Man Regrets Asking Wife For Open Marriage Reddit Story

Here’s the story in u/Green-Waterways-1482’s own words: “I feel like a complete idiot here. My wife and I have been married for 19 years. We have one child. Our daughter moved out this summer after she enlisted in the armed forces. I love my wife, but I felt like the spark was gone from our lives. I didn’t want to divorce her, so I proposed an open marriage. She was upset initially, but eventually she agreed.”

“Like I said in the title of my post, I made a mistake. I have learned that just because I wasn’t as attracted to my wife as I was when we got married, it doesn’t mean other men would feel the same. My wife has so many men and dates she doesn’t know what to do with them all. Meanwhile, it’s the opposite for me.”
