[quote=Anonymous]Found out my DH has been cheating on me for about 6 months.  We angry at first until I realized I don’t even actually care.  I’m not happy he hid it from me but otherwise I don’t feel any jealousy or betrayal.

Our relationship has been pretty much platonic for the past decade.  We got married very young and has our kids pretty quickly.  Last time we had sex was when we conceived our now 6-year-old and we were drunk when that happened anyways.

Neither of us ever initiated sex much before and after his birth we rarely even kissed.  I half thought my husband was asexual until finding out about the affair and part of me is like, “good for him.”   If he wants a sexual or romantic relationship he deserves it.  I love and adore my husband.  He’s a great man, a great father and a great person to coexist with, honestly.

We kind of discussed it and both are on the same page.  Neither of us want to break up our household unit.  We’re happy living in our house together and raising our kids together.  We like our financial situation as a married couple as well.

Has anyone ever successfully had an open marriage where you aren’t intimate with your spouse?  Basically we exist as a married couple, we raise our kids, I do his laundry, he pays the bills, we take turns cooking and cleaning but we can finally just admit the intimate/romantic part of our relationship doesn’t exist and seek that elsewhere?

I know this would involve a lot of communication and some major rules (everything is done outside the house, no third parties around our kids etc…). But if he wants to spend an extra hour after work having sex with his attractive coworker and she’s aware of the situation have at it.  Whatever makes you happy.  I’m kind of excited at the prospect of exploring my sexuality for myself in all honestly.  I think I’ve repressed the fact that I’m a lesbian for forever and now can kind of admit it.

Thoughts?    [/quote]
