Episode description
A husband wrote to me after 18 years of marriage.
Their sex life had slowed down like many long relationships.
Then one day his wife said something he never expected:
She wanted an open marriage.
She said it could make their relationship stronger.
He feels like the ground under his marriage suddenly shifted.
In this episode, I discuss:
• Why open marriage conversations often appear suddenly
• The role of novelty and new attention
• Why agreeing under pressure leads to resentment
• What a man should do when the relationship rules suddenly change
