[quote=SenecaSky]I also have an open marriage, and we're loving it, but before we opened, we discovered each others love language. Mine is Words of Affirmation and his is Touch. We weren't feeling loved by each other because I didn't know sex is an important way he feels loved and he didn't know that I wasn't just nagging when I told him I'd like him to ask me about my day when he comes home. Once we started exploring this, things improved dramatically. The book is called The Five Love Languages.

Open marriage doesn't have to be gross. There are many ways of connecting and finding love than having other sexual relationships. You could check into polyamory - but it sounds like he may not go for the idea. I personally like the idea of treating each other as though you're roommates and see how that goes. Down the road maybe you both will be more open to opening up? Otherwise, you're staying together for a noble cause, but ending up in misery with each other. If you believe you have one life here on earth, then think seriously about how you want to spend it. [/quote]
