It can be useful to see monogamy and non-monogamy as on a spectrum rather than being an either/or thing. You may find the following activity useful to help you think about what kind of relationship you prefer.

Imagine a line representing emotional closeness with monoamory (one close intimate relationship and no close relationships outside this) at one end and polyamory (multiple close relationships) at the other. Draw an X at the point on the line where you think you’d generally like to be (of course, this might alter over time). Then think about where any past and current partners would be on these scales. Are you both in the same place? Perhaps you’re in different places? Is everyone happy with where they are?

If it helps to think about specific examples, the emotional closeness continuum could include, at the far end, just having one partner you talk with about everything and nobody else who feels that close. Towards the middle it could involve having several friends who are as close to you as your partner – who you could call up at 3am or who you share something with every day. Towards the opposite end it could include a very close relationship you’ve kept with an ex-partner or staying up all night talking with a person you’ve recently met. Now do the same with physical intimacy, and imagine a line with monosexuality (no physical intimacy at all outside a main relationship) at one end and polysexuality (multiple sexual partners) at the other. At one end, it could include things like only hugging your partner and no-one else. Towards the middle might be things like being okay with fantasising about other people but not actually doing anything, or perhaps having online sex. Towards the opposite end would be the kinds of non-monogamous relationships mentioned above. The important thing to say is that there’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ place to be on these lines. Different things work for different people. If you find that you and your partner(s) are in different places then it may be good to talk things through.

What is Cheating Husband Guilt? Between one in four to five Americans have an affair in their lifetime. Among men, 68% feel guilty after having an affair. Even if they haven't confessed the affair, most cheating husbands will feel guilty and express that guilt in their behavior. You may notice subtle changes in their behavior that make you wonder if your spouse is displaying cheating husband guilt. Men are more likely to feel guilt over sexual affairs than they are over emotional affairs. This may be because men themselves view sexual fidelity as more important than emotional fidelity. Signs of Cheating Husband Guilt There are a number of signs that your husband may be feeling guilt from cheating or after an extramarital affair, including the following. Secretive Phone or Computer Use With dating and social media apps now a large part of our lives, many husbands are likely to find their affair partners online. If your husband used to leave his unlocked phone lying around unattended but now guards it closely, it could be a sign of a guilty conscience.
