A Marriage Ultimatum
I've been married for 11 years and thought everything was fine, but my wife recently dropped a bombshell: she's been sexually dissatisfied for the past seven years and wants to either open our marriage or end it.
She presented me with two options: agree to an open marriage or consider ending our relationship. My suggestions to attend couples' therapy have been dismissed.
My options are either to allow her to open the marriage or to end it.
This situation is disturbing due to its surprise nature - there were no prior indications of dissatisfaction or interest in an open relationship.
Usually, a conversation would precede such a significant decision, but in this case, it seems like an ultimatum.
