My wife and I have been married for 20 years. As of four weeks ago we have been having some really intimate talks about our relationship. We got married young and had kids young. My wife expressed to me that she was bi-curious as a young teen and never really had the opportunity to explore that part of herself. She brought up to me that she would like to be free to explore connecting with other females and potentially having a physical relationship.
I have been seeing a therapist specializing in polyamory/open marriages the past 3 weeks as I want to make sure our relationship is on completely solid ground before moving forward. My wife is seeing a different therapist to get help processing some traumatic events from her childhood.
I am keeping an open mind and want to give my full effort to find out if this is something that could work in our marriage. I would like to know if it is ok for me to set one boundary as her having meetups and sex with other women only, no men? Is this a realistic boundary? Is it common at all? I may feel differently as I continue therapy or over time in regards to her seeing other men but for right now that is what I feel comfortable with. Currently I have no plans to seek a connection/relationship myself.
