Well its a hard call
When the wife and I had bedroom issues we tried swinging for a couple of years {approx 10yrs ago} - watching initially and then some light playing, we did a full swap once and she wasnt keen to repeat, watching and shagging next to coiuples got us very horny and worked wonders in the bedroom for a few of years.
Now its a bit flat again {menopause etc} my wife encourages me to go for a "massage", she has no issue with me having a massage and HE, she doesnt know about the FS occasionally but I am more of a massage and HE nowadays {over 60 and struggle if you know what i mean} 25yrs together and talk about what we both need and want etc etc - works for us
I went down a similar road with swinging etc, the insane jealousy and " Til death do us part " attitude, along with detective skills to beat the current bunch of Met Detectives

, meant the compromise you have was never going to happen.
Communication and understanding plays a big part, I failed, you have not, by understanding I mean, a ticking body clock, childbirth, rearing children, menopause, mean life is very different for women.
I often read on here, it is YOUR assets that keep you together, women marry for money and security,Life is set up for the male to be the breadwinner, but it takes two to rear a family and build a home

, the female is the one with an interrupted career, or stay at home mum, forgotten by those with mysogonistic tendencies

On a side note, over 60 is not old these days, currently, after 10 years alone save a few FWB things, in a very strong healthy and fun relationship with a 34 year old. Who was told from the start, I have been paying for sex, and monogamy is not part of the deal.
