The article was really clear... Buddy was having a crisis of conscious because his wife expressed interest in having sex with other men exemplified by this:
Monogamy meant I controlled her sexual expression, and, not to get all women’s-studies major about it, patriarchal oppression essentially boils down to a man’s fear that a woman with sexual agency is a woman he can’t control.
This is buddy justifying a position, that's all. That said, if they are bored with each other, so be it, but at least be mature enough to recognize this.
Everyone else on the planet gets their fill of tom-catting around before they commit to children, a mortgage, a career, etc.... Maybe they married too young and now want all of those 'experiences' after the fact... Fine by me, but have the stones to call it exactly what it is.
PS - spare me the horsesh*t in the sad little attempt in justifying your position by referring to me a a homophobe... It's akin to screaming about Nazism when you have no argument... So, deliver a point or just piss off
