Hi Matt,
Polyamory or open marriages is The New Thing right now. Of course, people have been having open relationships for millions of years, it’s just that usually their Primary Partner (to use their jargon) wasn’t supposed to know about it.
We are so modern we’re supposed to be OK with it. If you have jealousy, you are unevolved. *sarcasm*
The jealousy you feel is actually several hundred thousand years of evolution in you screaming “SOMETHING IS WRONG”. Of course you look better than ever. Of course you are doing it several times a day. Of course you are more attentive. Because some other guy is around. Before you know it you will be raising another man’s baby. Your very body is making sure that doesn’t happen.
I say you tell her, “No, actually, I’m not OK with it. I want to meet this guy when you do as I’m the Primary Partner as that is how modern Open Marriages work. Did you know that? By the way, open marriages also work both ways and I’m the hot husband now. Men get sexier as we get older at the same time as women grasp at the last vestiges of youth. I’m actually doing you a favor by offering monogamy. Have fun with the guy. But let me tell you, in reality, it’s him or me. Think hard. Think very hard.”
So is she meeting him for a dinner or for a night??
Good Luck,
Inky
