Thanks LFW. I am loving the new way my wife and I communicate. It's only 7am here but my wife is texting me (from the next room over) about potential red flags she noticed yesterday that she wouldn't have brought up in the past. And it's all little things that I've just done in the course of my day that are innocent and yet I've not realised they could be construed as hiding something. It's an eye opener and I'm glad my wife is telling me of these concerns.

As for opening up the marriage, I accidentally omitted the fact my wife fantasy about a threesome is just that, a fantasy. She voiced the same concerns as me about trust and said it would not be a thought unless she could trust me. The first time she brought it up I read up on threesomes and marriage and I read that boundaries had to be put in place. It's not something I think will honestly come up but I know if it does it will come from a place of trust within her and will be dealt with properly. That's not to say that we'll ever go ahead with it but I think we've both learned our lessons.
