My husband Louis Ntritsos had moved from Greece to London to live with me — and this is when the cracks started to show.

Up until then we had enjoyed a long-distance relationship for four years. But now we were arguing about everything from money to work and our sex life dwindled.

I felt suffocated and missed the excitement you get from new love. 

Restless and bored, I brought up the idea of an open relationship.

Naively, I believed “free love” could reignite our relationship. Louis was terrified that if I started sleeping with another man I would prefer him. But he reluctantly agreed. 

I reasoned that having an open marriage would be better than cheating on one another.

It was a few months later when I went on my first date — with a former flame. As I slipped into my little black dress I could see the panic spread on Louis’ face. 

Planting kisses on him, I told him not to worry and that I loved him and would always be his.

GRAND GESTURE

I secretly bought my parents their dream home – mum was in tears, I’m only 20

Around this time — about a year into our marriage — Louis moved back to Greece to work as a sports instructor for the summer. We agreed I would visit regularly. 

Our open marriage rules were simple: Always be honest with one another. 

So, when I slept with my ex I called him straight away. 

 I imagined him on the beach chatting up girls in bikinis. But he said he wasn’t interested in cheating and didn’t want other women.

So our “open relationship” was in reality one-sided. Louis hated thinking of me with other men. But even though he was crazy with jealousy he didn’t ask for a divorce. 

He just became more miserable and couldn’t get over the fact I’d slept with another man.

I confessed I still had feelings for my ex and we’d grown close, which made him feel more insecure. He couldn’t understand how I could love two men at the same time.

Although he admitted to kissing other women, he told me he’d never had sex with them. 

But the tables turned when I found out that he had been sleeping with someone else, too. 

A friend showed me a loved-up photo of him. He was forced to come clean — and I was heartbroken. 

Yes, it was my idea to have an open relationship but I felt betrayed because he had lied and hidden it from me. It went against the rules. I felt humiliated. 

We separated for two years, remaining friends, but the trust was lost. Then in 2017, I went on holiday to Rhodes and we rekindled our love. 

Due to the long distance, we tried an open relationship again. But this time I made it clear there were to be no secret girlfriends. 

He agreed and for the first time in years I felt hopeful about our future. We were planning on having a baby, even.

But my happiness was crushed when one year into our reunion I found out he’d been sleeping with another British girl. 

What’s more, she didn’t respect the idea of a polyamorous marriage and wanted us to break up. She was also in a relationship and her boyfriend didn’t know about the affair. 

Unbeknown to me, she had been flying from Manchester to Greece to see Louis. I was furious.

I made him show me all of the messages they had exchanged. As I scrolled through them, I felt sick.

Not only had they been secretly seeing each other for the best part of two years but he’d told her he was in love with her and they were planning to stay together — in a monogamous relationship. 

Furious, I filed for divorce. How could he be trying for a baby with me when he was planning a future with her? We have remained good friends but our divorce was finalised in December 2019. 

It felt like a new beginning.

Now I’m living in Willenhall, West Mids, and working as a comedian.

I’m single and dating. But I’d never entertain an open relationship again. The experience has scarred me. 

I only want one man now and I hope I’ll be enough for him.

For those thinking of an open relationship, my message is, think twice. I blame myself for my husband’s infidelity.

Love isn’t about rules, it’s about honesty and respect. The love between two people is precious — and so easy to destroy.

Louis, 37, from Kos, Greece, says: “It was hard when Samantha asked me for an open relationship. I was afraid of losing her and wanted her to be happy. 

“But she told me it would make us stronger. In the end I agreed but deep down I was worried. 

“When I watched her get ready for her first date I felt very jealous. It was crazy and I didn’t want to know what they got up to. 

“I didn’t see any other women for the first year. Then I met this girl and we started sleeping together. Samantha thinks I cheated on her but I thought I was just doing what she wanted. 

“But she told me I was doing it the wrong way because I didn’t tell her. I didn’t tell her anything because I thought I was protecting her. I was trying to be a gentleman by sparing her the details. 

“We broke up for two years and in that time I saw other women. Then when we got back together Samantha told me she wanted an open relationship again. But I should have been honest that I was seeing another woman.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 258

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
