A "free pass"???

Ladies, have you ever given your man a free pass to have sex with one random stranger? Apparently this is not uncommon. I don't want my DH to expect it later in our marriage. I am not that type of girl.

Re: A "free pass"???

  • Who TF told you this was 'not uncommon'? Unless you're in an open relationship, it is not cool to expect random sex with someone else. Just... no. Ridiculous.

    I have only heard of a 'free pass' in reference to sleeping with a celebrity. Which is pretty much just something you talk about and not actually do, for obvious reasons. 

  • Ummm... no.  "Not uncommon"?  You know some weird people.

    And what's the difference between now and later in your marriage?

    This is weird.

  • Not uncommon? Where are you getting this information from? 

    No. I would not give MH a free pass to have sex with some random stranger. That's crazy.

  • Ditto PP wtf told you this is "not uncommon"?!?!?! Somebody that wants an excuse to cheat on their spouse?

    I'm a very mean wife, I expect my husband to sleep with me and only me. I also expect him to not want to sleep with anybody that isn't me.


    I'm more than willing to start validating people's ideas when they start having ideas worth validating

    I guess I am an out of touch old frigging fart...because I have NEVER heard of this at all.

    Holy crap.

    Please don't tell me he is the one who came up with this novel concept of a "free pass." I'd "free pass" him right out the window; you'd do the wise thing by doing the same.

    He's a dirtbomb for dreaming this one up. Get rid of him.

  • Uh, no. No I haven't.
  • The only place this might be common is in movies.  Loving relationships are between two people.  There is no reason to add a third.
  • My wife and I have a "free pass" to have sex with a random stranger if that stranger is going to give us at least a million dollars to allow my wife to become a part time worker.

     As for any other type of "free pass" I have not heard of that before unless it is something that big city people are doing.

  • You just have to stick to your guns. If you don't want him to do it, then don't let him. He will get over it or move on...
  • Nope, not acceptable.  Although we each have 2 celebrities we can get a free pass for, but we both know it will never happen.

    Tell him to quit watching the movie "Hall Pass." It's a movie, not real life.

  • Nope. And I won't be.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Yeah...not sure who told you that, but no that is not a common thing.
  • If he asks you for one just mention that you get one as well. That should burst his little bubble.
  • I have a free pass for Matt Damon.   One day..... ;-)  (But seriously, no.)

  • What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas -- except an STD.

    The entire idea of a "free pass" gives me the creeps.

    I guess I must be very mean too! 

    I have only heard of this in movies.   

  • See and now I will stick my neck out there and tell you that there are millions of open relationships in the world. 

    You just need to decide if its something your ok with?

    My husband and I are in an open relationship, we are so beyond in love with eachother and open about absolutely everything. We have NO secrets whats so ever!

    Open relationships are def not for everybody, esp those that require complete doting 100% of the time......and to be honest a free pass is just going to wet his desire for more and if you cant handle that, I wouldn't open that can of worms!

  • Free Passes are a load of .... well you know. It's an excuse to cheat. If you aren't happy in your marriage, you should obviously just get out!

    Not that either of us would be ok with another person sleeping with either of us - no. In fact, hell no. 
    DH & I have a 'celebrity pass', but that celebrity has to be on our doorstep. I don't even want to sleep with mine, I just want to sit him on my couch, topless, and listen to him talk in that Scottish brogue. Gerard Butler is mine, Kate Beckinsale is DH's, and he's pretty much said the same thing. He just wants to listen to her accent and stare at her lustfully, not actually touch her. We're very dull people. 
    :)
  • We have celebrity "free passes" but thats about it.


    Neither of us are even remotely interested in sleeping with other people anyway. . . . .its not worth the damage to the relationship it would inevitably do. Besides I'm legitimately not interested in anyone else. Like - even a little. And he has said neither is he (except for Scarlett Johanssen . . . see above. . . . haha)
  • There is no such thing as a "free pass" in the singular form. You either have an open relationship or you do not. And it has to be equal and comfortable and something that is revisited with all of life's changes.
