A woman came out as bisexual to her husband of nine years but remains happily married to the father of her two children whilst also dating a woman. Melanie Morton, 31, revealed she was struggling with her sexuality and broached the idea of an open marriage last year with husband A.J., 35, who she wed in January 2013. A.J. was supportive of his wife's desire to explore her sexuality - and encouraged her to go on dates with other women, even helping her to sign up to dating app Hinge. Melanie met Jackie Olson, 26, a sales and marketing assistant, in June 2021 through the app and the pair hit it off with Jackie becoming Melanie's girlfriend - before meeting A.J. and their two children, aged eight and six. While online entrepreneur A.J. is also free to date outside of their marriage, Melanie believes he is more ‘wired for monogamy’ - but the trio have successfully embarked on an open relationship, although A.J. and Jackie are 'just friends' who 'don't mind sharing'. Melanie says her kids love Jackie but so far she has only been introduced as a family friend - though Melanie plans on telling them the truth this summer. He said: “Melanie does a really good job of spending time with both of us. “There’s no jealousy at all. t’s not weird, it’s totally normal.”
