Mark was feeling restless in his marriage because their love life was getting stale so he talked his wife into trying “opening our marriage”. But they found that tons of men wanted to be with her, but no women wanted to be with him. Now Mark is jealous of the attention his wife is getting, but is it fair for him to change his mind about the “opening our marriage”?
Ayla Brown: Oh, my goodness. Good morning, Mark. It’s funny, I feel like this topic on the show comes up, no pun intended, numerous times. And today you want to talk about open relationships. So what have you got? Give it to me, Mark.
Mark: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Mm hmm. Recently, me and my wife, we’ve been married for 12 years. And, you know, when you’re in a relationship for a while, sometimes things get a little bit repetitive, a little slow, you know? And I was talking to a mutual friend of ours about how things are going with his wife, and he had suggested, hey, you might want to look into an open relationship kind of situation. And I was just thinking, I love my wife and she is the greatest woman in the world. No offense to you. But she is the best.
Ayla Brown: None taken. I’m sure she’s great.
Mark: The only thing is, outside of sex, everything else is perfect. So I just thought maybe we can settle this. Maybe we, you know.
Ayla Brown: Wow. So you asked her? And she said, Okay, cool. I’m feeling like things are a little slow?
Mark: I was like, you know, I want to keep things interesting for you. I feel like things have been a little slow between us lately. Think about this.
Ayla Brown: Damn.
Mark: You know, she was hesitant about it, but she was like, All right, you know, we can discuss it. And so we went online and we made a profile and we set it up and we made it explicit. Hey, this is a couple thing.
Ayla Brown: So did you get anyone that swiped on you that’s interested?
Mark: We got so many people who swiped yes on her. Which is the problem. Like we made it clear in the bio. We have photos of us together. You know, this is a couple thing. And we got so many dudes just messaging and being like she’s hot. I can’t wait for her to hook up with her.
Ayla Brown: So you’re feeling a little left out that you weren’t actually part of this open marriage situation that you thought you had planned in your mind?
Mark: A little bit, Yeah.
Ayla Brown: Are you jealous?
Mark: I mean, it would be nice if somebody found me attractive, you know? But it’s always feeling like she doesn’t find me attractive because things are slowing down. And now I’ve got guys sending Wang pics. And I had some guy on there say I can’t wait to sleep with his wife and my wife. You can watch.
Ayla Brown: Okay, first of all, you guys are all pigs. Okay, I’m just going to say it. Mark thought he wanted to try an open relationship. Turns out that only the people that want to be with him and his wife are just people that want his wife. So he’s feeling a little jealous. Should he be mad about this or did he kind of ask for it by suggesting an open marriage in the first place?
