First time here, and total noob nonmonogamist.
Over the past year or so, my wife (I'll call her V) and I have been exploring the idea of dating a third (f), but not much has happened on that front. Dating apps have been more or less fruitless and where we live doesn't seem to have many people who are interested in dating a couple. Fair play, there are tons of potential problems that come with that dynamic. Over time, V has gradually lost interest in the idea, saying she's "not fussed" if we do or don't pursue it. She asked if I was still hoping to explore it, to which I said: "I think if both of us aren't 100% into it, then we shouldn't bother pursuing it any further"
A bit of back and forth later, she asked if I wanted to date solo. I'd never really considered it as an option but she said if there's something about dating other women that would fulfil one or more desires/fantasies/whatever, then I should consider it.
We've been married for 7 years, together for a couple more and we have (generally) a great relationship.
NGL, the idea of seeing other women casually is kinda exciting, but I think there could be a lot of emotional fallout from it that I'm worried could damage my relationship with V. I think we communicate pretty well, so I don't see that being a problem, and she's not a super jealous or possessive type so I guess I could see it working in some respects but I'm really not sure how to proceed, if at all.
Advice would be greatly appreciated!
