Sweet-thing agony auntNo it is not the next logical step in my opinion. If you were both into "swinging" it might be but it doesn't sound like you're both on board and that signals a very bad idea. You haven't really said if she wants to add another female to your bedroom, or another man. Either way, if you don't feel comfortable don't do it; you will just end up feeling weird, and it could change things between you in a bad way. There must be other things the two of you can do to spice things up that don't involve introducing other people into your bed. Why don't you do your own personal porn movie? Or meet each other at a cafe where you dress up like you are someone else, and pretend to meet and hook up. She could buy a wig and dress up really wild if she needs excitement. Have sex outdoors. Have sex at the office after hours. Just keep it between the two you and I think it'll be way more fun. xoxox

My wife and I went through this too. We have been married 20 years also. Except it was me that wanted it. After 20 years I started to wonder if I had missed out on anything. Well we had our 3 way! It was fun, exciting and different to say the least. But the thing is, it satisfied my curiousity. It was just that one time and as crazy as it all was, our marriage actually became stronger because of it. I think she's in the same boat I was in. This may or may not work out for you but my advise is to go for it.

A bit of a test could be to let a stranger photogragh or video the two of you. It may give her the spice she wants without crossing any boundaries that may be regretted later. However as mentioned if you are really not ready to go there, she should be ready to understand and be creative in other ways. But the voyeur may test where your comfort level really lies. Good luck

As long as she knows you don't want to do that she should accept the fact, rather than get you to do something that makes you unhappy. Surely that should be enough, without getting divorced?

Maybe you could spice your sex lives up in some other way. Ask her if there's anything else she'd like to do that you never have together, then you might find something new that you both like.

RaeMay agony auntit is very hurtful. and you should just tell her how you feel and that if she wants a threesome is she really willing to put your marrige in jepordy. other than that there really isn't anything else to do about it. just sit down and have a talk with her about it.

A female reader, Sweet-thing United Kingdom +, writes (29 April 2009):

Sweet-thing agony auntWow! I've heard of spicing up your sex life but I don't think I'd ever go this far!!! I am very suspicious about your wife's motives here. Could she possibly be already attracted to the man that is part of this couple she wants you to swap with? I'd be willing to bet. I think you should be honest with her, and tell her you are hurt and offended that she would suggest this. Maybe she really thinks it's something YOU would like to do. I have no idea how your sex life is at the present moment, but have a frank discussion with her and let her know how you feel. Hopefully if she loves and respects you, she'll drop it for good. After that, just sort of keep your eye on her for other weird behavior. She may be going through some kind of mid-life crisis.
