My husband kicked me out of our hotel room for a hookup. Can an open relationship go too far?
Hi Jake,My husband and I are in an open marriage and pretty liberal about it. We don’t really get jealous. There are occasional annoyances, like when he hooks up instead of sticking to plans, but overall, we prioritize communication and trust.That said… last week on vacation in Miami, he met a guy on Grindr and wanted to bring him back to our hotel room. He asked if the guy was open to both of us, but he wasn’t. Then my husband actually asked me to step out so they could have the room to themselves. Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.I was caught off guard but agreed—until I found myself wandering South Beach in the heat for two hours, waiting for the “all clear” text. That’s when frustration set in. How did I end up kicked out of my own hotel room on my own vacation?Usually, our hookups happen elsewhere, but this felt different. Am I overreacting, or did he cross a line? Do I need to set firmer boundaries to prevent this from happening again? Can an open relationship go too far?No VacancyDear No Vacancy,Ah, Miami—sun, sand, and, apparently, a long humid stroll with absolutely nowhere to go while your man enjoyed the comfort of your hotel room! Probably not the kind of relaxation you had in mind when you booked this trip…From what you’ve shared, you and your husband have built a relationship on trust, communication, and a shared understanding that being with others doesn’t threaten your bond — until now.
