I understand that it's risky, but perhaps you should try to be more communicative, else you are hiding part of your life from H, and he from you. If you could freely speak to each other about your respective lovers and adventures that would help solidify emotional ties and mutual trust.
I once had a live-in GF who took on a lover when I was absent on business. When I returned, she was unwilling to dump the OM, so I gave the "open relationship" thing a try. It went surprisingly well for us, in part because we were completely open and honest with each other - she could tell me everything - a lot more than what she could tell the OM - so emotionally we became closer and more attached. I was surprised not to feel jealous; sex with her intensified and become more enjoyable (perhaps I put more effort and attention to it knowing that I wanted to compare favorably with the OM). Eventually the OM realized he was not getting anywhere with her, so he dumped her and we returned to a more "normal" relationship.
