There is a general rule of thumb that opening up a marriage or relationship to save it may not work. Experts and women who have tried open relationships emphasize that trust and commitment are crucial for success. Introducing other partners may not solve deep marital issues. However, when faced with a dead bedroom situation, like one woman on Reddit, the temptation to explore an open marriage arises. In this case, the husband’s refusal to engage sexually has left the wife feeling insecure and unattractive. Reddit users have weighed in, acknowledging her husband’s selfish behavior and lack of consideration for her needs. Suggestions include exploring solo holidays for clarity and considering divorce if the husband continues to disregard her well-being. Ultimately, a healthy relationship, whether open or monogamous, requires mutual trust and respect, elements that may be lacking in this wife’s marriage.
