A request for an "open marriage" means that the requester has already been cheating. She also wants to take her trip alone which means she'll be going with the cheating partner. She's tired of sneaking around trying to hide what she's doing so she's asking your permission to continue with her affair but with your full knowledge. It's a difficult thing to come to grips with what you know to be true. It's also a difficult thing to make decisions that will drastically shake life as you know it. Realize that if your marriage is salvageable, you need to be willing to lose it in order to save it. Presenting her with divorce paperwork will make it clear whether she's still your wife or if she belongs fully to the affair partner. I wish the best for you.

This "marriage" is not only "not a marriage" but is actually toxic for you.

She has told you that she never really loved you and if she had another chance, would not have married you.

She screwed the plumber while you gave her the opportunity to work on designing and building your dream home while you wen to work and disguised this as helping a drug addict in need while getting you to carry his furniture for him - disgusting.

She then took sex off the table and you agreed!!!???!!!

Because of COVID she is grateful for your being around! Really!

She wants an open marriage where she can also take solo vacations with you funding the whole mess!

I would file for divorce so fast, it woould make her head spin! You are still young and there are many women out there who will love you and only you! In the words of a recent (terrifying) film -- GET OUT!

I just don't get it.
