How do approach the subject of open marriage with husband?

We have been married for 14 years.  He works out of town a lot and I am left home to care for house and kids.  I have no outside interests and am bored with the way our life is.  When he is home he is either on the computer, watching tv, or sleeping.  He works hard so I don't want to bug him with my problems.  He doesn't seem happy either and have noticed that he is 'friending' women on FB..chatting with them.  I haven't said anything about it to him, because I don't want to cause problems.

Unaccepting of new experiences

My loving boyfriend, who is the most wonderful person, reacts very negatively whenever I try something new in bed. The other night, he was too tired for sex, so I decided to try and masturbate with him in bed beside me. But instead of being turned on or participating, he turned away and said that it was weird. This reaction really upset me and I told him and he apologized, but it wasn't the first time his reaction in bed upset me. Once when I introduced new lube, he said that it was too sticky.

Give Advice: We Have Different Fetishes

Me and my boyfriend are attracted to two completely separate things. He's into blood, piercings, and tattoos while I myself like exploration of the body. Problem is, I completely think his fetishes are gross and he thinks mine are disgusting as well. Can we still have a successful sex life?

Trusting after lies ... do I stay or do I go ...

My husband and I got married 4 1/2 years ago. We had our first daughter 2 weeks before our first anniversary and now have two little girls.

After marrying, I found out that my husband wasn't in the military as he had said. He told me that he went to Iraq and was shot and spent time in Germany. In all reality, he was in the military for less than a year and went out on medical.

I later found out that he never graduated high school and instead spent a year in jail.
