So not only do you choose not to be monogamous, you cannot comprehend the concept of monogamy at all?

Maybe for her it isn't a benefit.

Not every is interested in just plain casual sex. Some only do it with someone they have known a good bit, and feel some emotional connect to already. But again, that's iif you know her history, and she hasn't been one to sleep around. Or maybe she grew and changed, and is no longer interested in casual sex with different people. You can't say "Well, I am doing it, so she is too." or "She should be." She's not you.
I don't know much of her sexual history, I believe she had the normal short lived relationships when she was young, then she married and then we met. Still, I believed she would take the opportunity to be with other men thanks to our open relationship. That is not the case it seems.

She was abused and nearly killed by a man she once trusted. You left your wife and three kids to become a womanizer and take advantage of vulnerable women for sex as your own benefit and you call this friendship and treat them like this. And then she suffered through a stillborn child made woth you while you were still a womanizer. You call this an open relationship.

You expect her to be someone to be as clueless as you are and use men for sex, too. After all shes been through and you wonder why shes not throwing herself at men to be used up some more? She already communicated that its not something fun for her for obvious reasons so wtf you talking about. Clealy youre not that close or good of a friend to her as you make it seem or you would know that.

Youre wrong on so many levels.

I don't know that many women who like to sleep around with random men. And given this woman's background and history, I would especially expect that she would take extreme care with her body and heart. I agree with the posters who noted that you don't seem to really know her at all.

I can understand if this kind of relationship doesn't work for everyone but it does for us. What's wrong with it?

maybe the fact that she's not interested in having other guys in addition to you should tell you that it's working better for you than for her. She told you that you didn't know her very well if you thought she'd be ok with having other men on the side. Maybe you should think about what that means.
