Hi Adam, thank you for sharing your position here.
I hope that in time, you guys both get to enjoy your (sex) life more, and in a way that feels comfortable for you both.
I believe your goal here is to have your wife enjoy her life more? And to spice things up for yourself at the same time?
What makes me wonder about your post is whether or not your wife shares the same problem and desire as you do, i.e. is she bored about things as well? And does she feel inhibited by her -understandable- caution for drama, in a way that she actually experiences any (sexual) tension between her caution and her own fantasies or real desires? Have you guys discussed or explored this?
Has she actually expressed any real sexual desire herself involving another guy in any way?
If i read correctly, your wife said that she disliked the thought and finds it a ‘stupid idea’.
When she told you that it would take too much energy organizing contact with another man, it seemed to me that she said that in a pretty negative context/situation? And that she only adressed it because of your desire or concerns after you expressed your discontent? And again she argumented that she does not want to.
That could be just my (mis)interpretation.
Could there be more ways of exploring how to spice things up together? Aside from having her be with another guy in case she does not want to engage in this herself?
Could there be more/other ways of exploring your wife’s sexuality together if and up to the degree that she really wants to herself?
