PolyGone,
Thanks for commenting on my thread. I think you and I are in similar situations. We have a committed partner, but want more than we are getting the in the relationship.
My first comment is you have to repair your relationship with your wife if you ever want to move forward with an open relationship. Otherwise it will never work. It takes time and efforts by both parties. If she isn't willing to put in the work, you can't do it alone.
On the other hand, what would she get out of you having an open relationship. There has to be something there for her of value for her to put the energy and time necessary to fix your marriage or make it better.
I am fighting for our relationship right now. Its pretty dicey right now, we may fail, or succeed. The story remains unfinished.
I am so thankful I found this community, lots of good caring people here who want to help.
Good luck.
