[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH, going to an open marriage saved my marriage.

Sex is difficult for me due to some physical and emotional issues. So allowing him to outsource that has removed the resentment of him not getting it and the resentment of him always asking me for it.

We have a strong marraige despite that issue. [/quote]

So when you agreed to an open marriage, did you stop working on your physical and emotional issues?[/quote]

Not much I can do about the physical stuff.

A lot of my emotional baggage stemmed from the fact that I was unable to have sex with my DH in the way that I wanted. Despite his undying support, I felt guilt and that permeated the rest of our marriage.  I have seen therapists for years - but taking sex off the table has eased my guilt and decreased the resentment. [/quote]

So how is your marriage stronger than your friendships with other men if you're not having sex with your husband? I have many close male friendships but the physical intimacy is one of the major differences.[/quote]
