My wife is seeing 2 other guys and initially she encouraged me to start dating too! However, she has started putting more and more conditions, specifically an OVP and she starts bitching about anyone I tell her I'm seeing, not just to me but to our friends as well (we are not 'out' as a poly...

Just an update... Still not much progress, although my wife said she would not be happy about me having sex with someone else. She thinks she is enough for me and doesn't understand why I would need anyone else. She uses her other relationships to remind me that she has others who would be...
