Husband Proposes Renewing Vows, Wife Takes It As A Chance To Sleep With Other Men In A 'Relationship Reboot'
He wanted romance, but his wife wanted freedom before renewing their vows.
A married man thought it would be a good idea to suggest renewing his vows with his wife of 10 years. He couldn’t have prepared himself for how his wife responded.
When they initially tied the knot back in 2015, they didn’t do everything they could have. That has been a constant complaint of his wife's ever since.

When he mentioned the idea of the couple renewing their vows, his wife was all in on it. She wanted to go all out for the new nuptials.

In fact, she wanted to hit the reset button on their entire relationship. That includes running out and banging other men before they exchange the second round of I dos.
Don't worry, she's not being selfish here. She wants him to go out and sleep with other women too, because nothing says you chose the right one like sleeping around before renewing your vows. That adds to the romance of it all.
Husband’s vow renewal idea sparks wife’s wild plan for "relationship reboot"
"Last month I suggested renewing our wedding vows next February. I thought it would be a nice thing to do. But she has gone completely over the top and the whole idea is getting out of hand," the suddenly distraught husband told the Daily Star.
"I imagined a small service in a local hotel with close friends. I thought a dozen of us would enjoy a quiet meal before adjourning to a pub. But my wife is going full pelt with a massive occasion which is costing a fortune."
His wife's plans for the renewal are taking a toll on their finances too. She's plundering their savings "like a drunken pirate" — his words, not mine.
She wants to make up for everything she missed out on the first time around with the ceremony and in the bedroom. That's another way of saying she's had her eye on someone for a while now.
"She feels she was rushed into our first ceremony and that she didn’t get a chance to sow her wild oats. Therefore, she’s proposing a total relationship reboot starting from now," he added.
"In her mind we’re single people again and all normal rules are relaxed. What am I supposed to say when I started this in the first place?"
What can he say really? He did get the ball rolling on this whole thing.
He should have known that mentioning renewing their vows was going to lead to talk of a relationship reboot. That's on him.
All he can do is embrace the unexpected freedom with the same level of enthusiasm as his wife is, then renew those vows, and wait a few years before she's begging him to do it all over again. This is love.
