On Our 10-Year Marriage Anniversary, My Husband Proposed an Open Relationship — I Agreed, Only to Teach Him a Lesson

On our 10-year anniversary, my husband, Dave, suggested an open relationship. Shocked and hurt, I agreed to teach him a lesson. Dave struggled in the dating scene while I thrived, which created tension between us.

Anniversary Bombshell

At a fancy restaurant, Dave casually said, “I’ve been thinking… maybe we should open up our relationship.” He thought it would relieve my stress by dating “real women” while I focused on the kids. Stunned, I responded, “As long as I get to date other people too.” Dave, oblivious, agreed, not realizing what he was in for.

Struggling with Dating

A week later, Dave was having no luck with dating apps. “Another one canceled,” he muttered. I pretended not to enjoy his misery, replying, “Maybe she sensed your desperation?” Meanwhile, I reconnected with Shawn, a handsome coworker. When Dave failed yet another date, he walked in on Shawn and me, sparking his jealousy.

Facing Reality

Dave admitted, “Seeing you with someone else… it’s killing me.” I confronted him, “Did you really think your suggestion wouldn’t hurt me?” He apologized, realizing his mistake. We decided to work on our marriage with counseling and more quality time.

Moving Forward

As we reminisced about our first date, Dave said, “I want to be better, Felicity. For you, for the kids. I don’t want to lose what we have.” We committed to taking it one day at a time, hopeful for our future together.
