Reader is not sure about the future with his bi- curious fiancee

- JEANNE PHILLIPS

Dear Abby: My fiancee and I are in our early 50s. We dated for two years and have been engaged for three months. She’s a wonderful lady, and I can’t imagine life without her.

I knew she was bi-curious a year ago when she told me one of her married female co-workers was flirting with her and she kind of enjoyed it. Since then, their relationsh­ip has grown, and they get together every couple of weeks for intimacy in our home. They have even asked me to join them, which I haven’t done yet.

My fiancee insists she isn’t a lesbian or bisexual and what she and her friend are doing is innocent fun, but I’m not so sure. So far, I haven’t made an issue of it and go to bed at my usual time when her friend visits so they can have their fun. But have I opened Pandora’s box by being so agreeable?

She promises no romantic feelings are involved, that her friend is no threat to our relationsh­ip and the two of them are just blowing off steam. Our love life is great, and she says nothing can replace us in the bedroom. Should I continue to look the other way? Or is this a fork in the road that could lead to a life of “anything goes”?

Dear Confounded: This is not happening because you “allowed” it. It is happening because this is what your fiancee feels she needs. Not knowing her, I can’t predict where she is on a Kinsey scale — a one being entirely heterosexu­al and a 10 being entirely homosexual. At this point, I don’t think she can either.

Unless you are comfortabl­e with the idea of living this way, I urge you to have a very long engagement because it is anybody’s guess how this will turn out. The three of you are all consenting adults, so I won’t judge.
