DEAR DEIDRE: LIVING with my partner and allowing each other to have sex with other people used to work well for us. I have a friend who I see for regular sex hook-ups and my boyfriend also has a different partner. I’m a big fan of open relationships and think they can keep your relationship fresh.
But now I think we both know if we aren’t careful, we could quite easily have an emotional affair. In the last year sex with my partner has waned dramatically. Whenever I bring up the issue he brushes it off.

co.uk I feel so unwanted. I am 32 and my partner is 34.
We have been together for almost ten years but for more than half that time we’ve been non-monogamous. The arrangement was working brilliantly, we’d have our own separate adventures, then come back together. It was such a turn-on knowing we’d been intimate with different people.
But a big shift has come over the last couple of years. We have always enjoyed a party and both started to drink more heavily. After a year of piling on weight I decided to kick the habit.
I’m back to drinking a couple of times a week now but my partner drinks most nights and it’s killing his libido. I’ve start.
