Do I understand you correctly that your marriage is sexless? If so, I'm guessing he would like there to be sex but for whatever reason, he hasn't made a move. Have you talked to him about his frustration?
0 0 0 0We have sex and 99% its just me and him, however we allow ourselves chances to explore with others
Why do you feel like he's frustrated over you and your coworker?
I'd have to ask

He’s jealous.
I’ve noticed that some men want open relationships - but only for themselves. They somehow believe that their penis entitles them to spread their wild oats but the female shouldn’t do it.
If this is the case (not saying it is, just my experience) then you shouldn’t be in an open relationship. It must be equal for both parties - for me it came down to ‘treat me as you’d like me to treat you’ meaning if you can’t handle me doing it you shouldn’t be doing it either!0 2 0 0He's never been the jealous sort and we have set rules, changes are it's just miscommunication
That’s a relief. Just talk to him about it, it might be something completely left of centre you hadn’t even though of
Here's hoping
Living in an open marriage is a tacit contract. Both parties to it are equally permitted to have sex anywhere they like. If your husband doesn't like you to have sex with coworker, and now is ignoring you, it will sooner or later have negative effect on both of you. Talk to him openly and friendly. Either go back to monogamous relations, or decide future course of action.

that's what happens when you invite other people into your relationship no matter if it's agreed upon someone is eventually going to get jealous... the moment you started the open marriage thing was the starting of the end of your marriage... I truly am sorry but you should have saw this coming if you want to have sex with other people you shouldn't get married
0 0 0 0Again, our marriage has worked so far and this could just be a blip that can happen in any other marriage
so you talked to your husband and everything is ok

I'm not slating you, I understand it probably works fine, maybe it brings an added spark ling-term. I just know I might feel weird about it.
Don't do it in their face. It's not cool.

Sorry
I think the policy may have backfired. He sounds like a jealous/depressed dude with a wounded ego retreated into his cave. Introduce him to someone to see and see what happens. Maybe engineer a situation with a hot woman so he thinks he found someone on his own. Go back to monogamy and consider sex/marriage counseling.
I don’t support open marriages, but to each their own. It seems your husband has found his attention elsewhere. This is why open marriages don’t work it gives the other person the opportunity to do what they do with no real consequences. This marriage has been destroyed now because of selfish needs. If you wanted to save your marriage , there were things that could’ve been done to keep the flame in the marriage and bedroom.

We love each other but it was. by mutual agreement that it becomes open?
Its something that's worked for us up until this point
I had a hard enough time wrapping my head around a Denobulan physician and his many wives, with their SF extraterrestrial open marriage nonsense on Enterprise. I don't think I could handle yours!

Maybe he feels that ur affection for this particular co-worker is too strong and you might tend to leave him for this co-worker?
Also, the fact that you work with this person means that ur husband can't ask you to completely break all communication with this person.
Relationships at work are always a pain... *sigh*
And open relationships are such a minefield to walk through.0 0 0 0Me and my wife pick our playmates together... she is no sexual so its mostly women. Most time she joins... sometimes she watches... same with me when ever there is the time for a man. Guess ours isn't the typical open marriage as we pick playmates together and communicate when one of us feels like playing... no hidden surprises on our end
0 0 0 0Maybe that's the road to go
Give it a try... We generally use AFF to find playmates... require current verified std screenings... have ground rules such as no kissing with the one exception of her girlfriend of 20 years lol. Lots of times we flirt together with people while out for drinks... it can be arousing
Chance I could message you about it?
I can tell you in detail. But it has to be interactive.
0 0 0 0Sure?
Well if you move your primary relationship to someone else, what else do you expect? A medal and a hug while the other guy bangs you?
I'd make sure I had another partner with a woman like that - but as is fair and sane - would break up with you prior to that.0 0 0 0I could be wrong, but I get the feeling the idea of an open marriage isn't his cup of tea. Is he getting with other women at all?
0 0 0 0We do it by a 1 to 1 basis
Ok, thank you for the reply. Do you think its just jealousy with this one guy?
You're welcome, good luck to you.
So, either he's not okay with the open marriage thing after all, or it's specifically because of that one guy. Whichever, why haven't you talked to him about it yet?
0 0 0 0Haven't had a chance to
Well, obviously that's what you'll need to do as soon as possible.
Work restrictions but thanks
I dont see the purpose of an open relationship and I personally wouldn't bother to be in a relationship like that
0 0 0 0Honestly open marriages is just saying you can cheat
0 0 0 0We personally dont see it that way
are u sure about that, how do you know if he doesn't see it that way because if what u said is true then that means he doesn't see it the way he said he sees it
Because we both agreed
This is fag cuck shit. Obviously you're having problems.
0 0 0 0Very helpful advice thank you
You're welcome. If you weren't fucking another guy you wouldn't be having this problem. This is really the best advice anyone could possibly give you.
Think you've completely missed the post
Open marriages, are just people saying "they want to have their cake, and eat it too"
THEY'RE IMMORAL0 0 0 0In my opinion, in an open marriage you should go by the don't ask don't tell policy, the only extra sexual partners that you guys should discuss between each other is ones that you share experience with, so if you have threeomes swinger party or gangbangs or orgies talk about it, but don't talk about your fuck buddy from work or for that matter any of the people that you fuck outside of him and he shouldn't ask nor tell you about his side piece either. As long as neither one of you are walling out by yourselves and fucking every other person you meet, or one of you starts getting emotionally attached and takes it beyond just having sex with another person.
0 0 0 0I’m also in open marriage.
what he’s saying is not allowed in open marriage, you can date anyone0 1 0 0I can’t see how a person can love someone, and then watch them fuck someone other than you.
that can’t save a marriage that’s headed for destruction.0 0 0 0Lmao you people are ridiculous
0 0 0 0What race is your coworker? I think I can explain if I knew his race
