My husband is jealous I have more partners than him
Hi F26 and my husband M30 have been married for two years and were in an open relationship while we were dating so we’ve been doing so for quite a while with no issue.
The other day he asked me how many people I am currently seeing which he has never done before, we normally never discuss who we’ve been with, and I told him the truth seeing no harm in that. I told him I am seeing three guys and a girl. At first he thought I was joking and once he realized I wasn’t he looked shocked. He then went on to say he normally doesn’t ever have more than one other partner at a time. After that conversation I could tell he was really jealous not upset or anything just jealous.
Now he is saying we should limit how many people we can each see at a time which is not going to fly with me. I’ve always been with at least three people at once the last five years and I’m not changing that. My husband has never had an issue meeting women so it seems to me he just doesn’t want to put in effort of being with more people at a time than his usual.
He’s dropped it now but he’s obviously still jealous though I’m not going to bring it up again. He’s never been the jealous type so I found it all really strange. Has anyone else experienced this before?
