I’ve been with my fiancé, Adam, for six years, and we were set to marry next month. But during a visit to my parents, he discovered their unconventional lifestyle, which threw our relationship into chaos.
I wanted Adam to experience my childhood home one last time, but after a family dinner, everything changed when he saw my mom kissing another man. He assumed she was cheating, and despite my attempts to explain their open marriage, he felt betrayed for not knowing.
After he left for a hotel, I realized the impact of my parents’ choices on us. We later met at my grandmother’s, where we decided to seek therapy to navigate our issues and heal together. While the future is uncertain, we’re committed to working through it.
