So to be totally upfront, I know nothing about this lifestyle other than what I've learnt in the last week..
To cut a very long, complicated and emotional story really short my parents came out to my brother and I at a family dinner last week..
They have been in whatever you actually call it, a hot wife relationship for like 15 years..
She's had the same boyfriend for about 8 years even though she sees other people as well..
She now wants him to be a bigger part of their lives and by default our lives and include him at dinners, birthdays etc..
Dad has apparently been celibate for the entire time.. What man doesn't have sex for 15 years and stay with that person?
It's absolutely gross to hear these things about your own parents but given I love them I'm willing to learn to see if we can salvage some sort of relationship moving forward..
It's great to say that we'll be respectful and accepting of other peoples private lives in theory but here we are living this reality and I'm struggling.. I wish they didn't tell us.. Why did they have to tell us?
How do we process this? How can I look at them the same? How can I look at her boyfriend? How can I have respect for Dad when he's being trampled over?
As I said, I'm here to learn.. Has anyone gone through the same? How did you deal with it?
I'm actually intrigued and fascinated bu this lifestyle now I know it exists but at the same time am disgusted and confused why people would want it, especially the man being essentially cheated on repeatedly..
Please be gentle on me if I've said anything offensive, it truly is unintentional..
