I have been married for 25 years and started transitioning MTF 2 years ago. My Cis Wife refuses to touch me because she is not lesbian and we decided to have an open marriage. Does anybody there has a similar experience?

I cannot offer you any advice on this, as my mister and I are not to the point of touching being an issue.

It is something we have talked about (even though I have always been adamant that I would never be in an open marriage) because it might allow us to keep each other while making up for the missing sexual pieces.... this would happen if me having top surgery or HRT (eventually) and the changes truly became an issue.

I hope that this works for you. I get not wanting to lose your partner. I am guessing all other parts of your marriage are going well, and it is only the sexual portion that causes stress. (besides the general stresses of transitioning anyways...)

Thanks for your comment, CrziCricket. I could not handle the stress that she goes through. I am quite happy with my sexual life, not much but great, and I am really looking foreword for the big change.
We are best friends, we have a great family and sometimes all is ok and sometimes not so but we are coping.

My wife, BFF, soul-mate, and Reality Therapist of almost 40 years and I started with an On/Off relationship in the early days. She being the free spirited Hippy-Chick, and I the staid engineering geek with a bit of a wild streak. We both already had a marriage under our belts. She never again wanted to be "Tied down" or have the government in bed with her. Par for the course of being On/Off she had other love interests in her life.

After a decade or two including a long stint of living together we made it official, got the government in bed with us, and she got health insurance. (The overwhelming reason for officialness)  One of the conditions I needed to agree to was essentially an Open-Marriage. Sex is sex, love is love. I know all too well I do not own her and absolutely truest her. I also deep down never saw her exercising that option. As time went on I learned from her that she knew doing so would just devastate me after what I went through with my ex.

Dropping the T-Bomb opened up the possibility of an open-marriage becoming a reality. "I did not marry a woman". "I like what men have and how they make me feel". "Rubber is not the same" etc.. We had many discussions about a possible "future" of us still together and her having a lover.

Today her biggest fear is over as I grow and learn more and more just who I am as a for real person, that I will leave her for man. I can't see that actually happening. Yet, between my dreams and guys looking a lot more sexier then ever.....

Fast forward a few decades to about 7 years ago when I dropped the T-Bomb on her. In time she saw how much I needed to follow that path after a lifetime of being "Just a CD" which she always knew of. In time

We have had an open marriage for most of our 20+ yrs together. There is a lot that could be said about polyamory positive and negative, enough to fill up books or at least many long blog articles. It has joys that no other forms of marriage can match but so does monogamy.

Like all relationships, the frequency, content, honesty and quality of communications is the key. Sometimes you run into blind sports where one partner wants to "protect" the other and there is information omitted etc that actually turns into dishonesty. Avoid that. That does not mean you have to be so detailed that it becomes a journal, but in general marriage means you know the most about one another and that includes partners, whereabouts etc.

The other thing is people change over time, sometimes faster than one partner thinks is possible, so make sure you check in with one another and have "staff meetings" about the relationship/family often. Don't assume, assumptions have got me and my partner into trouble more than once.

Currently my spouse has a friend in which they are together infrequently but maintain regular contact. I have a boyfriend that i see 3-4 times per week. This is causing a bit of stress for us, but sometimes that sort of thing flips around to the other partner. It's not a competition. It requires understanding and support for all.

Open marriages have no worse or better statistical survival rate than monogamous ones by most studies, although the data is not extensive and it is hard to estimate based on the wide variety of definitions and variations. Just approach it with the other person's best interests in mind as well as your own.
