An open marriage in that they sleep with other people right?

Then that's not marriage which is a scared union but something else.

For me I think the husband is being greedy and wants to"legitimize" his escapades in his wife's eyes.

Nobody changes after marriage, he has always been like that and she married him.

She now has to make a decision on how best to live with it. Or not.

Hmmm, if both individuals are comfortable with it then they should go for it. For some people it works for others, it doesn't. If they're going to do through with it then I suggest they do extensive research on open marriage relationships before they jump into anything. And FYI, the husband shouldn't try to force her into doing something she [your sister] doesn't wanna do.

Are they in Nigeria? Is her husband white? If they are here in naija then the guy just wants space. Considering your post above, if your sister speaks like you I would not blame him.

^^^na lie he just wants to have his cake and eat it. Many guys are cheating on thier wives and girlfriends when it would be better to at least be honest & ask for an open relationship.

open marriage =tufikwa+ annulment


its kind of sad that he would suggest such because even if she doesnt agree the dude might even see it as reason enough to cheat or even start cheating

An open mariage is adultery,simple! I am sure your sister did not sign up for that and in my opinion she should not accept that idea because it always ends in destruction, believe it or not! !.

As I was saying OP. . . Marriage is what you make out of it. . . and there must BE A MEETING OF THE MINDS. Valentine's season is up again. Some choose to spend it with their spouses. . .others like moi. . . HELL NO! kiss It has nothing to do with love or committment. . . I could think of a million other places I could possible be. . .just like he thinks. . . BUT WE TALK EVERY BLESSED DAY AND WE STILL HAVE GREAAAAAAAAAAAT SEX ONLY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON WITH LOTS OF ALCOHOL, when ever we PHOCK! cool

So here is how I plan to spend my VALENTINE'S WEEK. . . Having fun. . . with the BOYFRIEND INSTEAD! cool
