My husband suggested an Open relationship!!
My husband and I been married for 2 years now and have been together for about 4 years in total. During our dating phase, we had a long-distance relationship as we lived 5 hours away from each other. Despite our efforts to see each other as often as possible, our sex life during that time was okay. One thing I noticed was that I had a higher sex drive compared to my previous relationship, where I wasn’t the one who often initiated sex.
Though our sex life was fine while dating, things changed after we got married as it became non-existent. It's been about 2 months since we last had sex, and even then, I was the one who initiated it. My husband, who is an accountant at the peak of his career, is always busy and stressed, taking medication for anxiety. We've undergone various medical tests, but nothing conclusive has been found to explain his low sex drive, with the doctor suggesting stress as a probable cause.
We've sought help from a therapist who suggested scheduling sex days, but that doesn't suit my spontaneous nature. During one conversation, my husband proposed the idea of an open relationship just for me, acknowledging my needs. While shocked by his suggestion, given our Christian beliefs, I initially declined. However, after some time, I find myself considering the idea more, albeit with apprehension as it is uncharted territory for me.
I'm unsure about proceeding with an open relationship, especially since my husband wouldn't be part of it. I'm seeking advice or guidance on how to navigate this situation.
