Hello Reddit,
I’m reaching out to this community hoping to gain some insights on a delicate matter concerning my relationship. My wife is bisexual, and while I consider myself mostly straight, I’ve been exploring different aspects of my sexuality. We have a strong, loving, and trusting relationship, and it’s important for me to keep it that way as we consider new experiences.
I’ve been contemplating the idea of introducing a third partner (a male) into our intimate life. This is a new territory for us, and I want to approach the topic with the highest degree of respect and sensitivity towards my wife’s feelings and boundaries.
One thing to note is that I am not generally a jealous person, but my wife tends to be more sensitive to jealousy. This is a key consideration for me because I want to ensure that she feels secure and that her needs are prioritized in any decision we make.
I’m seeking advice on how to bring up this topic. How do I initiate this conversation in a way that is considerate and clear? I’m not dissatisfied with our relationship at all; I am very happy with her. It’s about exploring together in ways that might deepen our connection.
What are the dos and don’ts in having this conversation? If anyone here has had similar experiences, I would greatly appreciate hearing how you approached this discussion and managed any potential feelings of jealousy.
Thank you for your understanding and help.
