Hi! I was married over 25 years when the discovery of husbands affair caused us to move 200 miles apart. Very painful and ugly. Fast forward 6 years- still married, we have become good friends, neither of us has been willing to end our relationship, see each other a few times a month - talk almost every day, spend holidays together, care about each other, etc as best I can tell we have a living apart together relationship.
Some intimacy but not a lot involved. More like best friends.
The other day he told me he wants to date other women and I can do the same. Wanted to be open about this to avoid any hurt or guilt , I have not tried to control his personal life anyways in the last several years nor asked for or about it as far as others women are concerned.
He wants this to be a don't ask - don't tell arrangement and promises to be safe. I pretty much feel I can deal with that emotionally now.
Any advice is appreciated?? I guess this is than a poly lifestyle? Not even sure .
