My Husband Wanted to Date Other People—Now He Regrets It

Relationships evolve and sometimes break under unspoken fears and unmet needs. With open marriages and unconventional relationships becoming more common, many don’t fully understand the emotional challenges involved. One woman found herself caught in an unintended love triangle that made her question everything.
When her husband gave her an ultimatum—open marriage or divorce—she said yes out of love. At first, she hesitated to date, but eventually started seeing Ben, her husband’s best friend. What began as casual soon grew into something deeper. Then Ben confessed he had loved her long before any of this.
Her husband was devastated and angry, feeling betrayed. Later, he admitted he’d underestimated the situation and feared losing her. He wants to repair their marriage and close the open arrangement, but she’s torn. Caught between loyalty and her own feelings, she’s left wondering if either relationship can truly heal.
