Hi all,
I posted in the North America section first, then decided it’d be good to post an intro here.
Hubby and I have been married almost a decade in a monogamous relationship though we’ve talked lots about other options over the years. I’m not comfortable with sharing too many revealing details about us and our family just yet because our circle and especially our jobs just don’t mesh with this lifestyle. We will forever be closeted except to very few highly trusted friends.
I’m mid 30’s he’s early 40’s and currently I’ve had a limited and boundaried relationship with a male friend who has been strictly a platonic friend for a long time, turned kind of spicy with very set boundaries as of recently. He is married as well and his wife is well aware and accepting. She and I have talked, had a girls night, and follow each other on social media, but aren’t bonded friends in real life. I don’t know that we will be.
With the above described plunge, hubby is feeling understandably confused/envious/jealous, kind of a mix of all while still being very open in communicating his feelings and us working through what is and is not okay. We are A-okay with each other and extremely connected.
ETA: Hubby is exploring the thought of openness for himself/us... not sure how to define it yet. Not a fan of labels anyway. The thought of him having a gf is a definite thing we’re interested in, just feeling this thing out as we go.
