80/80

I feel weird because its different than what I'm used to but holy crap am I excited because I have a huge crush on this girl. My wife knows all about it and the date.

We have had the open relationship conversation several times but its never really come up until now.

What should I expect going forward? Anybody else had a similar experience? Feels so weird to be so excited and so nervous / frightened at the same time.

Has your wife dated/been with someone else in that time? Is this the first instance of this for either of you? If it is, this could be trouble.

My wife is the only one I've had a sexual relationship with and these thoughts do cross my mind. How did you approach her about it?I feel like I've missed out. I've always wanted to have sex with an Asian woman and I'll never get the chance. I don't want to fetishize a whole race but kpop videos are basically porno now

She has been asked on dates and said along the lines of, "Yes but I'm in an open relationship so I can't be your gf" and the guys always get turned off by that.

So really it kind of is the first instance. I am a little worried it will change things but we have a strong relationship and have been through worse. We have set boundaries and the like already.

If you can keep that up, then I hope you enjoy the experience! Open dates are fun and can bring back new excitement.

Well, people tend to have laid out beliefs in their head until they are actually faced with them in real life and then it all comes crashing down. This is a dangerous thing your doing but if it works then more power to you I guess.

I don't remember how the conversations started but it was basically just talking along the lines of the future of our relationship. We have been together since we were 18 so we both knew that we had limited romantic experience outside of our own relationship. I guess it just led to the topic of "what happens when one of us has a crush on another person?" Which led to the discussion that its much healthier to address these situations as they come but being open with each other about it, rather than secret affairs and lies and all that. Which is funny because I bet a good number of people saying "your marriage is over" etc would have little qualms about having a secret affair on their SO lol

Honesty and communication is the best policy

Well, you can always try out polyamory if she wants to get an additional partner, but polyamory is really tricky to navigate and should ONLY be attempted if your current relationship is stable, open-minded, and everyone agrees to it.

Poly relationships will fall if you use it as a form of escapism or try to run away from an ongoing problem.

Definitely not escapism here. My wife and I have a really good sex life. Its more just trying new things. Hell if I can get my wife and her together in bed I would be in heaven. But that's not my ultimate goal here. Just looking to have a little fun, no long term dedications with this new girl

I mean I'm not going to date someone I'm not attracted to. I barely know this person so it's not like my crush is based on "Oh I love this girl" or anything like that. She is super cute and fun but I'm not about to throw away my marriage on a random girl I barely know. My wife is amazing.

My wife and I always "joke" about banging other guys. She always "jokes" about black men and me about Asian women. But I think that is just an indirect way of letting each other know we want to fuck other people. But at the same time she's extremely jealous and if ever make a comment about another woman in real life she destroys.

You could say the same about people having secret affairs built on lies but people do that all the time

How about the fact that I love my wife and we are a great duo? We have built a strong relationship and a comfortable home together? But realize that we are just mammals and not some idealized version of some god's offspring? People want to f*** other people. That's a fact. You can approach that in a healthy, honest, communicative fashion, you can have devastating affairs, or you can repress your basic human instincts which leads to depression and resentment. I prefer the first option.

Seriously. Strong relationship here. It would take a lot to fall apart over a date.

My personal experience with an open relationship: obviously just be open. Don't hide things about the relationship with the person you're going on a date with and definitely not your wife. If something serious comes up with the other person, stop them there and let them know the situation.

That's my plan. I want to be open. I will probably see where this first date goes without telling the new chick I'm in an open relationship. If she never wants to hang out again, no harm no foul. Second date though is probably prime time to be honest about my situation. If she's cool with it, awesome. If not, at least we had one fun date. Is that fine or should I just be open first thing?

I typically didn't bring it up unless "the talk" came up. The way I see it dates are no strings attached and you shouldn't force the conversion anyways.

That's fair. However I don't want to wait for a conversation either because that doesn't always happen. Sometimes romantic / intimate situations occur organically and I'd rather nip it in the bud right then, rather than have casual sex and bring it up after. Extreme point there, but that's a bad idea.

Maybe. The way I see it if y'all have sex before the talk it means she doesn't require you to establish a relationship before getting that intimate

If I had to describe it, the new girl is super cute and friendly but my wife is gorgeous and sexy. If I had to choose one its my wife every day of the week. But I just want to try something new if only temporarily. And new girl's personality is quite attractive so there's that.

I think she is a bit younger than both of us (wife and I both 29) but I'm not sure her exact age. Guessing around 25.

Not really looking to bang her. If that happens organically, awesome. I'd be happy with just a couple dates and maybe some nookie lol

I met her at a coffee shop she works at. My wife had seen her previously when we went in together and often told her she was cute, liked her hair, etc. and several times after leaving would say something like "That girl is way too cute!". Asked her for her number a couple of months ago but at the time she said she had a boyfriend. Then last Saturday I went to get some coffee and she just gave it to me without me asking. Threw me off because I had written her off so to speak lol

She doesn't know but I plan on telling her before anything gets remotely serious. Honesty and Communication first
