Silicon Valley's Thomas Middleditch reveals swinging 'saved his marriage' to wife Mollie Gates
The actor, who plays a California-based techie in the show, revealed that his marriage with wife Mollie Gates was saved because of their 'swinging' lifestyle.
Popular sitcom Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch has got candid and is sharing intimate details about his love life. The actor, who plays a California-based techie in the show, revealed that his marriage with wife Mollie Gates was saved because of their 'swinging' lifestyle. In a candid interview to Playboy, Thomas revealed that they kept things "non-traditional". He said, "I don't know how much I can say, because I don't want my wife to be mad at me." Thomas, who has been married to Mollie Gates since 2015, said, "Only after I got married was I like, 'Mollie, I'm sorry, but we have to get nontraditional here.'
However, unlike the majority this did not freak his wife out. Thomas revealed she was like, "'Let's figure this out.'" He added, "To be honest, swinging has saved our marriage. We have different speeds, and we argue over it constantly, but it's better than feeling unheard and alone and that you have to scurry in the shadows."
Thomas also shed light upon the term 'swinging' majority of the people in the dark. "By the way, it's now called being 'part of the lifestyle.' The term swinging is old," the actor revealed. He, however, clarified that this wasn't their idea of a marriage initially. "Mollie and I have created our own rules, and compared to most of the people we've met who do this kind of s**t, our rules are strict. We're not off on our own; we're together, a unit. It's a perpetual state of management and communication," said Thomas.
