It’s a tale as old as time: man gets bored in his marriage, asks his wife to open up the relationship, is shocked pikachu face when his wife ends up having more success finding dates and hookups than he does.
One man posted to r/TwoHotTakes detailing this exact dilemma because apparently, he hasn’t been around long enough to see this exact scenario play out countless times before. He explained that they’ve been married for 19 years and their only child recently moved out to join the army, adding, “I love my wife but I felt like the spark was gone from our lives. I didn't want to divorce her so I proposed an open marriage. She was upset initially but eventually she agreed.” Again, this is literally always how these things start - the woman reluctantly agrees to her husband’s suggestion only to beat him at his own game.
What a time it was to be alive... Back when people didn't have a single solitary care about child safety. Perhaps it was just because the need for certain protections wasn't realized yet, or maybe it was just an entire generation that was brand-new to this whole parenting gig.
These days we're all about keeping our precious little bundles of joy safe and happy until they're in their mid-20s/early-30s, at which point the shock sets in like a ton of bricks. But there was a time when babies were considered basically interchangeable with doorstoppers, and the products and (lack of) safety standards made it a wild time to be alive.
