Woman Negotiates A Year-Long ‘Open Marriage’ With Husband, Leaves Him For Another Man After Sexcapades

A woman, Rinaldi, who negotiated a year-long ‘open marriage’ with the husband she’d been with for 17 years and took the chance to sleep with 12 strangers has opened up about her wild year. She left her husband after the 12 months for a man she claimed to have fallen in love with.

During her year of abandon, she bedded ten men and two women, whom she picked up online, in bars and at sex classes. Rinaldi described her relationship with her husband as ‘stuck in a rut’, adding that ‘our once-a-week sex life was loving, but lacked spontaneity and passion’.

She decided to make the change after begging him for years to have a child with her, and finally realizing that he wouldn’t after he got a vasectomy. Reliving the fraught decision in her book, she wrote: ‘I refuse to go to my grave with no children and only four lovers… If I can’t have one, I must have the other’.

Under the terms of her new deal, Rinaldi took out an apartment, where she lived from Monday to Friday and would bed her conquests. But over the weekend she would go back to Mansfield, and the two would live as a married couple, without asking what the other had been doing while they were apart.

Initially, the two agreed not to sleep with mutual friends, get into any ‘serious’ relationships or have unprotected sex – but ultimately failed to stick to them. After the raucous year, Rinaldi admitted, she could not turn back. Attempts to rekindle their marriage after the year failed – and Rinaldi began sleeping with one of the men from the past year, whom she refers to by a pseudonym.

She wrote: ‘The turning point was hearing from Alden. He sent me an e-mail, out of the blue, several months after the project had come to an end. Before long, we were having sex again. Being with him was exquisite. After reconnecting with Alden and falling deeply in love with him, there was no going back.’
