Husband likes to have spontaneous encounters, not exactly where he is on the ENM spectrumā¦ Iām Polyamorous and have a BF.
Husband does not need my consent to go cruising. But I expect him to communicate at the moment he knows heās going to hookup with someone. (Few reasonsā¦ safety, attunement, basic communication of oneās intentions)
Struggling with his spontaneous behavior. Not interested in controlling him. I want to practice safer sex practices and good hygiene - including informed consent.
Heās not been meeting my expectation in being transparent and communicative. I find out way after the fact. And I have to ask for enough information to understand what even transpired.
So, for example, Iāll come home and give him a kiss on the lips. And then moments later he decides to share that he was āwith someoneā an hour earlier. I have to ask questions to find out what happened. Come to find thereās kissing and unprotected oral sex.
This keeps happening. Heāll go out cruising and Iāll find out about it after. And I no longer feel safe having unprotected sex or even kissing him at this point. Because I want to protect my BF and my own health from what I view as somewhat destructive behavior.
I feel wrong for maintaining a physical boundary because Iām missing out on a physical connection I otherwise enjoy. But for my safety, my gut says to limit sexual contact until thereās some trust restored.
Am I overthinking here? Am I missing something?? TIA!
