[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my husband. He is the only person I've ever felt like I could be completely honest with. [b]And I don't think that either of us having relationships (physical or otherwise - it's not like my platonic friendships aren't relationships in their own way) with other people would take away from that.[/b] But it's a scary thing to consider as well. [/quote]

That is my thinking on this as well but you will run into difficult, complicated emotions. [b]No one is above jealousy and feeling territorial, feelings of abandonment.[/b] We are human and you marriage will be challenged. Nevertheless, for DH and for me, it is worth it.[/quote]

I think this is my biggest fear. I would want to know that we would always be each otner's #1. But it also seems unfair to become involved with someone else and from the outset tell them that they were inferior. [/quote]

I don't consider my other relationships inferior. I also don't like to consider myself #1. I prefer to envision our other relationships as unique and special in their own way. DH and I have tons of history together. We share children, a house, pets, stability. In my other relationships, I have new relationship energy, a different type of passion, fun, excitement. Our time together is exciting. There is plenty of room for jealousy and envy on both sides. It takes a lot of effort to keep things balanced. The main thing is to make sure your spouse always feels treasured.

I am not trying to sell you on this. I do not think it is for everyone but I do think it can be a great thing for some. [/quote]
