FAFO. It was all well and good to pin her down as being the problem when he thought he could just get whoever he was attracted to instead of her. Then reality strikes and it turns out he ain't all that yet she is a dish....and now it's all so unfair, would it have been unfair if she was suffering? Conceited misogynistic a.hole got what was coming to him.

What a man child. He’s realizing there are consequences to being a selfish person. And now that he does not like those consequences, he’s pretending like he’s “learned something” to try and avoid them. I hope the wife finds someone better and leaves.

Also, what are the chances that the reason why he wasn’t into his wife any more was because she wasn’t as passionate and interested in sex as she once was *because* he had let himself go.

I wonder how many times he nagged his wife before she agreed to the open marriage.

🤣 These stories are really amusing. He could at least be honest with himself and admit he wants to close his marriage, since nobody wants to go out with him

OP says he's glad his daughter isn't there to see their marriage falling apart, but it's only falling about in his eyes, his wife is perfectly content with the marriage. Also, and I know other women, for the most part, would agree that his story about his coworkers is off - he claims he just asked her out - but if she got upset and reported him, and he actually got fired for it even though their depts had absolutely nothing in common, then I would bet my house that he was being slimy in those texts. They didn't even issue a write up, they just fired his a*s ... I have no doubt it's because he was being very inappropriate. I hope there wasn't a d**k pic involved, though I wouldn't really be remotely surprised, guys love sending those for some reason.

OP thought he was the most amazing looking, most attractive person in the world and that women would be swarming all over him, but he wanted to have his cake and eat it to, so he 'suggested' to his wife they have an open relationship. Then reality hit - he isn't all that and a bag of chips, women do not find him irresistible, BUT men do find his wife is all that and the chips and now he had an epiphany that he was 'wrong' and he deeply loves his wife and doesn't want her to be with other men. FAFO I hope she files for divorce.

lol love this. women..no matter how unattractive you may think they are, can get d**k easier than a man can get pussy. that is a fact

You know that if the situation were reversed he'd be loving it and wouldn't care if his wife wasn't getting any action. This is the definition of a plonker

Well, you're not just an idiot, you're a s****y person. Yikes

"He had the nerve to say my wife looked better than me..." Not just looks better than him. IS better than him.

I love these stories. Lol. Middle aged men always think that a younger woman being nice to them means they have a shot.... then they do s**t like this & the younger woman is like "uhhh no. You're gross! & creepy!" & then they have shocked pikachu face. lol. Then their hot wives f**k hot men & they're so confused. 9/10x your wife is hotter than you at 44... especially if you don't take care of yourself. What self respecting young woman would want a middle aged, married man who doesn't take care of himself. Especially when they're hot & can f**k any young dude they want? Who in their right mind would choose you over that! Sorry. Not sorry.

#"The freedom that you wanted bad, is yours for good, I hope you're glad..."

As I read this story to my wife when we first saw it, we each randomly commented throughout with "Dumbass!" After finishing the article, our conversation was "Dumbass!" "Dumbass!" "What a dumbass!" "F*****g dumbass." I think we nailed this one eloquently.

All I can say to this dude is AHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think he just wanted to date his coworker and used this as an excuse. He didn’t get the outcome he hoped so he tried to backtrack. Such to suck

The male version of Pandora - opened the box and unleashed a big old pile of whoop-a*s on himself. She is now getting (the most likely well deserved) emotional and physical attention she wasn't getting before the box opened (odds on with more skilful partners also). Buddy, you ripped open a pillow on a windy day - you will never get the feathers all picked up and back inside

OK, everyone - in unison - "Be careful what you ask for - You may get it!"

Hahahahaha!

I'll let you know what I think about this whole situation...when I stop laughing at this guy's audacity...

Sorry guys but dating for women seems to be a lot easier than it is for men. When I signed up on a couple dating sites it was so overwhelming how many people were trying to meet up I ended up deleting them. My BF (prior to us dating) said it was very slim pickings, and he's an attractive, successful man. Remember that when you're getting bored of your wife.

OP is dumber than a dung beetle. He just embarrassed himself on the internet for the whole world, lmao, wow. He deserves everything, and I mean everything he gets for being such an ignorant AH.

Never dip your quill in the company ink. It won't end well (and didn't for this guy).

Men....

Sounds to me, like everything worked out as it was intended. He wanted open, he got open. Can’t put the genie back in the bottle!

If he has any chance of saving the marriage, he should start wooing her again. Ask her out on a date. Do little things to make her happy. Buy her gifts. Lord knows the other guys are likely doing that for her, so now he'll need to compete. That's what happens when you tell your wife you want to f**k other women. He's an idiot.

Most of the time open marriages don't work, in my experience. I only know one, and they both have a voracious sexual appetite. They also rarely play alone, I guess more swingers that agree to occasionally do things by themselves

I'm going through this right now, I have been in a thirty year marriage .He thought that it would be easy. I am financially stuck right now and have a roommate thing happening with my husband I even encourage him to go out but well it is what it is.

I'm so glad I'm not in a situation where my s.o. would suggest something like this.

It's never not hilarious and satisfying when these situations inevitably end like this. The self-delusion of the people who want an open marriage only to be hit with the reality that, no, they're not a desirable as they think they are. "My partner let themselves go...but I definitely did not" is such a hilarious self-owning blindspot.

Littleorangemonkeys, there is a third option here — couples counseling. Dum-dum OP might actually learn something.
