I Opened My Marriage, Lost My Husband, And Now I'm Fighting To Win Him Back. Is It Too Late?
--------
The story revolves around a woman, married to her husband James for five years, who explores the idea of an open marriage after developing an emotional connection with a delivery driver named Jaden. Despite her initial hesitation, she raises the topic with James, who reacts negatively. Later, James unexpectedly agrees to an open marriage but sets ambiguous rules, leading to a series of events that devastate their relationship.
The woman engages in a physical relationship with Jaden but is overwhelmed by guilt and realizes her mistake. Simultaneously, James exhibits distant and suspicious behavior, suggesting he may have used the situation as an opportunity to explore other options. The tension escalates as James distances himself emotionally and physically, culminating in their divorce.
Months later, the woman and James reconnect but only as casual partners. James makes it clear there is no chance of rekindling their marriage, leaving the woman longing for a deeper relationship and a future together, including having children with him. Despite her regrets and attempts at reconciliation, James remains firm in his boundaries, while the woman struggles to move forward emotionally.
The story highlights themes of trust, betrayal, the complexity of human relationships, and the challenges of navigating non-traditional arrangements within a marriage. It ends on a bittersweet note, with the woman reflecting on her love for James and her desire to repair their bond, despite the seemingly irreversible damage.

Stepping outside of your marriage for lust and then playing the victim when it ruins the marriage is crazy work.
But I also kind of think the husband is an asshole in this one too even though usually I agree with it because he said it like he was really pretending to be OK with it just so he could leave rather than just admitting he wasn’t OK and considered it over the second hefound out about the emotional affair. Just kind of dumb.
@@ctwheels If you believe that you one of the people that cheat in things it's ok to cheat like no one feels bad for her
@ctwheels are you dumb? The husband hade all rights to ignore her and ghost her like how dumb is the girl try to act like the victim after fucking another man is just wierd and wrong
Easier to leave when the wife is happy. She'd have made his life hell if he simply left@@ctwheels
@@ctwheelseither way asking for a open marriage literally means you want to cheat
Going from, a loving marriage to being a side chick is crazy work.
her life is ruined, she'll never have a good relationship if she's obsessed with james, this is honestly insane
It definitely hurts to ask. If my woman asked me it was over for us. The amount of courage it takes just to ask means they either already cheated or they know exactly who they want. Their minds are completely made up at that point, the idea is firmly in place and saying no will not change anything, at best just delays the inevitable. They will go behind your back if you say no
I’ve never heard a successful story of an open marriage
Marriage is A Joke these days.
Statistically, 98% of open marriages fail within the first 5 years of them being opened. It's one of the absolute stupidest gambles one can make. It's like running from the cops. People rarely get away with it, yet they constantly try. I just don't get people. They're weird. lol.
That's because it's a bs cop out. That's a woman's way of saying I want to test drive yourp potential permenant replacement while keeping you as a back up encase it doesn't work out. Women don't love or care about men. Their love is situational, and chages like the weather. The only love they have is for your money and what you provide
So you wanted to open your relationship so you could date another guy and you didn't want him to date anybody so we found a girlfriend and he left your ass good riddance
Ah so this is where “curiosity killed the cat” comes from lol self owned x100
OP's husband probably thought of this: "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." And so, he left with his morals and common sense to not stay with the 304 who took him for granted to look outside the marriage.
Real or fake, the gist remains the same and that is the ability of people to sit there and say that cheating on their spouse “was a mistake” and “it was just sex and meant absolutely nothing” followed by gaslighting, projection, deflection, et cetera. Given how a vast majority of the people who cheat seem to come from more women, it’s a wonder why strong, high value men are absolutely done with dating and marriage.
If you consider having sex outside your marriage then divorce your spouse.
Open marriage requests are infidelity.
If it isnt the consequences of my actions 😵 shocker
I have to say that this is some what hilarious. The delusion in this woman’s head …
😆😆😆
The ex-husband is using her now.
It always always amazes me with these “open relationships”, it really boggles my mind how people don’t think of consequences. I imagine somewhere on these “open relationship” forums, there is a “do and don’ts” when it comes to deciding on whether or not to have one, and I would imagine on the “don’ts”, somebody has thought of the concept of not entertaining the idea of an open relationship when really all that partner wants is a one sided “hall pass”. Because that’s really what the OOP wanted to begin with. The list I was referring to would probably say that if you are having an emotional affair, you’re probably not going to be OK with the idea of your partner getting into emotional affairs or sleeping with someone else. I would imagine that if a person doesn’t have multiple people who they want to be intimate with, without feelings, then they should keep their relationship, closed and get over their crush, or just leave their partner and move onto their crush to begin with. Obviously people aren’t taking heed of warnings.
Bro got a dub and knew it was doomed to fail before it even happened
Yes, it is too late.
These people who tell you open marriages work are talking BS. If one partner is against it it is the beginning of the end of their marriage.
My question is: if a woman asks "the question" she's either already cheated or has someone in mind, is the same true for us men?
The actual hypocrisy of this woman is unbelievable! She's basically saying it's okay for her to have a physical relationship with someone else but not okay for him! If you ever actually consider an open relationship or bumping uglies with someone other than your spouse, you need a divorce, not a lifetime supply of condoms. Yes OP, YTA and what's even worse is that you're playing the victim and attempting to gaslight your husband! That poor man NEEDS a divorce asap!
I love how you make even the simplest things feel special and meaningful. ✨
This is cheating your going in knowing exactly what you want. See I think what people fail to see is one you both need to be into it two you should know what your getting into from the start and three there are rules and safety things. Op did none of these things her husband thought they were on the same page
Play stupid games get stupid prizes 🤨......... I would never do that, My name ain't Sharon🤔
what an intriguing story and well told! it's fascinating to see different perspectives on relationships, but i have to say, opening a marriage seems like a risky move. do you really think it’s possible to go back to the way things were? seems like once boundaries are pushed, it’s hard to regain that trust.
She fucked around. She found out. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
"I wouldnt babytrap him" lol when she finds out shell never be anything more then a meat slab to him she try
this video was really well done and brought up some interesting points. but honestly, i can't help but think that opening a marriage can lead to more complications than it's worth. i mean, isn't the whole point of marriage to have that exclusivity? just my two cents.
Weird how I can’t find this on Reddit.
wow, this video really dives deep into some complex emotions and relationships. it’s refreshing to see such honesty. that being said, i can't help but think that opening a marriage can sometimes lead to more issues than it solves. it's like, are you truly committed to each other if you're exploring other options? just a thought!
Eh… I don’t think OP is the worst person in the world, they didn’t go behind their back and cheat. They asked and told their spouse that it’s okay to say no (many give their spouses an ultimatum)
However, the right move was to just not ask if they love their spouse so much, the relationship started monogamous and it should have stayed that way.
Well she did have an affair as she explained she has an emotional affair with Jayden.
Wow, this video was really eye-opening and well put together! I appreciate how you shared such a personal journey. But honestly, I’m a bit torn about the whole "open marriage" concept. It seems like a risky choice that can easily lead to deep emotional pain. What do you all think? Is it worth the potential heartbreak?
this video is really compelling and thought-provoking - i appreciate the honesty shared here. but honestly, i wonder if opening a marriage ever really works out in the long run. sometimes it feels like it just complicates things even more. what do you all think?
What a captivating video! I appreciate your openness in sharing such a personal experience. But honestly, I can't help but think that opening a marriage can sometimes complicate things more than it resolves. It's tough to believe that love can thrive in such an environment. What do you all think?

what an intriguing video! i really appreciate how you shared such a personal experience. that said, i can't help but feel that opening a marriage can sometimes lead to more complications than it’s worth. isn't there a risk of losing sight of what made the relationship special in the first place? just my two cents!

This is stupid and sad. She was clearly willing to drop the whole poly thing. The husband is the one who decided to bring it back up and he's the one who decided they would be open. She was gonna drop it and just be monogamous, and now he blames her just because she brought up the idea, all be because he has the idea in his head that she'd cheat, and whether or not she would can't be said but don't say we're in an open relationship starting now then get pissy when you're partner starts sleeping with another person. If you don't like the idea then say i don't want that then maybe go to counciling if you feel like you can't get over her bringing it up. All of his could be avoided if he just had a real talk with his wife instead of making assumptions about what she wants.
really appreciated the honesty in this video, it's not easy to share such personal experiences. however, I can't help but wonder if opening a marriage was really the best solution. once trust is broken, can it truly be rebuilt? I'd love to hear more opinions on this!
Wow, this video was really intriguing and well put together! I appreciate how you brought the story to life. but honestly, I feel like opening a marriage can be a pretty risky move. While it might work for some, it seems to me like it creates more problems than it solves. Just my two cents!
She needs to go away
I too prefer to eat roast fresh from the oven instead of those that contains the spit of others
This video is really well put together and gives a unique perspective on a complex situation. That said, I can't help but think that opening a marriage might lead to more problems than solutions. It feels like it can quickly spiral out of control, and I wonder if it’s truly worth the risk to not just the relationship but also to everyone's emotional well-being. Just my two cents!
really interesting video, you have a knack for storytelling! but honestly, i think opening a marriage is a risky move that might lead to more problems than it solves. it’s tough to navigate those feelings, and sometimes it can create more distance instead of bringing people closer. curious to hear what others think about it!
what a fascinating and thought-provoking video! it really made me reflect on relationships in a unique way. however, i can't help but wonder if opening a marriage is ever really a good idea in the first place. it seems like it could lead to more complications rather than solutions, you know?
This was literally FAFO!
Zero accountability, same old song and dance.
Demoted from Wife to FWB. Big yikes
Not even that - sounds more like a plain bootie call to me now - situationship.
Her ex husband is extremely insecure and she can definitely do better
James is a spineless idiot, he agreed! It was not the wife but the husband who ruined the marriage. They made a decision together and the husband broke the rules!
Divorce? She dodged the bullet! The husband is worth nothing! Little wimp! Her family is worth nothing too!
In the end, they both got what they wanted lol he gets freedom and she gets to be used for sex and nothing more. Both are happy
You are joking? 100% of men know she's cheating or will cheat if he says no. The marriage was over, and the husband had 0 control over his wife's cheating.
Another one of these male voice for a female character fails.
