It's terrible to lose a friend like that. Well, maybe you don't need them if they're going to see you as bad people.
As noted, your sexuality does not affect your children. Good parents are good parents. End of story. Actually, it's good to model a stable mature marriage to children.
You two do seem to have a good marriage. Congratulations! There are hordes of people who would love to have a spouse who is that devoted and in love and respecting of them.
It's true that open marriages don't work for everybody but it does work for some of us..... I'm guessing that woman's discomfort comes from within. Either she wishes she had the nerve to admit an attraction for someone other than her husband or she's nervous about the state of her marriage. I think it was KB who brought up the idea of projection. We see in others (and are annoyed by) what we most fear to see in ourselves.
Actually, you haven't said if your marriage is open or exclusive to the two of you. Just because one is bisexual doesn't mean anything other than an attraction. What action is taken varies greatly.
Hang in there- we love both of you!
