Open Relationships

Standing on my keyboard in Woodstock Cheering!
Well said!

 

I havn't been here in awhile but this is so interesting to me. I really believe that you have to be honest and use communication always. You have to be the type of person who doesn't care what other people think. I am there now. I wasn't at first and was trying to find people to accept what I was thinking. There aren't very many out there who understand what is going on in situations like this. I have found that I don't care what people think anymore. I am happy with myself and what my husband and his girlfriend have. It isn't all about sex like everyone seems to believe. I have learned that over this past year. We are very happy with our arrangment. He goes to work and has her there and then I have him from the time he comes home till the time he leaves for work and weekends. They have never spent the night together or taken vacations. She likes what she has with him. It all works. It's not that we are competing with one another either. He loves me for who I am and her for who she is. It is only difficult if you make it that way. To answer someone from awhile ago...yes, I could find someone for myself. Do I want to? No, my husband is everything that I need and want. I love him more now than I did when we married. It is a deeper love now because we can be who we want without feeling any kind of guilt. You can love more than one person at a time. I am living it.

 

I would love to try an open relationship - I was discussing this the other day and have always been of the view that I wouldn't suffer from sexual jealousy as long as the lines of communication were always kept open and clear and that no dishonesty was ever engaged in.

It's actually a theory of mine that mankind is not meant for monogamous relationships and that we are made to have more than one mate at any one time.

 

Mary,
What you said is exactly how it should and has to be. Open communication and honesty is the key. Mine is a very long story about how I got here but I find that this is the way we should be. The way we should live our lives. My husband has the ability to take care of us both-not everyone can do that. I love the feeling I get when I know they are together even if it is just talking.
You should give it a try.

 

I think that's very kool and it's time for you to go have some fun too.
Why don't you come up to Woodstock for a weekend?

 

Leave your husband home.

 

I am wanting to feel what my husband has in the way of it all being new and exciting. I just have to let myself get there. I am, in reality, a very shy person but part of me wants to experience things. To have fun with life and actually live it. I feel I have missed out on so much. It's time that I open up and "let my hair down". My husband tells me that he is all for me experiencing another man. Who knows what is around the next corner.
