I was the wife who asked to see other men. Anyone else?
Seems like every story I read starts with the husband wanting to open the relationship. I feel like I’m the opposite.
I was the one who brought up ENM because I wanted the freedom to connect with other men while still loving and being committed to my husband. That conversation was way more nerve-racking than I expected, but it ended up opening the door to a lot of honest communication.
I’m curious… how many other women here were the ones who asked first?
Did your partner surprise you with how they handled it? Were you worried they’d take it the wrong way? And did actually dating other men turn out to be what you expected, or was the reality completely different?
Would love to hear from other women who made the first move on this. Feels like our perspective gets talked about less.
