My husband and I are in a massive disagreement on what it means to be ENM. I donβt think there is one right or wrong way as long as it is rooted in honesty, but here is the issue: he wants to have an open relationship but just have 2-3 regular partners that he sees/has sex with maybe once a week (like one sexual encounter per week) at most. I on the other hand want to have many partners, usually not more than once with each person unless I am extremely impressed by them, and I would enjoy being able to do it as frequently as I please (maybe once one week, 5 times the next, etc.).
He is convinced that there is no one else like me who is not extremely fucked up in the head. Idk if there is or not, but essentially I want to be ENM so I can have sexual freedom. He would prefer if I also just had a select few partners I saw infrequently but I have no interest in that the way he does.
Is there room for compromise? Am I alone in wanting this the way I want it for myself, and respecting the way he wants it for himself? Also, is there anyone else who also has the desire for many partners (like literally the more the better because each one brings a new experience)?
