I am amazed that this isn’t common sense to people: open relationships don’t work. I learned this the hard way when my husband left me for another woman he had on the side.

Second fiddle is never the place you want to be in.

I do regret this open relationship sometimes. I end up being second fiddle to her fwb each time, and I still haven't even been with anyone else.
It hurts a lot.

I regret starting an open relationship..
I feel like I'm just dragging my feet instead of getting what i really want: a divorce.

I agreed to an open relationship, but it turns out that I can't bear the idea of her with another man. Now she's mad that I am being controlling and jealous. I feel like the idea alone is ruining us...

Open relationship ruined me and my ex's whole relationship. He wasn't fully on board. However, I personally feel as if humans weren't meant to just have 1 sexual partner. I also do not link love with sex.

It's complicated.

Recently opened our marriage. Now my husband keeps comparing himself to my boyfriend. I never wanted that. I don't compare myself to his girlfriends. I'm thinking this was maybe a bad idea...
