He was fired from his job three years ago, so he took a job in the Persian Gulf and we agreed to try a long-distance “modern marriage”. It’s a don’t ask, don’t tell situation where we can explore other relationships, as long as they don’t threaten our marriage. It works for me, as I’ve always had a higher sex drive than my husband.



I date younger men in the belief they’ll eventually want to settle down with someone their own age, but what works in theory doesn’t always work out in practice. I began a relationship with a university student soon after my husband left to work overseas. I haven’t seen him exclusively but he’s been faithful to me for three years, even though he’s fully aware of my situation.

He’s just as smitten as he was when we first slept together. He’s handsome, smart, funny and mature for this age and the age difference isn’t that apparent. Our sex life is great and that means a lot to me.

Since his graduation, we’ve been living together at his flat and we have a set of friends we hang out with, none of whom know I’m married. However, I worry I’m wrecking my lover’s youth. Do I stay with him until my husband’s contract is up in another three years or let him go to find someone his own age? .
