[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered asking for an open marriage?[/quote]

NP. Of course the "open the marriage" folks found this thread.

Opening the marriage means she gets sex outside the marriage. Hooray. But she wants someone who is interested enough in her as a person to ask her about her day, her thoughts and opinions, share the same interests, even have the same retirement goals and preferences. In other words, she wants an actual relationship day to day. Opening the marriage means sex X times a week or month for her, but if you really believe she'll also find a man who is going to fulfill her other emotional and mental needs, you're nuts. An open marriage won't solve her issues other than lack of sex; she'll still come home to her DH and still think that at home, she's not getting the other attention she wants. And the likelihood that this OP would quickly start to want more emotional effort and interest from another sex partner is immensely high.

You really missed what her priorities are here. [/quote]

PP here. I asked for an open marriage. He said he would prefer a divorce so we got a divorce. I also prefer divorce, but thought maybe an open marriage was an option, but in most cases an open marriage is not really a reasonable option at all. [/quote]
