I am a fortysomething man in a long-term relationship – nearly 20 years – and have two children. For the past 10 years my partner has been having short-term lovers. These were clandestine, but more recently she has stopped hiding, called our relationship “open”, and currently has a lover who I do know about. But this “open relationship” can only be one-sided, because she is jealous and suspicious while I am basically not polyamorous. So why stay together? We get on, communicate well (other than the no-go zone of her other love life), rarely argue, are bonded by bringing up our children and are financially tied together.

However, the years of suppressing my emotions – of jealousy, rejection, insecurity, being lied to – have left me broken. Sex (which we still occasionally do have) has become stressed: if I don’t perform enthusiastically, it will justify her seeking other lovers. Also, I am expected to remain sexually attracted to her, which gets more difficult when I know she’s been with someone else recently. We had frank talks when she offered to end her extramarital affairs and be monogamous with me – or plan how we might separate without affecting our children. We were both very upset, as we are very much still in love, and wish the sex side of our relationship wasn’t such a terrible mess.

But it has occurred to me that I am emotionally and sexually broken after this past decade. If I was single again – or my partner was to become monogamous with me again – I don’t think I would be a viable person to be in a relationship with. How do I start to repair myself, inside or outside this relationship?

Any advice would be cool.

nice idea i mean whats life without fun

she broke your spirit and made you to become who she wants you to be....to the point that you even believe you wouldnt be good enough to anyone but her. as much as you hate the thought, you have to get away from this negative woman as you will never ever be valued by her again...so why stay?! you guys are roommates at best.

the future you dont know, is way better than what you are experiencing now...which is basically "nothing"!

Make an appointment with a mental health counselor and seek help with finding yourself first. You may have lost you in that jungle that lasted over a decade. Seek help to help find you again and drag you out of where you are so you can begin anew.

Then go from there.

... that can only maybe happen when one has has seriously lost one's self.

Your living yet you are dead inside

I love this write-up. I hope it's real and not something copied from somewhere else.

She's your baby momma from what I read. Emotions are turbulent concerning such cases. All you can do is focus on yourself and do right for your children. The only time you should let her actions disturb you is after putting a ring on her finger, which you haven't, so why call the situation a marriage in the first place?

It's time for a divorce. Your partner has basically been cheating on you for the duration of your relationship. You need to take time for yourself to heal once you divorce your partner. Then, when you're ready, find a new person who will treat you the way you should be treated.

Holly Gram PESIN wey get PROBLEM no de speak GRAMMAR!

LITE UP my WEED in peace

WTF MAN!

A completely finished man.
This is what happens when simps let women break them down, basically manipulating every strand of their thinking faculty.

How low can a man go as to not realise he is being taken for a fool?
Probably in your yesteryears, you were denigrating Redpillers and joining forces with women to call them names. Now the chicken has come home to roost.

Weak men like you deserve no sympathy.
You disgust me.

Whew!!!!

It’s hard to imagine my girlfriend cheating talk more of my wife, either ways I can’t be with someone who I know cheated, u have a kind heart and hate wahala, I can’t advice u bro, am not yet married, but one thing z for sure, divorce her ASAP

Firstly, I think you should do a DNA test on your kids to confirm they are yours.

Secondly, you have no obligation to her. Dump her, give yourself time, possibly a year, then start dating again. Within this time try to sincerely discover yourself.

Just big big grammar upandan

Oga you are old enough to decide what suits you best

Take into consideration your children

For a 43 yrs Old man to be reason like this 16 year old beat my imagination
