“We should date other people.”I paused my video game and blinked at the screen before turning to face my wife of twelve years, who was still staring at her monitor as if she hadn't just opened the door to sleeping with someone else. “Excuse me?”“We should date other people,” she repeated, still scrolling through a web page. Part of Emily's charm was that she'd always been incredibly blunt. And as with many non-native English speakers, her fluency often left out niceties, transitions, and other bits of fluff that served to soften a topic. It made her easy to connect with and trust, but after more than a decade it was still jarring.“What? Where did this come from?” I asked, partly to buy my brain time to digest what was happening.“I don't know … I've been thinking about it for a while and I think I missed out on a lot of things in life that everyone else got to experience.”“I can't argue with that.” Emily and I married at twenty after knowing each other for six months, and she'd never slept with anyone else. I had more experience than her, but not much. “How do you see this working?”Her eyes narrowed. “You seem pretty calm about this.”“Well yeah, I've been waiting for you to get here on your own.” I'd gently suggested we open our relationship a year before and, when Emily shot the idea down, left it at “just consider it.” She'd obviously considered it, and I quickly recognized the need to tread carefully.“But I'm not sure what I'm ready for yet,” she backpedaled, “so this isn't your ticket to go hop into bed with a bunch of women.”I laughed. “Emily, that's … no, that's not what I had in mind.”“What did you have in mind?”“Honestly,” I paused to think, “I have no idea."
