My husband’s life is a whirlwind of business meetings, international travel, and the constant demands of being a successful entrepreneur. He’s often too busy to be present in the ways a husband might traditionally be, and he knows it. It’s not something he denies or makes excuses for; instead, he’s faced the reality of his limitations with honesty and practicality.

To compensate for the times when his schedule keeps him away, he proposed something unconventional. He arranges for other men to visit me, men who can meet my needs when he cannot. But that’s not all—he asks me to record these encounters and share the videos with him. At first, I was taken aback by the suggestion. It felt unorthodox, even strange. But as we talked it through, I began to understand his perspective.

For him, this wasn’t just about ensuring I was fulfilled. It was about staying connected to me in a way that transcended physical distance. Watching the recordings, he says, gives him a sense of closeness, a way of experiencing a part of my life that he otherwise would have missed. It’s his way of making sure I feel seen and appreciated, even when his work takes him far from home.

Oddly, this honesty has strengthened our marriage. We’ve built a bond rooted in trust and open communication, free from judgment or pretense. It’s not a traditional setup, but it works for us. Love, after all, isn’t about following the rules—it’s about finding what truly works for both people involved.
