[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, youbare wrong. He cheated after the sex was dead. The marriage is dead because rhe op will not own up to her role in the relationship. [/quote]

You have no reason to think that he is even interested in OP sleeping with other men. He is ten years older than her maybe she isn’t interested in sec because her husband is old. Or are you of the impression an open marriage should just be open for the men?[/quote]

+1 to your IDing the inherent sexism in the description of open marriage.  In negotiating for an open marriage OP's sexual needs have to be as important and as fulfilled as her DH's, which has clearly never been the case in her marriage otherwise she wouldn't be so disinterested.

For example, my sexual need is for monogamy. Only within monogamous sex am I able to have the securing, trusting and intimate foundation I need to experience sexual fulfillment.  For me, an open marriage meant that DH and I would stop sleeping with each other and seek sexual satisfaction outside the marriage but remain committed to being life family partners.  For DH, open marriage meant that he would be able to sleep with me and with women outside the marriage; he didn't like the idea that I also would be able to sleep with other people.
