‘I dated married man who told me his wife game – but it started getting creepy’

ENM relationships are rising in popularity.

And if you haven't heard of them before, the acronym stands for "ethically non-monogamous".

Put simply, it's an agreement between people to open up their relationships.

This can mean anything from dating other people to having casual sex with strangers.

But while the arrangement seems simple on paper, it can get quite complicated when feelings get involved.

And dating writer Jana Hocking found this to be just the case when she was in an open relationship with a married man.

Jana continued: "Then I noticed she started looking at all my Instagram stories. We didn't follow each other (that would have been TOO weird) but she did keep an eye on my online activity."

The writer decided to bring up the social media stalking on the next date – but this didn't do much to ease the awkwardness.

She felt bad for the wife, who appeared to be overly hung-up on who her hubby was dating.

Jana explained: "For me, it's like when you go on a couple of dates with a guy but you haven't' had the 'are we exclusive' chat and you're scrolling his insta late at night seeing if any other girls are in the picture.

"Been there, done that, totally get it. This however was on a much larger scale. Her husband was seeing someone else and she wanted to know all the details!

"By the time it came to locking in a fourth date, it just wasn't sitting right with me. It was feeling a little too messy and not the easy, casual relationship I was looking for.

"So I politely bowed out, and ticked 'open relationship' off my to-do list. I'm not sure where their relationship stands these days, but if I was a betting person, my odds would be on 'not good'."
