I came out to my wife the other night. It wasn’t a complete surprise and she was relieved that I just wasn’t attracted to her.

We decided to stay in an open marriage. Because we are best friends and I can go after guys finally and she can have whoever she’d like. We cried, hugged, and decided this was the best thing for us because we don’t want to completely split.

Anyway, I came out to my mom because us three are really close and she is super close to our 3 year old.

She did not handle it well at all. She accused me of wasting my wife’s time and that I needed to get mental help. I asked her not to tell anybody. She then went out onto the patio in the apartment complex and called my uncle. She starts screaming and crying on the phone telling him. We made her come inside and she acted like she was going to throw up. Created a big scene.

We left and she told my wife I need help and I’m a lazy piece of shit who needs a new counselor because Mine isn’t doing a good job (she is).

Today she called off work, told us it’s because us and she only slept a few hours and has a migraine. My sister in law texted her and told her that she needs to be supportive of us. Mom then called me cry hysterically saying she loves me but she’s done trying.

I have no idea how this effects her. My wife and I are happy about it and still love our little family. Even if it doesn’t work we will still always be friends.

Any advice or should we let it pass?
