My husband and I have been married 25 years and we have an open relationship. Up until now we've only just had the occasional fling, and none of our friends, all long-time married monogamous people, know that we are open. Now my husband has a girlfriend and we are both very happy about that situation, but here's the problem. Next week he's taking his girlfriend to see a band. We just learned that a close friend of one of our close friends is going too. These people are all long-time married monogamous people. So what to do when the friend sees the husband and girlfriend out at the band? Husband doesn't want to pretend the whole night that they are just friends and not be able to dance close, or even just hold hands. Should he tell the friend right when they meet, this is my girlfriend, my wife knows and it's cool? That would be awkward and weird. Should he just act how he wants and not worry that someone thinks he's cheating? That's a drag. And friend might tell our friend, and we would hate for them to think husband is a cheater and feel sorry for me. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
In my opinion you should be honest
It's the easiest and the best solution. There is nothing to be ashamed of, so I don't think it will be awkward if you tell your friends what is going on. Maybe call them before the concert and tell them in advance that your husband is bringing a girlfriend?
