Hi,
I am a 43 year old guy that has been married to a wonderful lady for 20 years. We love each other very much, but each of us have had short term affairs during extended absences from each other. We both were hurt, but we are also realists. We understand that we can't provide everything each other needs; emotionally and sexually. My wife recently approached me about having an open marriage. I have to admit, I didn't like the idea while we were having the conversation; however, the more I thought about it, the more I get used to the idea.
I guess the bottom line is that I am reluctant to go forward with the proposition because of jealousy, and the proposition of being hurt. Does anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks.
