The article narrates a woman's journey through marriage, revealing the complexities that arise when her husband expresses feelings of missing excitement after two decades together. Seeking to remedy this, they consult a counselor, who suggests exploring an open marriage. Upon re-entering this world, including rekindled feelings with a mutual friend, the woman grapples with the emotional turmoil of polyamory, recognizing that while she may understand the concept intellectually, her emotional response presents significant challenges. This narrative highlights the unexpected paths relationships can take and the struggles many face in adapting to change.
Curt, who I met in college, was 23, a junior when we met. I was so young and innocent when we decided to get married, but of course, if you asked me back then, I would have told you I was ready for marriage.
One night, my husband looked at me and said the words that changed everything: "I feel like something's missing." Cue my problem-solving instincts kicking in.
...the therapist suggested something...unconventional. "Have you considered opening up your marriage?" Now, here's a fun plot twist - this wasn't our first rodeo.
Curt wasn't just looking for spice - he was chasing the feeling of falling in love. He was familiar with polyamory, so he suggested we give it a try.
