I hope you are letting your spouse know your marriage is open. He deserves to sleep with others too

Queer woman married to a man

To those who criticized, I think OP mentioning she is bi is valid. It's not that bi = can't be monogamous, but that being in an open marriage and bi is challenging. As a bi married woman if I wanted to sleep with other men I could do so easily, but it is very difficult to find women yo date.

Their gender just happens to be a non-issue. I kind of hate when people equate bisexuality with being unable to be monogamous. It's a tired cliche, and one of the reasons people are leery of us.
So you need to pose your question as how to manage an open marriage. That's a valid question.

I have no friends who have been in a monogamous marriage for over 20 years. Your question isn't based on being bi; it's based on wanting more than one partner.
