I have been with my husband since I was in high school (almost 15 years ago). We're very happy and blessed. We've never separated but we do have arguments from time to time. You would think that my family and friends would happy for me but instead they criticize our relationship.
My husband and I have an open relationship. The only time we can see other people is in our own house, and the other person has to know that it's just a thing. This is what works for us, so why is everyone so bothered about it? It's not their relationship or marriage.
Usually I wouldn't care about what people think, but they have stopped visiting us and inviting us to functions. I see their pictures on Facebook of family events, and we don't get invited. It's starting to take a toll on us. Of course we miss spending time with our family and friends. What do you think we should do?
Signed,

Dear Open,
All of your friends and family have deserted you? Are you sure you're telling the entire story? 😕
In any case, I think your mistake was allowing your friends and family into your intimate affairs. What you and your husband do is your business - remember that. Nobody can tell you how to live your life, and you certainly shouldn't begin to consider allowing that. So, learn to live without those who cannot look past things that do not concern them.
It's ridiculous that your friends and family have excluded you from group gatherings because of how you and your husband choose to live. You're not committing any crimes, you're not hurting anyone so, gather some new friends and continue to be happy with your husband. And of course, be safe when entertaining your guests!
Also, not to fret, the genuine friends and family members will come around sooner or later.
Walk good,

Stop telling ppl ur business. Not everyone is going to be down for your lifestyle and you should have known that. If it works for you, it works for you. Keep it to yourself. That is all. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteThat's something you don't tell your family. Tell all the freaky people, but not people in your family.What you can do now is to tell your family that that open marriage was a mistake and now you're back to normal
ReplyDeleteFamily and so called friends too damn judgemental and hypocrite. What happened to unconditional love ? Chuuuupsss...mean while they closet full of skeletons.
ReplyDeleteAn open marriage is the business of you and your mate. No one else. Not even the kids should know. Be discreet
