Bringing in another sexual partner to our marriage….

I’ve never been very open minded to a 3 sum. I’m a very jealous person when it comes to my husband and the thought of seeing him with another woman or him seeing me with another man has always made me feel really uncomfortable just the thought of it.

We’ve been together 13 years and have both agree’d we’d like to spice things up a bit.
Our little boy took a nap this afternoon and we both wanted to take advantage of us both being at home in the middle of the day with a sleeping toddler so off to the bedroom we went.
We both got talking about what would turn us on that we haven’t tried before.
So I said to my husband the only thing that would turn you on would be anal (which I’m not open too) or a 3 sum.
We’ve spoken about this before and I’ve made my feelings really clear that no woman is coming near him. However he started to talk dirty to me about what we would be doing with another man in the bedroom- this turned me on a lot, but then to my surprise I started to think about what it would be like having another female in the bedroom with us and this turned me on even more (I think the thought of how much pleasure my husband would get from this turned me on the most) is that weird?
We haven’t spoken about this since having sex but we both just keep giving each other the eye, and a cheeky smile. - but it’s all I keep thinking about and I’m not sure if I’m starting to go a little crazy because I’ve never thought about it before, and if I had it’s made me feel sick.

Has anyone bought a 3rd person into their sex life with their husband?
Did it work out or did it affect the marriage in a negative way?
Also if this is something I’m apparently open too, how would we start? 🙈 I feel like a child discovering sex 😂
Im approaching 30 so I could be having a mid life crisis. My husband is the only sexual partner I’ve had. He’s had others and I think this is why I’ve always been a little uncomfortable discussing sex with him because I have nothing to compare it too, which I think he forgets sometimes.
Any advice would be appreciated x

If this is something you want to even discuss doing i highly recommend these two books: the ethical slut, and opening. You also should both be researching and discussing all the different styles of ethical non monogamy and discussing what you both want. Discuss what happens if feelings develop if you have the same partner come in more than once. Your boundaries and communication are going to be super important. Also discuss how often you will do sti testing including your papsmear for hpv. I'm personally polyam so if you need a listening ear I may be able to help point you to the right resources

Just be ready for the other things “usually”attached to it.

Girlllllllll don’t do it!!!!!! Fantasy is one thing… reality is another! Don’t do it girl!!

I think for what you are looking for i would consider hiring a sex worker. Especially since you are new to the idea of a third. They will be professional stick to clear boundaries and you don’t have to worry about feelings being involved. I learned some interesting tidbits from this woman named blueeyedkaylajade on TikTok. She is a sex worker that gets hired by couples. Granted she’s in Australia but it might help you learn something and be open to the idea of hiring a sex worker.

If you’re a jealous person in general I personally wouldn’t do it. It’s so different saying it with your partner as a fantasy then actually doing it. As someone that’s in that life style of swingers I would suggest taking it super slow if you’re actually interested. They’re apps like 3f and other apps that have couples and singles you can talk to and if you guys like it then you can pursue something. But you really have to be open.

How about swinging with another couple

There have been some great shares so far. Just a reminder that anything you invite into the bedroom should be to enhance your relationship, not act as a replacement for anything.

Both partners need to be 100% on board if not that is a breeding ground for hurt and resentment.

Here’s an episode where I interviewed Dr Stephanie Sigler who specializes in ethical non-monogamy and works with couples on navigating all aspects of the lifestyle.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
