Too soon for that kind of invitation at six months. Maybe it won't be too soon at two years. Maybe the next time he goes on a trip like this, you will be included. And maybe hearing that from him now about this trip that you are being excluded from in ways that kind of make sense, possibly, if you think about it from his angle, will be more tolerable for you. Anyway, lots to think about.
The person you talk about with these things that you're thinking about right now, him.

You are not the first woman I've heard from. who went to their husband, asked the husband to open the relationship. Husband agreed on the condition that it was open on both sides.

Mostly the fault for that can be laid at the feet of men who make it dangerous for women to be as impulsive sexually as men feel free to be impulsive sexually.

And what's always missing from these calls, from questions like yours, is any indication that the wife made any effort to help the husband out, which you shouldn't have to do. You shouldn't have to do that emotional or sexual labor. He should get out there on his own and Find other sex partners on his own.

That's something that he should be able to pull up his big boy pants and go and do for himself. But... It is harder for married men to find women who want to sleep with them than it is for married women to find men who want to sleep with them.

And it is, if this is where the open, the agreement that you came to, to open the relationship is going to fall apart, if this is how the wheels are going to come off it, and you're going to have to shut it back down, which you don't want to do, or you're going to have to live with an angry, wounded, hurt husband, it's in your own self-interest maybe to assist.

You know, a lot of women are uncomfortable sleeping with married men because they think they, they assume they must be lying or, uh, well, that just, they assume they must be lying about being in an open marriage and it can help that guy convince women that he is indeed in an open marriage and that his wife approves and that he is a good and trustworthy guy, uh,

If his wife is with him at the swingers event, with him at the play party, with him at the soft swamp, whatever, with him at the hotel takeover, your presence at your husband's side, which you shouldn't have to do. And again, I'm suggesting you might want to do it, not for him, for you.
