    Reading your advice makes me feel better ! so yea... a nice gentle step wise plan to follow - at least in essence if not verbatim. not to go back and get all into the panicky waffling. (and i'm just thinking hypothetically or wondering - not in desperation - much calmer :) curious if any...

    latest waffling I told my wife that there's nothing wrong with her wanting to be free... Nothing inherent about that that I think she should ever feel cruddy about. But I also told her that open marriage - as she and I tend to call it, would make her a dreamwoman sent from heaven to any guy...

    Wife want me to find a new partner first My wife seems to want me to go find a new partner first . - which feels much like she doesn't she want to lose me, but is unable to give up the prospect of her seeing her ex once in a while for fun - is my interpretation of that - i'll ask that...

    While the stuff I have told you about his conduct regarding my and me wife is true - and i in no way think it's ok...My wife is attracted to him, and as i've written already my wife has no intention of bringing him to our home - she herself is adamant about that... I also imagine that he...

    Figuring out root cause of jealousy

    Hi , NG SOunds like something that will evolve and the steps towards clarity and the steps are forward towards finding what you need to be fulfilled . I guess the distinction I see here is asking one to make you important vs telling her what you are looking for.. and what won't be...

    I am am confused by that last post. i'm not up on the different emoticons, and don't have strong enough reading glasses... is it my present moment physical and emotional exhaustion speaking or is that a laughing face. sorry i'm hurting a lot... also why will you wait to see whether WH is satisfied?

    re her ex who was her first flame…. Well, she and him have my blessing to make each other happy… I don’t want to water a grudge towards him.. yet I have no interest or obligation to being his friend. Civil if the situation arises? - I have no major problem being in the same room – but living...
