[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently I happened to run into an ex BF from many many years ago. Says his wife won’t have sex anymore. Apparently when he tries to initiate, she says “find someone else!”

He wants to cheat on her. With me. I said he should just ask for an open marriage esp since she told him to find someone else, but he won’t. He has had an affair in the past. His wife suspected it but he didn’t ever admit it.

I called him a coward for not discussing the possibility of an open marriage with his wife.  He says he isn’t a coward. I said he’s a cheater and he responds that I don’t understand his situation and that I shouldn’t be so judgemental by using the word cheater. What an a**hole. 
He kept making overtures towards me. Finally  I ghosted him.

Men in unhappy marriages who “can’t” divorce: are you too cowardly to ask for an open marriage?
Why do you sneak around and cheat instead of being honest and asking to open up the marriage? Your lines “I don’t want to hurt her” “you don’t understand my situation” are BS.  Why can’t you handle the problem in an emotionally mature way?

Yes, cheaters like this are cowards. That’s the whole point. He’s just telling you crap, btw. He’s likely still having sex with his wife. He just wants to sleep with you too. [/quote]

If that were the case, wouldn't he just tell OP that he had asked and received permission?  It's kind of a confusing issue anyway, as I'm not sure how else to interpret "find someone else" other than as consent to an open relationship. [/quote]
