Messed up situation...

That boat has sailed. He needs to stay away. Period

Unless no period comes this month, than OP might get really having to spend the next 18 years entertaining this fling....
Considering half my shags are men married to women... I'd say that makes me an expert :whistling:

There are married men, then there are married men that's in the closet, now I know you're assuming that I'm talking about @HunterNW but I could also be talking about @Flanders as well.

Wtf is @Flanders?

And does he bend?
 
When were they unfaithful?

They had open communications and an agreement and they still do.

Unfaithful would have been going behind someone’s back without the other party knowing.

Were you at their wedding? How do you know what they agreed?
Sorry I’m going on the premise that marriage means some kind of commitment to be with one person, love one person, be intimate with one person. Not just a joke and a drunk evening followed by communication that ultimately negates the point of getting married in the first place.
 
We've all had covid dude
Apparently only the uggos.
TBF once you have a partner and kids and a job, I cannot fathom where people find the time for infidelity. I can barely find the time to angrily shake a stick at the hub, never mind pursue an actual whole human being for sex.
This what I want to know as well, I barely have time to go for a fckng beer between all the **** we have to take the kids to, when do these people get time to cheat and do this kind of things.
 
The other girl had the fantasy that there would be something more and you might eventually leave your wife for her.(even though that's not true) that what most side chicks think. "Yes you are married but you love them more so it is only a matter of time)

When you clearly picked your wife by ending it when your wife complained you killed that fantasy.

You won't be able to restart it.
He's finished. He won't be able to get her out of his head but it's all gone now.

Do not mention me in the same sentence as closet/gay/married.

Marriage is about making an agreement with certain terms and conditions and sticking to it.

Those terms and conditions vary vastly from one couple to another, from one continent or culture to another and every religion or non-religion.

Just because it doesn’t fit your specific criterial doesn’t make it unfaithful.
 
Reading trough the thread, I feel sorry for the OP. Seems like the 'classical open relationship" - wife gets to have fun while he is the ATM/safe haven.

If the OP was also active like the wife in scoring with other people, it seems the wifey would be the one having issues with their relationship (as shown in his post).

(and before Sauron or Slinkymike shat their pants, I have no problem with people being in open relationships, however from my observations it always seems the guy gets the short end of the stick at the end of the day.)
 
This is not a sad attempt at a Friday thread and I am know I probably wont get any good advice here or maybe I will but I probably wont listen to it...
SO I guess this is maybe just a way to get it off of my chest...
My wife and I have been in an open relationship for the past 16 year.... My wife is a good looking, outgoing blonde and always gets alot of attention from guys so this mostly meant that she saw other guys, I never really saw other women, mainly cause I am just to shy and introverted that I come across as grumpy/ strict whatever...
a Couple of years ago a young lady started working at the company I was working for at the time and I immediately noticed her and was attracted to her, but I kept it extremely professional. The company closed down last year and we were all retrenched.
Somewhere around early February I accidentally sent her a message, it was one of those "asfjalgdow" messages that gets sent when you forget to lock your phone before putting it in your pocket. I saw it before she did and deleted it.
She noticed that I sent her a message and enquired about it. We started chatting and she mentioned that she was scared of me when we were working together but that she was always attracted to me... We chatted and eventually met one evening, I picked her up and took her out...
We had an amazing evening and ended up making out and it went all the way...
I took her home and went home and since my wife and I have always been honest to each other about everything, I told her exactly what happened and she seemed fine with it.
Fast forward to the following night my wife tells me that she wants to speak to me before bedtime, we were at a family member's party so couldn't really talk at that stage.
Later that night my wife confessed that she saw a message in which the "other girl" said that she misses me already and that I replied "Same here" and she felt very uncomfortable about it and thinks that we must end it, but that she also feels guilty for having seen so many other men over the years and now that I am seeing my first one, she can not accept it.
I told her, that our relationship is by far the most important and suggested that we then stop seeing other people as the easiest way to resolve the issue.
I sent the "other girl" a message explaining the situation and we went to sleep.
The following day my wife and I had a "sober" conversation about it and we decided to after all continue with the open relationship.
I contacted the "other girl" and informed her about it and although she was very upset, we continued to chat and arranged to meet the following week...
She cancelled at the last minute....
After that she cancelled another planned meeting and had excuses for another proposed meeting...
In the beginning she used to be the one to send texts first, then later she would only send after I sent something and take ages to reply.
I sent her a text to say that I noticed that she has lost interest and I just wanted to make it clear that I have no hard feelings and understand perfectly. She replied that she was not feeling well and that was the reason for her not sending me texts and that she does not want to end what we have...
We chatted a bit after that and I decided not to send her anything the following day to see whether she will say anything....
It has been more than a week now and not a single word....
I really like this girl, in fact I am infatuated with her. She is amazing, good looking and an awesome personality and I would love to continue things with her, but I think that our fling might have just been an interracial fantasy being fulfilled and that she is now over it... I cant get her out of my head... It might be that she (being young and good looking) just boosted my ego and that is why I can not just let it go.... Is she a "want" or a "need"? I dont know, I just know I miss her....

Your last paragraph proves that you should not be pursuing it further if you still want to be with your wife. You should really not be catching feelings at all for anyone you hookup with if you're in an open relationship. See it as having fun like playing a game with a friend, but you're both naked, consenting adults. It shouldn't be anything more than that.
 
Easy to think why divorce rate is low. you ge tto shag whoever you want, that is main reason normal people divorce.
Put it like this Chris ol' chap. She is shagging whoever she wants, and you give her a nice house, car, security and companionship. and th eone time you try it she moans about it. open your eyes man!!!

I hope he used protection with her. There are worst things than a 18+ year commitment with a kid
