Dates frequency
My wife (34) and I (F37) are opening our relationship after almost 12 years together. She is interested in someone and asked me and I agreed to it. It's been a journey (more like a roller-coaster one), but I'm slowly accepting this shift in our relationship. They didn't went on a date yet and I asked her for us to go slow because I don't know how this is gonna be for me.
But I did asked her to let me know how she imagined our relationship would be, since she said she wanted to have not only dates but real relationships outside our marriage. She then told me she would like to eventually get to a situation in which she would spend one night with this other person per week and also spend part of one day of the weekend. At the time I got really frustrated with this because the weekends are kind of big deals for me since it's the only time we can be together without all the work load and stress we have along the week. And I have been seeing some other posts here about this topic in which people say they go out on dates once a week or even every 15 days.
I just wanted to know how do you deal with negotiating the dates frequency? And also would love to hear how are the dynamics in your relationships, especially when there's a nesting partner/marriage. Thanks! 😬
