（29F）I’m in an open relationship, but I’m afraid to tell any of my other casual partners that I’m married.
My husband（30F）is very good to me, and I love him. A year ago, we decided to open our relationship. At the beginning, when I told my casual partners that I was married, they all became very angry and couldn’t understand why my husband would allow this.
After that, I stopped telling people who I want to maintain long-term casual relationships that I am married.
However, sometimes I still feel worried, even though I already told them from the beginning that I only want a casual relationship and that is the foundation.
I’m afraid that later they might want something more serious or long-term, especially since I haven’t told them I’m married. Sometimes when they ask me to stay overnight or ask more intimate personal questions, I feel anxious. But at the same time, I really enjoy spending time with them.
Does anyone else have similar experiences? How do you handle it?
**TL;DR:** I’m in an open marriage and enjoy casual relationships, but I don’t always disclose that I’m married because past reactions were negative. This sometimes makes me anxious about expectations and boundaries, even though I’m clear from the start that I only want something casual.
