Are you accepting of open relationships?

My husband of 30 years and I are now discussing and excepting the idea of an open relationship. We have been best friends this whole time, but agree that it's time for a little bit of change. We are both nervous, but excited. I have someone I've been becoming close with, and he knows that. I think he has someone in mind as well.

Whatever floats your boat but I don’t know why you’d even bother getting married if you weren’t planning to give your all to that one person. When I truly love someone, they get all of me and I get all of them.

Why marry and continue seeing other people? I not get it.

I don't judge. It's good you're on the same page. I'd be willing to try it sexually but romantically it would bother me

Its nobodies else's buisness, sucks when people think it is and judge you, at least your not alone though... You've got a wee support group going on there so you'll be sweet

Each to their own. It’s not something I would want.

That sounds very complicated. Not my cup of tea.

If it works for you both then that's what matters.

Wife and I have been married for 14 years.
We have been swingers for over 7 years
We have had an open marriage for over 4 years.

People need to understand that there is a difference between sharing your body and sharing your heart mind and soul....Nobody shares those but each other.
As long as it is not open to fill in a void of something missing in the marriage.

Communication is key and knowing that we can stop at any time and know we still have an amazing marriage makes it work.

For us a Swing lifestyle is about just being realistic and making expectations attainable. Sex is only an aspect, a fraction of a marriage/relationship. It shouldn't pull so much power. Treating it with respect but with liberal restraints can create a very healthy sexual life.

I wouldnt judge people. But im territorial as most are.

I mean, I accept it, but I wouldn't go into a relationship like that suddenly with the person I'm already in a relationship with, if that makes sense. Like, having it open would need to be something that's discussed before the relationship has already begun, at least for me.

But I accept whatever other people do. I honestly could care less.

It's none of my business.

Nope.

Each couple chooses their kind of relationship.

It´s not and would not be the kind of relationship to be choosen or even think to accept for myself.

But that´s me.

I'm accepting of others having them.. No problem!
But I'm more interested in me just being with one man..
I was never good at sharing!
😉

This isn't real... its just a fantasy... there's is absolutely no way that two people would be attracted to me

Sure. There are all different kinds of ways to express love and maintain healthy relationships.

I don't think i'm built for that tbh. Too many conflicting emotions.

No
