My wife said, "I want to explore other options while we're still young. An open marriage would be good for both of us."
So, I agreed and started dating her attractive friend.
She screamed, "This isn't what I wanted."
Few days later, I served her with divorce papers.
Sup, Reddit? My wife wanted an open marriage. Said our life is boring and she wanted something new. Then she lost her shit when I started seeing her smoking hot friend from college.
"It's supposed to be physical, not developing a relationship," she yelled. Then went nuclear when she realized what I'd been up to.
You'll have to get yourself a snack because this one's long and wild. I'm 31 male, a mechanic at an independent shop in Dallas. Nothing fancy, but the money's decent, and I love working with my hands. Got a house in the suburbs, a garage where I spend most of my free time working on my pride and joy, a '67 Chevy Impala that I've been restoring for the past 2 years.
I've been married to Amanda, 30 female, for almost 6 years, together for seven. For the first few years, we had what I'd call a genuinely good thing going. Amanda's a graphic designer at some boutique firm downtown, and we clicked on pretty much everything. We'd take weekend trips to the Hill Country, had this whole routine of cooking dinner together on Sundays, and could talk for hours about random stuff.
Amanda's always been the social butterfly while I'm more of a Netflix and chill guy. Every Friday, she'd hit up drinks with her college crew. This tight group of girls who've known each other since freshman year. Never bothered me because honestly, it gave me time to work on the Impala or catch up on whatever series I was binge watching. She'd come home with funny stories about their drama and we'd end up talking until late.
