My wife (53f) and I (55m) have a very good marriage, and our communication has gotten much stronger over the past five years or so. We identified that as an issue for us, and it’s been rewarding to make progress on that.
As I’ve become more open, I find myself more willing and curious to discuss marriage topics, particularly intimacy and other traditionally “private” matters, with others who are in a similar boat. I have hesitated to talk about these things with my close friends, though, because it can be awkward to open up about your sex life with a person who knows your wife. It just feels odd and potentially problematic.
My question for this group is, have you had success in discussing intimate aspects of marriage with close friends? Am I overthinking this? Alternatively, have you found other ways to compare notes and improve your marriage through discussions with others in similar situations?
