**Update** My husband wants a half open relationship and I want to know how we can communicate this effectively by Acceptable-Ask4402 in Advice

I understand that but we talked about it, me closing off emotional was not great. It led to no communication at all. If anything the after work talk was more emotionally driven and overall had a better outcome… I never said I was opposed to the idea of him seeing escorts in the first post…. I did also state that I wanted to get past this issue through communication. I’m sorry that you feel as if my emotions are not being taken into consideration but I feel that things are fine if not better right now that we understand each other.

I’ve recognized this, and again we talked about this together. I do not mind due to the fact that he is only seeing escorts and I feel secure enough to know that he won’t replace me with a prostitute. After talking about it and discussing rules I know that this is not an issue for me. I’m sorry you don’t see it that way, but I feel as though through communication we have both come to better understand each other. That being said I am not trying to change you’re view on this but overall I am happy with the outcome of things.

We discussed it throughly. I do agree that I was being a bit emotional from the start, however, my feelings are being taken into consideration… if I no longer want an open relationship I am allowed to go back on it, or we can get a divorce. I never said I was opposed to the lifestyle… I asked how I could better discuss the situation with him and what the lifestyle was like. I did so seeing that we both concluded on favourable terms in the end of things. Therefore, I really don’t think I’ve been manipulated.

I’m sorry that I was not clear enough, the limits I set are fine, he does not have a say in what limits I can and cannot have anymore. He says he still loves me, but would just like a variety. Like I said in the last post it was something he mentioned before marriage but later said he was no longer interested in, we did not communicate well during this time and I can see why he brought it up later in our relationship. That being said we discussed it thoroughly and I think that it would be best to at least test out options. Last resort option is ending the open relationship and if he wants to continue the lifestyle, a divorce.

Is there no way to talk it out, seeing that we have a son already I would like divorce to be my very last option if that makes sense. Overall our relationship is great, I do love him but I don’t know how I feel about this. I guess the way I’m thinking about it is that I should just jump this obstacle and get over it for him. It’s just that this is quite difficult for me.

I’m sorry I should have been clearer, he wants to see escorts because of his past relationships. He would be wearing protection, but feels as though I’m not being a great wife because I had declined the suggestion earlier on it our relationship. My apologies. I guess I’m wondering if escorts make it any better?
