body for himself and not someone else? We have been together 13 years but our sex life has honestly been amazing, I’ve never had any concerns. We are getting married early next year.

It’s to a point he won’t stop asking me, he won’t ask me to my face and he gets awkward when we talk about it directly but he will talk about it over text (not phone call). He will text me when I’m downstairs and he’s upstairs in bed waiting for me. He will also text me when he’s at work to see my response.

I honestly don’t know what to do. I wish he would drop it but he won’t and to be honest I’m concerned now we don’t have the same sex drive anymore/ want the same things?

He's not listening to you.
He's not accepting your right to say no.
He does not respect you.

Why would you marry a man that refuses to listen to you? That's not love.

I haven't actually sat him down and said NO. Tonight we will be having that convo and I'll see the outcome.

You haven’t said yes despite the fact he’s asked multiple times.

That should be enough

Melly1991 · 22/02/2024 21:15

@Nousernamesleftatall am I wrong for causing confusion because I said I wasn't 100% off the idea? But if I'm not 100% surely that's enough?

If you haven’t shut the idea down to him then he may think you might be up for it or have you very clearly said no I don’t want to do it? If you’ve told him you’re not 100% off the idea that’s leaving the door open to it hence why he keeps asking. Do not do something that you are not 100% on but if you don’t want it then tell him no and you don’t want to hear no more about it

ChangeAgain2 · 22/02/2024 21:26

I'm very open minded about sex and relationships. I think as long as all parties are comfortable and consenting it's all cool. However, you're not comfortable or consenting and he's trying to badger you into submissions. Tell him no and be clear it's never going to happen. Don't do anything your not 100% about. Ever. If he brings it up again I'd LTB. He cares more about his own sexual pleasure than you.

NotbloodyGivingupYet · 22/02/2024 21:27

I wouldn't assume that he isn't the jealous type. Because this would all be on his terms.
Might have a different reaction if you told him you'd found someone you really fancied for the, um, job but you'd have to try him out privately, one to one, first. To make sure you enjoyed it 😁

This.

Over and over and over again.

And, like others, I suspect that ultimately, this is about HIM being "allowed" to sleep with other women.
And he probably is already

NotbloodyGivingupYet · 22/02/2024 21:30

To be clear, in reality I'd be telling him to piss off.

MinervatheGreat · 22/02/2024 21:30

He sees you as a commodity for his warped desire.

I suggest you do not marry him.

It all sounds so coercive, and for sure, this will not be the end of the matter. Marriage won’t make it go away.
I reckon you’ll be back here in a few years time with a tale of woe.

Whilst your loving family look on, all happy and smiling for you, do not make vows with such a creep.

@YetMoreNewBeginnings that's what I thought

Not 100% and not 100% yes ..

@Secondstart1001 I'm also too jealous, he knows I am the jealous type. Just fortunately for me he isn't the jealous type clearly, at all..?

Oh, I’d bet my house and all it’s contents if you met a bloke you really fancied, had hot sex and told him afterwards he be jealous alright.
If you agree to do this just once ( putting aside the fact you obviously don’t really want to ) he will never ever stop going on at you to do it again.
This is not a man to marry, sorry OP. He’s vile.

Pataya · 22/02/2024 21:33

End it with him.

TheWildWest · 22/02/2024 21:34

He sounds absolutely pathetic, why are you involved with this seedy lowlife ?

candycane222 · 22/02/2024 21:35

I agree with what's been said above about the likelihood of him pushing this idea as a green light for sleeping with someone else himself - it sounds like hes absolutely obsessed, and that this would mean more to him than the sex you and he have together. Ugh.

Also he is a sex pest. Who is pestering you for a very odd kind of sex, but even if it was for something you liked the idea of but not this minute, the pestering would be inexcusable.

NotaCoolMum · 22/02/2024 21:35

Your fiancé is a vile twat. is it possible to hate someone you’ve never met? Because I hate your fiancé. PLEASE don’t marry this loser. This is NOT the man you want to spend the rest of your life with!

Cascais · 22/02/2024 21:36

No

LadyKenya · 22/02/2024 21:27

she has. She may not have said the words, but it’s very clear she’s not into it.

Any man with any clue about the swinging world knows that if she’s not saying yes then she’s saying no.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 22/02/2024 21:38

Melly1991 · 22/02/2024 21:31

@YetMoreNewBeginnings that's what I thought

That should be enough.

Ask yourself this - if he loves you why is he pushing something you’re clearly not comfortable with?

Hes not mentioned it, then brought it up again two years later to see what you think… he’s being pushy about it despite your obvious discomfort.

Rec0veringAcademic · 22/02/2024 21:39

Bin.

Plan5studentloanSLAVERY · 22/02/2024 21:41

Does he want to be involved with the man too sexually?

Bpickle1 · 22/02/2024 21:43

I would report to HR that’s not on. They need to refresh their online training

Plan5studentloanSLAVERY · 22/02/2024 21:47

@Bpickle1 😂 I had to reread the post after your comment I thought I had commented inappropriately!

Proudwomantoday · 22/02/2024 21:52

Have you no self respect. Are you that desperate for a man.
It's your body You and only you decide who to sleep with.

phobiaofsocialmedia · 22/02/2024 21:56

Been an account for years now - finance dep get blamed for bloody everything.
