Transitioning a monogamous relationship into a non-monogamous one can be a daunting task, as shared stories suggest. While it is possible to make this shift while preserving your existing relationship, it is essential for both partners to be aligned, as well as any future partners. Trying to save a relationship by opening it up is generally not advised. One Reddit user sought advice after struggling with communication, differing desires, issues of self-esteem, and more when opening up her marriage. The wife, who was initially hesitant about the idea, now finds herself in a mental crisis over the prospect of reverting to monogamy. The husband’s desire to close the relationship has led to panic and uncertainty for the wife, who is questioning his intentions. Reddit users weighed in on the situation, offering insights and perspectives on the dynamics at play. The wife’s fear of losing her husband’s attraction if the relationship becomes monogamous again reflects deeper insecurities that may require addressing. Ultimately, the decision to maintain a relationship in such circumstances rests with the individual involved, with the hope that self-esteem and clarity can be restored.
