POSTER'S ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS HEAVILY MODIFIED, MAKING MY RESPONSE LOOK OUT OF CONTEXT, BUT I AM STILL LEAVING MY ORIGINAL REPLY BELOW.

If that's the case, you should have married someone that shares the same belief(s) as you in those regards. It is unfair to impose YOUR ideas of what is acceptable onto someone else... especially the one you love.

If she is not comfortable with it - THAT is her choice. You should respect that choice and either (a) not pursue it further unless her views change or (b) end your relationship with her and find someone in your life that shares your views of open-relationships and multiple partners.

If my wife approached me out-of-the-blue saying that she wanted to sleep (mess-around) with other guys - and that "life was meant to be lived to the fullest" - I would say... "That's great! Let's get this whole divorce thing underway and you can get started when it's all said & done!"

That's not something you can expect ANYONE to be okay with against their will. They are either fine with it - or not.

(just my opinion)

I may be putting my own feelings into this by imagining the same happening to me, but I think it is selfish and inconsiderate to try to convince her if she has already stated her position and was honest with you. Let it go.

Peace.
