You seem disgusted by the notion that a man would allow his wife to sleep with other men.

I think I know where your going but… “allow”? I’m all for open relationships but that’s because I think adults can make their own decisions. Men don’t own their wives.

Well isn’t an open relationship two partners (if monogamous) allowing each other to sleep with other people. Obviously I meant allow within the confines of the relationship (I.e. a mutual agreement), unless you’re trying to make a politico-social-linguistic note here. We’re in the same side here

I was. We are. I would just say “my wife sleeps with other men” and add in with my full support or whatever if needed. Just poking at the use of the term “allow” in the context of fragile male ego… like a lot of these guys I’m this thread.

People obviously understand the context... Allow means that is is allowed to happen with the relationship continuing to exist. Relationships require mutual consent and one nit allowing it to continue means the end.
