AITA for allowing my wife to have a "hall pass" after I became paralyzed?
After a devastating car accident left me paralyzed and unable to perform sexually, my wife and I struggled to find a solution to meet her needs.
In September 2021, a car accident left me paralyzed at 30. My wife, pregnant at the time, has been incredibly supportive ever since.
Our marriage faced a new challenge when I couldn't fulfill my wife's sexual needs due to my paralysis, leading to a strain on both of us.
"It was taking a toll on her...not getting to have actual s*x was destroying her mental health."
After discussing various options, we agreed to a "hall pass" for my wife, allowing her to seek a consistent FWB after meeting specific criteria.
"I felt like a failure for not being able to do what she needed me to do."
My wife found a respectful FWB, and their arrangement has brought back pleasure into her life.
🏠 The Aftermath
Since implementing the "hall pass," my wife has found fulfillment and our relationship has remained strong.
She spends time with her FWB every other weekend, maintaining a respectful and efficient dynamic.
This arrangement has provided both of us with a sense of peace and understanding.
"I'm just happy to see my beautiful sweet wife find some pleasure again :)"
While unconventional, this setup has brought unexpected harmony to our lives.

Reactions to our unconventional arrangement have varied, with some understanding the unique circumstances and others questioning the boundaries of our relationship.

"I can see how this arrangement could bring happiness back to your marriage."
"I'm not sure I could handle this level of openness in my own relationship."
Mixed responses have highlighted the complexity of navigating intimacy in challenging circumstances.
