Encourage your wife to date and find out she a hoe brehs:mjgrin:


My wife has a boyfriend


I originally posted this in Iorek's thread, bit I didn't want to unintentionally take any attention away from his current ongoing situation:


Honestly, I kind of wish my wife had just cheated on me. I don't think I'd be as down on myself as I currently am if that were what happened.

Short rundown of my situation:

Back in October, my sister found out her husband had been cheating on her almost the entire time. I mean, he's a huge prick, so that wasn't really a big surprise to any of us. She immediately filed for divorce and he's been acting out since, which is really only helping her case.

Anyway, after we found out about that, my wife started conversing with me about what it would be like to be with somebody else. I totally get that even considering this after what had literally just happened with my sister is a flashing red flag. Me, being the accommodating idiot that I am, actively encouraged her to find out. She jumped right in and found somebody to sleep with a day or two later. She didn't have a great experience, but she kept trying with different people. Now she has a twice divorced boyfriend who is 11 years older than her and is living with a few roommates in an even more rundown area than we live in. She is also still trying to meet more people. She just had an experience with a guy who was unfortunately too physical right from the start and then made light of some health issues she is having, so she is starting to sour on things a bit

I honestly have no idea how I feel about any of this. I think I'm just kind of in shock, to be honest.

We have three young kids, the oldest in kindergarten and the middle in half day preschool. She'll start kindergarten next July/August and or youngest will enter preschool.

She's been a stay at home mom/wife for the last six years, although I basically handle everything once I get off work from dinner to baths to bedtime routine. We don't get a lot of babysitting support from family because my sister is kind of using up those resources on my family's side and her family kind of sucks. She was adopted and had always been sort of an outcast in her family.

She says she would rather be going out and doing things with me, but the babysitting help just isn't really there. I'm literally at home with the kids while she goes out on dates with her boyfriend/various other people. Not that I don't like being with my kids. It also doesn't help that like, outside of watching the kids while I'm at work, she really doesn't do anything to contribute to the household. I do literally all of the weekly chores like cooking, laundry (I wash, dry, and put away, she folds), trash, dishes, kid care, and the like. I mean, she does do the fun stuff with the kids that I probably wouldn't very often. Advent calendar, museum/zoo trips, elf on the shelf, crafts, painting/drawing projects, and what have you.


I don't know. I'm just completely lost at the moment. I'm not sure my situation would really improve at all with a divorce, but it's not super great right now either. Maybe things will get better once she goes back to work in August? Nah, that's probably just a lie I'm telling myself.

I don't know why I let her explore this whole dating thing in the first place. I don't like it, but I don't control her life. Of course, that's just the thought that immediately comes to mind. When I sit and consider it more, I don't have as big of an issue with it. I've never wanted to be a controlling spouse, but now I'm not even sure what being a spouse means anymore.

I just don't know where I actually stand on the issue. If other people make her happy, then so be it. I'm not even sure if I want a divorce myself. Do I like what she's doing? Not really, but I'm not actually sure how much I actually care about the whole situation. I told her we could get divorced, but she really didn't want that. I suppose there's not a huge difference between being divorced and my current situation already.

I think my biggest problem lies in the fact that I'm not sure how attached I really am in the first place. I think that troubles me more than the other people. I'm not particularly attached to much in general though. I'm also kind of taken aback at how quickly she dived in. I mean, she always rushes head first into things in general, whereas I'm slow as shyt to do anything most of the time.

Maybe I wouldn't be thinking about it so much if we had talked about it more beforehand. I don't know. It's not like she has done anything behind my back or hidden anything from me.


It's not like she's the only one going at this point though. I started the apps a couple weeks after her. I've been talking to a few poly/ENM people, but haven't put a ton of effort into it.


Sorry, this is pretty disjointed, but it's a couple responses stitched together with my initial post in the other thread.
