Open Relationship

This is an inspiration from Reddit

" I want to open our Marriage."

The clanking of the dishes sounded in the silence of the kitchen, as you abruptly stopped your task. Nothing has prepared you for those words to shake the fragile interior of your marriage and home.

You and Shawn had been each other's person for 12 years. You never thought that he was this unhappy, until recently when you found out he was fucking a coworker.

You grew up in a family where the men were praised, and after being hurt and constantly taking him back for his outlandish behaviors and ego, you now were in a very difficult situation.

" Am I not enough?" You asked.

" I just want...more. I still want to be married, I still want us to continue our lives with each other. But I want a little bit more fun-

You broke the glass plate that sat in your hand. You clenched it so tight that you didn't even feel it shatter in your hands and the remnants of the plate, falling to the bottom of the soapy dish water.

" I don't want to argue about this. We can both do it, not just me. That way, we won't always have to be so codependent of one another-

" What if I don't want to do it? What if I love my husband so much, that- I don't want this interference in our marriage and I want us to go back to where it was."

Shawn, may have been going through a selfish phase. Losing over 100 pounds during the course of your marriage and you being one of his biggest supporters, it was like he was now a completely different person after his transformation.

" Why are you always thinking about yourself? I'm always tired from work, taking care of the bills...all these medical bills because we're trying for a baby that you're having problems conceiving."

There it was. Was that the issue? Because you were having problems having babies? Last you checked, there was nothing wrong with you, but Shawn refuses to get himself checked out. Now, you were undergoing all of these useless treatments and shots, and nothing was working.

You held back tears, because if you cried, you would be showing him that you were weak. He tells you this at the most pivotal part in your marriage. Your anniversary. He took no time taking you anywhere and you had to slave over a hot ass stove to make everything special for him.

You turned to him, as your back was facing him the whole time. You inhaled...and exhaled, and your eyes looked at him. Deadpanned and nothing in them.

" Ok...what were you suggesting?"

He seems taken back by your response and smirked at the lack of fight you had in your voice.

" No close friends. And whoever we find we have to tell each other about them. No interfering in each other's affairs and we can even make that person our partners. And no bringing them home."

"While married?" You asked.

Shawn nodded. You thought he wasn't done and waited for an extra response. But when none came, you nodded and turned your back to him again.

" Oh! You Uh- cut yourself. Might want to clean that up."

You looked down, a big slit in the middle of your hand. Your hand dripping with blood as you just stared at it. You felt like you failed as a wife.

You tried to call Shawn's bluff for the past week since he told you about the opening of your marriage. You thought he was going to coward and not do it as you were solely trying to repair the damage within the marriage.
