Coping with insecurity in a newly open marriage?
Post Body

Me (34f) and my wife (31f) recently opened up our marriage (about 6 months ago) and Iā€™ve found myself in this place that, while Iā€™m definitely all in - Iā€™m still having some ā€œfeelingsā€ seeing my wife form relationships with people outside of our marriage.

Iā€™ve had a few short lived flings with folks, but sheā€™s been seeing the same person for about 4 months now and theyā€™re getting very close. Which, when Iā€™m not emotional, I love to see and feel like Iā€™ve very much come into a place of compersion.

That said, there are moments (like tonight) where those feelings get the better of me and I find myself having difficulty coping.

Tonight we took a new step in our relationship, my wife is having her first sleepover with her partner. We talked about it, I gave my blessing, and everything was fine until I found out they werenā€™t sleeping at her partners place, they were staying at a luxury hotel ā€œas a treat.ā€

Apparently this was a last minute change of plans and it was communicated to me when she found out, but to a ay this has me feeling insecure would be an understatement.

My wife and I struggle financially, and Iā€™m definitely feeling insecure about someone else ā€œwining and diningā€ her in a way Iā€™m not able to.

Iā€™m doing my best to just chill - but Iā€™m looking for advice from folks whoā€™ve been in this longer than I have. How do you cope when these feelings arise?

I trust my wife, I love my wife, I want her to have a good time with her other partner but right now I am not feeling it and I just want her to come home.

Any advice would be appreciated. This post will likely be deleted at some point.
