"My Wife Is Polyamorous Now – And Wants Her Boyfriend in Our Bed"
A husband writes in with a heartbreaking and outrageous story: after 16 years of marriage and raising six boys together, his wife gave him an ultimatum — “Open marriage or no marriage.” She claims to be polyamorous and bisexual… and already has a boyfriend she’s in love with. Now she expects her husband to accept it — even while the boyfriend sleeps with her in their own marital bed.
In this episode of Dear DSO, Ralph (Dad Starting Over) breaks down the emotional chaos, what’s really happening behind the scenes, and what this man — and others in similar situations — need to do next.
🧠 Topics Covered:
Open marriages and polyamory
Betrayal trauma and denial
Emotional manipulation in relationships
What healthy boundaries actually look like
Why men must take back control of their life
