The article addresses a woman struggling with her marriage, feeling disconnected from her husband and exploring a rekindled passion with an old flame, Damian. She faces the dilemma of whether to initiate an open marriage or confess to her affair, while considering the impact on their youngest child's future. The author suggests a careful approach to discussing non-monogamy, emphasizing the need for honest communication regarding unmet needs and desires. Ultimately, she must choose between maintaining financial stability and emotional fulfillment.
You can, in theory, have it both ways, and you can certainly try to make that happen here. The opening-up conversation is much easier when it isn't driven by an ethical violation.
You might have a more effective conversation if you start it by talking about non-monogamy in a more general manner. Lay down the facts: You simply aren't having sex, and you want to do something about that.
