Asking your wife for an open marriage is a ridiculous request and it stands unsubstantiated.
The wife in question was also not thought well of by others and came across as an attention seeker.
Why the heck would anyone want an “open marriage”?
If you’re that unhappy, leave.
I agree that it’s unsubstantiated. When was the last time you recorded your bedroom conversations? I expect there were only two people witness to the conversation and we’ve heard from both of them. Asking for substantiation is silly.

Personally I agree. But I don’t assume everyone is like me. Open marriages do exist; a friend of mine from college is in one. (Or was, last time we spoke. It was a number of years ago.) To assert that it’s impossible because you don’t understand it is, well, kind of ostrich-like, don’t you think?
Sorry, but that’s the way I see it. As I said, I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
