She practically made a bullet point list for “how I fucked up” and “reasons he’d be against polyamory” and still had the balls to ask “what did I do wrong?”
Women also know that their man generally won't benefit from the open relationship,guys can't just go out and get some taco,but girls can go out and get sausage in no time. If he agreed and came home with a total bombshell the day after,she'd be begging to close the relationship real quick.
@@thelonesurvivor3955 There was actually a reddit post a year or two back of a woman who found out their boyfriend was bi, after she suggested an open relationship, and he started bringing back different gay dudes every night to bang in their bed. 🤣
As someone who has been cheated on in the past, good on this dude for immediately breaking it off he deserved better and obviously this girl was too delusional to realize that
@@nonono777 not that she admitted no. But most people won't admit to it either, I think what Ditzy meant though it's that it's a good thing the guy got out when he did because usually, not always, if someone waits until they're in a relationship for that long to even discuss the idea, they've already cheated or are going to do it whether or not the answer is no. It's a tactic to be seen as not guilty because they had "permission" or because they already feel guilty for their actions, whether they admit it or not. Again, not always, but a good chunk of the time
This is something I've seen numerous times. When I was in my early twenties I've had women lie on me, lie to me, and other things. Then two years later they hit you up out of nowhere, apologizing and once they get that forgiveness they block you because you've absolved them of their conscious.
@Protocol 7 there are different form of it, usually its where the female sleeps with whoever they want whenever they want, while the male lays on the floor in a ball and tries not to cry too loudly
I love how she paraphrases his opinion on girls who sleep around in a way that clearly proves he would never be ok with it, and yet she is still confused that he isn't ok with it.
He handled it spectacularly. A direct and clean cut separation of a relationship that was no longer for him. Hope all parties involved get everything they deserve.
That's an overreaction and not how to deal with relationships. You talk and figure out if you can make things work Then if it's really unsalvageable you break up.
I think if they were to get what they deserve the girl would realize she made the mistake (which for the most part she seems to already know), and for the guy to forgive her and end up still loving her. She messed up and as long as she understands that she deserves a second chance
>beloved by family and friends >thinks arguing is a waste of time, always aims to talk things out >lays out rules in the relationship along with likes/dislikes >hates cheaters >dumps girl on the spot for considering open relationship Damn, king...his game too powerful for today's times. Dude managed to keep his balls intact. Here's to a real man that can find a queen deserving of him.
No wonder he dropped her. She is the exact thing he's against. She's pretending to be innocent/acting like she doesn't know what she did wrong all the while listing the exact things she did wrong. The exact things he HATES in a partner, she is. It's like she went through the grocery list and checked everything before saying "I think that's everything, time to ask if it's ok to enter the next step of our relationship!"
"I want to experiment" this term can go from playing football and Trying out chess to straight up cheating You could say she wanted to sleep around and was acting innocent
@@AmaryInkawult dang 11 years ancient dinosaur and the pfp represents that haha Get it cause y'know?...yeah it's stupid now that I re-read it BUT I STICK TO MY COMMENT
I had the opposite happen to me. Me being the woman and my then boyfriend wanting to open the relationship after six years. All because a drunken woman called him a "sexy nerd" in some online MMO he was playing. This was apparently enough to have this epiphany that it was selfish to be with only one person and everyone should get an equal chance if they're genuinely in love. A bunch of bullshit. Thankfully I'm married to a much better person now.
I empathize with you, but I had to laugh at his reason for wanting an open relationship. A drunk woman told him he was a sexy nerd in a videogame?! That’s all it took?
Open relationships or polyamorus relationships need to be discussed AT THE BEGINNING of the relationship. Discuss it, set boundaries etc. If you ALREADY KNOW YOUR PARTNER IS MONOGAMOUS don't bring it up! Especially after you've been in a relationship for a while, that's going to destroy the relationship, ruin the trust, and make the involved parties upset. Just like how everything else is talked about before the relationship starts, the idea of polyamory or open relationships needs to be talked about at the same time. If you wait to mention it until you're years into a stable relationship it's going to to ruin it, and most of the time at that point, the one who suggested it has already cheated or will do it regardless. It's more often than not a tactic to seem like less of a shitty person when they've already done something horrible.
Agreed, its just like getting a permission to cheat like a cheat pass, if it was asked in the begining then itll be okay, BUT IF ITS 5 YEARS OR MORE THEN WTFF WHY U BROUGHT IT, SHE HAD A PERFECT LIFE AND SHE RUINED IT IN FEW SECONDS SHES A IDIOT
Let me stop your right there. Not at the beginning. YOU DISCUSS FUNDIMENTAL, RELATIONSHIP AFFECTING SHIT LIKE THAT BEFORE ENGAGING IN ONE. So many relationships break apart and people get hurt because of this: religion kids or no kids pets poly mono etc.. you need to have talked about that stuff
@@Daffodillon thank you, you're right. My wording was funky, I'll admit. By at the beginning I meant whenever y'all start discussing the idea of a relationship, but I can see where that can mean something else. Point still stands, these are ALL topics that need to be discussed before the relationship is started or official or any of that
Story time: I had this coworker, chick in her 30s. Same type of situation, an open relationship with her husband. They got two kids together and got an expensive house together in a expensive lake side view neighborhood. First I gotta say is she’s a 2/10 at best, a real hefty girl. She openly sees other men while being with her husband. Husband understands the open relationship. A lil bit about him, went to school for engineering, has rich parents, handsome fit dude, really stay at home playing pc games dude. Like she was set with this dude. So she starts dating a BUNCH of other guys, so he starts to date his 1st other woman. A real hottie, nice body and likes the things he likes. He then regularly goes on dates with her. Wife sees this hottie and gets annoyed. She tells him not to see her anymore, and I’m like but you asked him and you did it first. In the end from what I heard she got insanely jealous and felt like she was losing him. Goes to show that some woman only care about doing what they want and not care about the morality in things.
I had a girlfriend for 4 years. One day she sugested an open relationship. Actually I was interested on the idea of sleeping with another girls, but then she suddenly said "but you can't sleep with that one friend of yours. Nor that one. Because I'm jealous of them". And I was like "wait, it's an open relationship but you want to choose who I can or can't sleep with?" She tried to justify with arguments that obviously didn't make any sense. It obviously didn't work and we ended up breaking up.
What she says: "we've been an item for 5 years, and I know you're very monogamous, but do you think we could try an open relationship?" What he hears: "I don't love you anymore. I want other men. But I still want some of your assets."
That is NOT what he hears. That is WHAT SHE MEANS. What he hears is exactly what she says, 'She wants an open relationship'. At that point, the guy has to realize what she really means.
She mistook a confident male that disliked drama for a weak male that avoided confrontation and thought she could get an open relationship. Then she discovered he wasn't weak and didn't avoid confrontations and was decisive as fuck. She also admitted their were guys she was interested in. Not guy... but GUYS.... Like he said, he was cutting his losses.
@@tickermic8616 Most often people who don't yell all the time are the scariest when they finally snapped, if people I know tanked BS with a smile, I won't try to test their limits.
The other important thing is sleeping with someone is never purely physical. Even if its casual with anew partner every time, sleeping with someone is bonding, and it produces chemicals in your brain that makes you attached to the other person.
@@kuraiaku2997I hate arguing, i dont like confrontations, i hate rasing my voice as well, it doesnt help fix anything if emotions are heightened. She mistook my calm demeanor with weakness and she found out the hard way. She got kicked out immediately out of my house along with her friends when i overheard her talking shit about me with her friends in my own damn home.
This reminds me of some girl who wanted a open relationship, the guy accepted, she started sleeping around while the guy found another girl and stoped going out with his girlfriend, the guy broke up with her to be with the new girl and she was whining about how toxic he is for abandoning her.
My problem is simple: SHE IS STILL NOT FEELING GUILTY of thinking of this. She could have been genuinely sorry and decide to focus only on him, but nope, she wanted to take the cake and eat it too.
Based on the description of the guy, I imagine that he was reading a book with his legs crossed and when he said “are you serious?” He slightly glanced up from his book and when he leaves he closes his book and puts it under his arm
I was cheated on twice. And both times my ex’s defense was “I thought we had an open relationship.” Despite me never agreeing to that bs. I really dislike this open relationship culture we got nowadays.
@@natebit8130No we really need too, our court system is setup so that the woman can go around sleeping with multiple men at a time and when the husband finds out she gets half his lifework and assets despite her being the culprit. We need to rework this stupid system and have cheating and affairs being completely illegal with heavy fines on the perpetrators and even heavier fines if its discovered the dude who did sleep with her was manipulating her into it. Now obviously if the husband/boyfriend is abusive that speaks for itself when it comes to action.
If my husband came home and suddenly wanted an open relationship, no matter what he said, I would assume he’s at least already found someone else. The trust would be gone and I would be devastated and feel betrayed. Even without the physical cheating yet, it would only be a matter of time at that point. I wouldn’t be able to see it any other way so I don’t blame this man at all for leaving immediately.
Let's keep it a stack: if they ask for openness in an established monogamous relationship its one of two things 1: they've already cheated and want to alleviate their guilt 2: they were considering cheating but want to remove the sting of the label.
I feel so sorry for guys like him who are theoretically perfect in everything yet are not appreciated enough. I can't comprehend why on Earth she wanted to see others.
Because he wasn't dramatic. She mentions how she did like his "no fighting" attitude at first. She wanted to get him mad, maybe subconsciously but, she wanted him to scream and shout and let it all out so she could feel like a soap opera main character. He was too perfect and she wanted a bad boy
@@nemesisalex9424 THIS!! THIS EXACTLY!!! Oh my goodness the fact people don't realize this is actually an issue with some women, they see things like Twilight, telenovelas, and other insane love dramas and instead of knowing it's crazy for drama- they see it as how romance should be and that's terrifying 😭
I found it kind of amazing that a woman who wanted drama could stay with such a mentally stable man for 5 years, but then I realized that I think she liked having him as a "safety net" or an investment for the future. She likely knew that his stability would be useful when she was ready to settle down, get married, and start a family but she wasn't ready for that yet and thus wanted a way to get some adventure while still maintaining her "future", but then she was sorely surprised when the man valued his stability over her. Perhaps she thought that their love and his commitment to being with her for 5 years would be enough to convince him to let her experiment.
You could expect him to engage in healthy discourse, she seems genuine. He's not obligated to but his reaction, while relatable and understandable, is quite immature
@@davepatois297 how is it quite immature to break up with someone who wishes to cheat on you while disguising it as an open relationship especially when you clearly prefer a monogamous relationship?
@@xrefed See, here you come with your preconceived notions. She's not disguising cheating by calling it an open relationship, she's discussing the possibility of an open relationship in good faith. That's not cheating. Preferring a monogamous relationship is his right, and frankly speaking I totally understand his decision. But she literally states that if that was his decision, she's have stuck by it. What's immature is walking away without discussing anything.
@@davepatois297 I mean better that he breaks it off right away then try to salvage a sinking ship. The fact that she wanted it and he didn’t meant that they were no longer compatible. There’s nothing to “discuss” because you can’t compromise on this, you either want it or you don’t, and he didn’t want it.
@@davepatois297 Didn't she state tho that he is a pretty traditional guy??? And that he doesn't like cheaters yet 5 years later she decides to bring up SLEEPING with other ppl😑 Like, it's obvious he saw his future with her and her alone while she even stated that she was CURIOUS about OTHER GUYS!!!! Yeahhhhhh, that seems like a cheater to me💀 Good thing he cut losses cuz good grief he deserves better.
This happened to me years ago with my ex of just over 3 years. She asked me what I thought about having an open relationship and I told her I didn't like it and said I wouldn't accept an arrangement like that. I learned my lesson a few months later when I found out on vacation together that she was smashing at least one other guy, which she denied. The evidence proved otherwise. Lesson learned: do what the guy did in this reddit post, don't just give your opinion and let it go like me. There's a reason why she's asking and it's not good.
I had a friend who asked her boyfriend 2 weeks into the relationship if they could have an open relationship. He was on the fence, because he wanted to say no, but he was also obsessed with her enough to consider having an open relationship. But he told her no, and she still went out and cheated on him anyways. She's cheated on him a couple of times more over the last few years too. I didn't know until her boyfriend brought it up to the friend group just last year. Me and her did everything together, we even ended up going to the same college. At the college, she met someone and slept with him multiple times. I noticed they would leave together and everything. She confronted me about having feelings for him and I told her that she should talk to her boyfriend first. But she didn't and ignored my advice. (On top of that, she guy she was cheating with, didn't know that she was already in a relationship. He said that if he had known he wouldn't have even glanced at her, because he's been cheated on and knows how it hurts.) And then it was brought to my attention even more when her boyfriend made the group chat. We all decided to call her out and cut her off. And her boyfriend broke up with her. She was toxic. She tried to make us feel guilty, saying stuff that was self-deprecating. It didn't work. She has no other friends so idk what she's doing now. I managed to get with the guy she was cheating with and we're happy. So now she really has no one. Sometimes I feel bad, but then I remember, she did this to herself. She tried to keep it under wraps for YEARS.
Imagine you've done all you can to be a good partner for five years, thinking your girlfriend genuinely loved you and you did everything right...only for her to say "I wanna sleep with other guys"
Our world seems to have gotten to the point that not wanting to be in an open relationship equals not being open minded. She honestly can't understand why this bothers him? And indirectly criticizes his reaction as "not being open minded" enough? My goodness. And her whole "He could have just said no" also shows how she lacks understanding. She can't seem to understand that one can't just say no and comfortably stay with a person who asked for an open relationship. The trust would be gone. Even if he trusts she won't act on her desires, he would still have to constantly wonder if she's unhappy or desires being with other men. You can't stay in a relationship with that on your mind. I really hope he doesn't cave and get back with her. Plenty of people are so blinded by love that they agree to such a thing despite not liking it.
Whether she realizes it or not, she insulted his manhood, either figuratively or literally. She said, twice, that he's good in bed, but, I wonder how true that is, if she's looking for other "Experiences". Makes me think she was going to try to check around before settling down with him, in both senses of the word.
It’s a slap in the face to the relationship. If your sleeping around your bound to get feeling for someone, happened to someone on my dads side of my family, then divorce, a ruined family, and more. If you don’t like your partner break up then you can sleep around. Though just sleeping with people for fun is dangerous/trashy as well. If I’m not ‘open’ then I don’t care. I want a loyal partner that will be with me through thick and thin.
If someone is asking for an open relationship, most of the time, they are already cheating or going to cheat in the near future, it really doesn't matter if their partner agrees with it or not
@@Foxtrox7616 if he agrees that just means he doesn't actually want to be in a relationship, like, if that happens to someone who was married, what was even the point of marriage in the first place?
@@VintageMemory polyamorous isn't even supposed to mean getting dicked by multiple people. It just means that you love and trust two people so much that you can't betray either of them and want to spend time with them. Love is supposed to be an emotion of its own not just the "making love to each other" sort. It's supposed to be caring for a person enough to put themself before you and feel very happy together. The sex part is just a stimulant for making having a kid desirable, that part is literally just your instincts preparing you to have a child with another person. We're just biological designed to do things that release the rewarding hormones. Two people can love each other madly and still never have sex their entire life. On the flipside, two people could be together only because the sex feels good. The first one is love and second is just lust. In my opinion, love is much more important in a relationship than lust, though lust can go a long way in strengthening love by keeping even the instincts locked into the person you love. Tl:Dr love≠sex, love important for relationship, lust helps maintain love but love can exist without lust
At the very least, she had someone on the hook and was just wanted the green light. She probably had been at least emotionally cheating with someone at that point.
@@carlwinslow8165 if it was reversed, the people defending this woman would be quick to say he is a cheater and hang him on the stake real quick. Men cant catch a break 🤧
I was with my boyfriend for 9 years before we got married. While I do consider this long, we knew we wanted to get married when our finaces allowed. I'm so happy and I would never EVER consider an open relationship! Even before we were married I knew I had a keeper, the least I could do was not mess it up and betray his trust in me. I'm going to say this because I love saying it so much: I LOVE MY HUSBAND!
@@hussainalrafi2261 I hope you do too. Everyone deserves a partner who loves and respects them. It's an added bonus if they look at you like you're the world's most delicious pizza.
That "Were you joking or are you serious" was the last lifeline he gave her, the last chance to take back what he considered irredeemable, the guy has more compassion than I ever could muster.
Thank god she didnt claim she was joking and find a way to loop this guy into sticking around while she got d on the side. He sounds like he would have probably seen through it but public opinion wouldnt be friendly toward a man who broke up with his gf over a "joke".
You can’t just turn a serious monogamous relationship in an open one. It’s whether you discuss that at the beginning or you don’t even get involved (or you break up if the thought occurs later in the relationship). The guy did the best thing, once that topic is brought up the relationship is pretty much over. Better ripping the bandaid off immediately and call it a day
There is instances where a very monogamistic relationship can turn open, but the chances are relatively slim. If someone is clearly religiously monogamistic (or absurdly uptight for monogamy) then they'll most definitely not change their mind, so it's better to call the relationship quits since you both want a different kind of relationship.
@@arandomguy9669 who's talking about not having control? You can have control on how much food you eat but if I have to only eat what my wife cooks it's just an unnecessary and pointless restriction. You don't get married only to get a wife that cooks for you just like you don't get married just to have sex. So why the limitations on that? Those vague values that people are trying to pass as ultimate truths is why people get less and less married. People should get married because they love each other but everyone is telling newer generations that they should marry for financial stability or sexual exclusivity which are pretty pointless and unappealing to a lot of people in the current year. So why even do it? That's also why there's so many older people who hate their wife/husband or act like they're shackled to them. Would you rather have your partner being like a cage you cannot leave or a home where you will always come back?
Here's what to when your partner asks this question. 1. Say yes, even if you don't want to. 2. Tell her you're going out with Da Boys or Da Girls (turn on the battery saver function if you have life360 or something like it). 3. Actually go to the bar, then you want to find a guy or girl you find attractive. 4. Start a conversation with them, and eventually get their number. 5. Over the next few weeks, message them. Eventually they'll confess to you. 6. Ask them to go on a date. 7. On your big day, make sure your partner sees you getting dressed all neat. 8. They will then ask why are you dressing up. 9. Simply respond with "I have a date" and leave. 10. Break up with them, then go date the person you met at the bar.
Straight up the way she describes it he was acting methodically and decisively, almost like he was enacting a contingency plan. Not a hint of intense emotions to be found.
From all of these stories, I have learned something about women asking for an open relationship. She has either already cheated and wants to clear her conscience, or she's lined everything up and is about to cheat the moment the guy agrees to an open relationship.
I had this once a few years back My GF said she wanted an open relationship and I said let me think about it, I'll get back to you tomorrow. Take note that I had no idea what she was talking about so once I got home, I searched what it was online and immediately saw red flags everywhere so the next day I went to her house, her dad opened the door, she came down and I told her "Im breaking up with you" and left. A few weeks later I saw her dad and he asked why I broke up with her, I told him what had happened and he agreed with me. No idea what happened after that
Respect for this guy. A real man. He was convinced of the seriousness of her intentions, did not discuss or dissuade her, made a decision and quietly left. Not 5 or 10 years of relationship is not worth a day of life with a person like her. Only with her idiotic thoughtless whim, she devalued 5 years of their relationship. If these 5 years meant nothing to her, then why would this guy care about them? Long and happy years to this man.
I think you're jumping to extremes here. I agree what the guy did was for the best, but make sure not to demonize people like this. That girl probably does genuinely love that guy, I mean they were together for 5 years, and there is a high chance she genuinely believes that if he said no that she wouldn't try it ever and wouldn't cheat. The reason he left is probably because, despite intentions now, who knows what this will turn into in 5 years? If she wanted it badly enough to even ask, that means that, in spite of genuinely loving him, she wants other men. Which means that the likelihood of her being unable to hold back someday and cheating on him is high, which is a deal breaker. Love, unfortunately, is often not enough to keep a long term relationship stable. I'm on the guy's side here, I'm just pointing out a misunderstanding I think a lot of people have when reading this. There is no "bad guy/girl" here, just people being people, and it's tragic all around. Everyone lost in this situation, and it sucks that it had to happen
"If these 5 years meant nothing to her, then why would this guy care about them?" He clearly does care, and she clearly does too. Nobody wanted this outcome. She said one of the guy's friends asked her how she could do this to him, meaning he is definitely emotionally devastated because he's a human being not a robot or a faceless gigachad stereotype
@@erenjaeger9418 Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that she loves him, it doesn't matter what she or he cares about in this situation. Words will never replace actions. It doesn't matter how much she says she loves him. This is just an empty phrase, because her actions say otherwise. Relationships are not about "happiness", not about "love", it's about respect, sacrifice, morals and values. It is impossible to have a stable relationship with a person who does not respect you, who has other values. Her love meant nothing if she was capable of cheating on him. She loved him but didn't understand his feelings? Didn't understand what kind of pain he would experience? Didn't understand what he would have to go through? Whether she understood or not, she still decided to offer it to him. And do you know why? Because she's an insensitive piece of shit who knows what she's doing is wrong, but still asks about an open relationship. It is important for her to know not how her desire can affect their relationship, but the fact that he will be ready to forgive her, will not hold a grudge against her. "in spite of genuinely loving him, she wants other men". You don't seem to understand what the hell you wrote here. You can't say "genuinely loving" and "wanting others" in the same sentence. We don’t know much about the guy himself, so I didn’t judge him harshly. Like I said before, actions speak louder than words. The guy hearing this made the right decision and broke up with her. He realized that all these 5 years he was in a relationship with a pathetic weak piece of garbage who values his own desires more than their relationship. There is obviously a right side and a wrong side, the bad side and the good side. The girl is bad, the guy is good, period.
I think the fact that she's still trying to justify herself after all this and not realizing how much she hurt him after being together for *5 years* is the reason he stood up and left right then and there, hence the "are you joking?" part because of him being in complete disbelief. He did the right thing, I've come across lots of these type of people who do the most atrocious things, say the most devastating words and only apologize after for the sake of apologizing. If the post was something like "I've made a huge mistake of hurting a person I love, how can I get him back?" And it would be about her actually realizing what she had done, I could see how people could give her the benefit of the doubt for the guy acting immature and leaving on the spot. The fact that he did this, means that in contrary to her, he came to know what kind of person she is throughout the years. I even presume the relationship might not have been so ideal from his perspective, and this was the last straw.
I think so too. Legit, women DO NOT have great Role Models nowadays. Cardi B is literally the Female Version of Bill Cosby and GOT AWAY WITH IT. False Accusations started increasing again after the Johnny Depp/Amber Turd trial. And everything repeats. There NEEDS to BE LAWS DAMN IT!
Nah i dont think this is about having role models, its about being conscious of your decisions, being empathetic to other people and thinking with your head. You dont need a role model for that.
I imagine that if it was discussed at the beginning of the relationship, it wouldn't have ended in an immediate breakup. But 5 years into the relationship?! Imagine being like, "I know we're committed to each other, but I'd like to step away from commitment and share the body I've been committing to you for years. You're not enough." It HEAVILY implies that your partner hasn't been enough for you. And if he had said no, she probably would have cheated behind his back. She was planning on getting it on with someone else. So he nipped it in the bud and saved himself from a possible STI or greater heartbreak.
If it was discussed at the beginning, the relationship wouldn't have happened at all. He's very monogamous, so he wouldn't make an exception regardless of when the subject was brought up.
@@theewildrose There's a difference between "changing as a person" and suddenly wanting to sleep with other people in a committed relationship. And even if we can classify this as "changing", the boyfriend still has every right to not like the change and leave.
if a girl asks her partner of several years to "open up the relationship" then in majority of cases she has already cheated on her partner with somebody else and is simply looking for an excuse to keep cheating with that other guy while still having her current partner as a safety blanket in case it doesn't work out with that other guy.
Basically, this girl wanted to see if a new guy that she was attracted too would be a good replacement. Gentlemen, anytime a girl says she wants an "open relationship" it basically means she wants to try a new guy out but keep you around as a plan B in case it doesn't work out with the new one. She wants something different, but doesn't want to risk losing the comforts she has built with you. So basically you're being used for resources and nothing else. Any of you that fall for this are idiots.
You're not JUST being used for resources. That happens anyway. But you aren't her first choice anymore, so you should probably choose someone else too, someone who values you the way you value them.
If someone is in a monogamous relationship and proceeds to ask to open it up, most of the time they ALREADY have someone else lined up. I would've done the same as that guy, good on him.
To me, it's even worse if they don't have anyone in mind, which is highly unlikely. Cause this means that you don't fit their needs that much that they are willing to take the chances on something completely uncertain. This whole situation should always end how they ended here.
My first gf also hit me with this, instead of being like the girl's gf I was shot to the extreme end of hatred. Hatred for open relationships, hatred for polyamory. I went from accepting of other people's choices to a guy that wishes cheating was illegal again.
yea there was once a time cheaters were rejected by society, then pandoras box was opened and overall its shitty for everyone because now theres no incentive to have a meaningful faithful relationship.
Yeah people who cheats are the most scumbag type, like if you dont want to be with a person just be honest and say it, dont be a scumbag and hide it, it feels bad dude, but thats how people are sometimes.
When she said she was serious, even if she explain she wouldn't do it if he wasn't okay, she would have cheated on him down the line. The fact that she was sexualy intrested in other guys means that at some point, first occasion, first drama, she would have used that as an excuse to go party and bang the first guy looking attractive enough. The guy wasted 5 years, but he didn't throw half his life and possessions in a divorce few years later. Respect to this real man for making the best choice of his life in a split seconde.
Cheating is crossing a boundary, doing something the other person looks at as cheating (for example some would consider flirting cheating, others would not). If he was okay with an open relationship, it wouldn't be cheating, and she just asked him if that's the case? What's wrong with that?
Honestly, lets give the man's friends for being a just a genuine friend and just hard spitting facts on the woman. And instead of just laughing it off, supported him and also defended him from her. Not allowing her or even telling her where he is.
Even people in non-monogamous relationships know most people aren't actually fit for open relationships. Yet people hear "oh, I get to eat both the cake and the pie!?" and they run with that. With no awareness that Pandora's box is about to be opened. That's not the kid of question you can just take back or forget about. You're bringing into question the very foundation of the relation, and suggesting said foundation is not compatible with you. It's honestly so brain dead. And the fact she was already think of other guys in that way to the extent of trying to change her relationship is a huge red flag. It's good the dude got out.
disagreed, people are mostly only fit for closed relatonships if they had open ones and over time learned to not fuck up. how you can call someone a partner that doesnt know that they want you because they overcame the urge to go by hormones or to choose someone else.
@@chillero3heftig712 “ people can only be in closed relationships if they fucked around first “ 😂😂😂😂 bro get your degeneracy and dump it somewhere else
I hear more and more stories like this almost weekly. People are starting to use polygamy, open relationships and threesomes as excuses to cheat in a monogamous relationship and its sick. They honestly think its okay because, in their minds, its just "spicing things up". When in reality, its borderline cheating and, manipulation.
If thats what someone wants to do then whats wrong with it?? As long as you ask your partner if they are also ok with it its no big deal and if they arent then it makes sense for the relationship to end as they simply want to live different lives. Just let people be who they want to be I dont get what you guys are making such a fuzz about.
@@lonerevenant0 Oh, no someone has a different morale code than me! The absolute horror. Does not mean society is going to end over it. Like with every new generation its changing wether for better or for worse can everyone decide for themselve.
my ex boyfriend did the whole trying to justify cheating with polyamory thing and the hinting at it thing, little did i know that he had been cheating for 70% of the time we were dating. i should have seen the warning signs. to be fair i saw one but i thought i was just being paranoid because i trusted him. i never felt more stupid, disgusted, betrayed, and disappointed in my life when i just so happened to stumble upon him and one of his other boyfriends kissing, and of course, he played victim. MY DUMBASS STAYED TOO. I STAYED IN THAT STUPID "OPEN RELATIONSHIP" and as human nature goes, we all prefer one thing over another. yeah, he clearly liked the other guy more. would CONSTANTLY postpone doing things with me because he would rather be with him. then got mad at me for bringing it up. THEN started telling his boyfriend kinda personal things about myself i only really wanted him to know (not going into detail about that). we finally broke up, we had a lot of arguments as our mutual friends were told about the whole situation, he started saying he didnt like the relationship anyways for anything but the se_ual parts (in a groupchat btw). started throwing completely unrelated insults, and yeah, he had like no friends after that other than one of the boyfriends. its been a long time since that kinda but it still doesnt feel great. ANYWAYS if you read all of this you're cool and thank you for listening to my dumb rant probably only 3 people will see
Oof, that's sucks. All I can suggest is those red flags are easy to miss when you're too busy being enamoured. People are wicked and you saw firsthand the spiral of degeneracy. Never, give these people your time. God bless.
Okay wow i didnt actually think stuff like that would actually happen. Like usually you would see it in romance yeah but this is real life. Good Luck to you girl, you just changed my perspective.

I knew a couple about 2 years ago that approached my wife and I about… swinging. Admittedly, I was a bit offended as we are not that kind of couple, never even hinted that we are, yet they asked. We politely declined after they told us that they are “opening” their marriage. Not even a year later, the wife was facing charges after she clubbed her husband in the head with a golf club while he slept next to another woman, then brandished a knife on the woman and threatened to kill her. Why? Because she was worried her husband was falling in love with the other woman and would leave her. The husband later told me that was the first woman he had been with since they opened their marriage. He was very regretful they ever did it, because it ruined their lives, embarrassed their children, and wrecked their marriage. Of course, in retrospect, he realized too late that his wife’s intention was always to sleep around. She just assumed that he wouldn’t actually do it. That’s also why she urged him to ask my wife and I, because she knew we’d never go for it but she’d still appear as though she was okay with her husband sleeping around. He didn’t know, but his marriage was cooked the moment she asked him. She’d have cheated if he said no. Are there people who can pull off this without imploding? I’m sure there are, but it is very, very rare. So rare that I can confidently say if your spouse asks to open it up, immediately leave the relationship. It’s over already.
The only time that an open relationship is what the person above said, when one partner is controlling the other, one or both are in denial or they are lying about it working. An open relationship never works and will always ruin a relationship.
@@liamneeson8918 Why would both parties look for it? The man and the woman have different roles in the relationship. The man's role involves a lot of work. Why would a man put in a lot of work so that anyone can screw his gf and end up looking like a fool? The men that can attract women without putting in effort are not gonna want an open relationship either as they can have just the sex.
@@mrkiky There’s over 8 billion people on the planet bro. Lots of different people looking for lots of different things. With lots of very complicated relationships out there. And not every man and woman want to follow traditional relationship roles.
Ok let me get this straight, He's attractive,smart,calm, patient and avoids conflict and chooses to talk thing's over rather than choose violence as a solution(also decisive as fuck), an absolute 10/10 And she's mad that he left her because she basically said "so uhh hey I wanna fuck other men, that's fair right?"
People are baffled as to how she didn’t see this coming when she asked that question. Simple. She’s just really dumb. Chick that stupid had to be pretty hot for a guy like that to want her.
I don’t get that if she wanted to fuck other guys she should be in her hoe phase rack 5 bodies to see what’s like THEN get into a relationship. Most people want a fix on their sex urges from many people to see what it is like but don’t want to lose their current relationship
Majority of guys know what the right thing to do is in situations like these but I’d say only the minority of guys can actually act on it. It takes a lot of guts and strength to move on from five years of your life in an instant like that. Mad respect to this man. His level of respect and love for himself is unparalleled and goes to show you that he does not play any games about the relationships, platonic and romantic, he has in his circle. Definitely gonna be bounce back from this and find someone worth his time.
This happened to me today. My ex bf of one year(this was our anniversary week) brought up the idea and I immediately ended the relationship. If you are so desperate to get laid with other people, just leave the relationship, don't try to disguise it as something beautiful, because it is not, it's cheating.
@@zototheo2580 just asking is enough to tell me one is desperate for more to be honest If not, why even ask? By then you are just setting up your relationship to fail
@@zototheo2580 It's not about being traditionally oriented. In fact polygamy has always been a concept used by humans and has also been a tradition itself. It's the fact that she asked to have a polygamous relationship after establishing a monogamous relationship.
Some years ago, I was with a woman for 3 years, and in our last year, she asked the same thing. So to get her back for even asking, I went with it. But I told her, "You need to be careful letting me off the leash." I dated/slept with almost 20 women that 3rd year. Had 3 - 3somes. She was getting turned down all the time. She thought it would be easy for her, when it was far easier for me. She couldn't handle it, and tried to accuse me of cheating. So I dumped her, and threw her out the first day she accused me. I won't take that. It was her idea. She actually said to me, "I can't believe you would do that to me." I told her it was easy, because I told all the other women about how she wanted to go outside our relationship, and they had no problem helping me rack up numbers just to get her back for asking in the first place. And I heard her last 2 men cheated on her. LOL.
If she asks for an open relationship, she is either already cheating or wants to cheat without feeling guilty and she believes you won't be able to find someone else as she views you as a mere beta because if she thought you could actually get with other women, she wouldn't have asked for an open relationship in the first place.
I hate it when people say ,,I wanted to open his/her mind to something different" it's just, the most manipulative shit. I've been in a few situations where my partner or friend would try to warm me up to something that I'm not into and try to convince me to change my opinion, It reeks of gaslighting and toxicity.
its especially bad when its trying to change someone's moral character or used to pressure people into certain sexual acts that they wouldn't otherwise engage in
@@NostalgiaVivec And the worst part is those people see themselves as some ,,saviors" or ,,bringers of light" they see themselves as superior I guess and they try to ,,inlighten" you but they don't take your opinion or feelings into consideration, it's sush narcissism.
@@NostalgiaVivec Exactly, they are manipulative, toxic and should be stayed away from. I almost got into a relationship with one luckily for me he passed me off and I was able to see him for what he is in time so I managed to dodge a bullet.
@@natasapap7936 that's good that you dodged that. I dodged a girl a few years ago who used the whole looking cute and harmless thing to pass off being unstable and emotionally manipulative so I understand your relief
To be honest, I tried looking at this as objectively as I can even with my discomfort towards open relationships/poly stuff...and the guy is clearly in the right in that case and I don't think she can do anything to bring him back If we put aside the fact that it was completely and utterly stupid on her behalf to ask on the first place, she seems really sorry but idk if it's because she truly understands her mistake or if it's just regret because she lost such a good guy... But let's consider for a second that they get back together, there would be no way to be sure that she'll never think about it again in a couple of years or cheat on him if she's so curious about other people. Plus, I doubt he would trust her ever again after she even considered it once. And a relationship without trust is meaningless.
You're right, she shouldn't have asked and just cheat instead. Cause if asking your partner if they're open to something can blow up a 5 year old relationship he didn't love her that much.
What scares me the most is she said he hit every check box, he was perfect and she STILL wanted to sleep with other men. Not even the perfect guys are safe dude. As men, are we screwed?
Nah we're not screwed. We just gotta recognize these hoes and leave em to the streets when they show their true colours. No second chances. Besides, men gain value as we age, so u can always start over
Ngl, I’m going on a limb to say this was written by the guy from the girl’s perspective… Or it didn’t happen at all and is just a scenario someone came up with as rage bait I refuse to believe an actual person pointed out point by point in detail why they knew they’re being the a** in a situation I’ve lost faith in post like these after I found out a lot of them (not all) are just rage bait and didn’t actually happen, and the ones that are real are usually from the person who didn’t want Pollys POV not the other way round.
@@nathansteele4358 >I refuse to believe an actual person pointed out point by point in detail why they knew they’re being the a** in a situation you severely underestimate how lacking in self awareness some people can be.
I walked away from a 13 year relationship because she cheated. The worst part was Louisiana has a common law marriage and I had to stay an extra year to keep her from getting half of my money. I had scraped together $300k in my stocks and investments (note I was paying for all of the bills and I was remodeling the home we were living in) on a 35-55k a year income. I was fortunate enough to have worked with a guy who had been married a few times and he suggested I talk to a lawyer before leaving. I had to sell all of my stocks (very early Google investor, Apple and some Amazon) and move it to a Swish bank account. That started the clock ticking because I had to wait an entire year before I could leave her or she could take half of my money. The very day that 1 year anniversary happened I started moving my tools and other equipment out of my shop and put them at my brother's house. I guess her sister who lived next door told on me, so she just had to see if I actually moved my tools out. Then she kicked me out, had her father and brother and the sheriff dept there so I can get the rest of my things. She had my big screen tv and clothes outside. I took my dishwasher, my stove and my refrigerator, also the remaining tools in the shop. She called and texted me for 2 years after I left trying to get back with me. My only reply was "I don't take ex-girlfriends back". I had told her this when we first started dating. Now I see she has ballooned up and she is just as wide as she was tall. The funny thing is every time I would go home, I would hear all kings of rumors from her old co-workers about how I would stalk her. But her co-workers know I wasn't even in the state, much less in our town. After leaving her, I had to just get "away". So I made plans to change careers and it took me another year to get the ball rolling. I went from making 50k a year to 280k a year. I have to travel for work now, but I have been to West Europe, East Europe, Japan, Philippines, Cananda, UK, and the Carribean. 35 different American states. I would never have been able to experience any of these if I would have just forgiven her. I might be making 75k now and still driving a old truck. I realize now that she wasn't holding me back, I was holding myself back. I suffered with working industrial construction for years, just so I could be home every day. Now I realize the saying "when one door closes, another door opens".
Girl: *says he’s traditional* Girl: *says he hates cheaters* Girl: *says they’ve already been together for years* Girl: I don’t understand why he’s so upset! :(
I was dating a boy for 3 years online. One day he asked me “Would you accept me if I was poly?” And I broke down crying because I knew what that meant. 3 days after broke up he ended up dating his “friend”
I'm very sorry if you two were close. It must have been extremely hard on you if he was a good person, but you made the right decision. If he didn't mention how he felt day one (being poly), that's a red flag. Someone who grows close to someone and drops that on them is not someone you want to be with. I hope you've grown to understand that you did the best thing for you. I think you're very strong for cutting ties and not falling for the whole "I can't find someone better." I hope you're doing better (:
Relationships aren’t a one-way street, as my dad would always say. There needs to be give and take on both sides, or all sides if you’re polyamorous(I personally am not, I’m way too “possessive”, I guess. I just don’t like sharing). To just bring something like that up outta nowhere is a definite red flag, especially if you’re reason is “I’m interested in other people”. Bitch that just means you’re tired of the relationship
Polyamory is a lie fed to satisfy the ego. If you ask for an open relationship, you are basically asking to cheat without consequence. The entire reason you advance to romance is because of passion, and if you give that to other people, there is nothing distinguishing your romance from a friends-with-benefits. You cannot bond as a couple intimately, and then give your most intimate and vulnerable selves to other people. There is nothing "intimate" about polyamory, just that you will be able to get your rocks off in [X] many ways. It's shallow, draining to maintain, and unfulfilling long term. Let's not forget the potentially problematic people you or the other person could introduce into the mix.
I feel like the girl was in the wrong, not for being poly, but for bringing it up so late with her boyfriend. And I also agree with that one Twitter user, it may be a gateway to introduce the other man into their relationship. I feel like the way she worded it also made her seem selfish, “ask him about other guys” makes it seem like she only wants the “open” part to apply to herself. (Unless her boyfriend is also attracted to men, which she didn’t specify.) Being poly and monogamous should be discussed before getting in a romantic relationship and shouldn’t be treated as “a free pass to cheat,” which it’s really not as long as every partner agrees to have another partner. Going behind your parters’ backs with someone even if you are poly is cheating. I think she could’ve handled it better, but I think it’s better for the both of them to split, so she can have a more comfortable relationship with poly people and he can have a comfortable relationship with one girlfriend.
If it was discussed at the beginning of the relationship, he would have walked away then too. He don't like harlots, like men that aren't desperate don't.
i'd only have an open relationship if it's open from the start. Starting an open relationship after a long time of closed relationship, it just feels kinda saddening, as if I'm not good enough anymore.
"i love my boyfriend, was curious about other guys" yeah i definitely fail to see how those 2 things can be in the same sentence. no, clearly she doesn't "love" her boyfriend lol. baffling
"He made it clear he didn't like cheating, so I don't understand why he broke up with me when I asked for a open relationship" Girl, he made it clear from the start that he wants a exclusive relationship. You asking for a open relationship means that you clearly don't, so he did the mature and responsible thing, by freeing your relationship, because he clearly couldn't provide the type of relationship you wanted, and you certainly wouldn't provide him the relationship he wanted.
@@kowikowi8718 She has already taken an interest in someone else before asking. She stated this. Boyfriend wanted commitment and exclusivity, she wanted to sleep with said interest and was only asking for permission by opening the relationship. She screwed up a perfectly fine 5 year relationship.
@@Ayl_os Even if she retracted it or said it was a joke, damage is done, she clearly wanted to try out some other brands of joystick prior to asking, if she hadn't already and wanted retrospective permission. If your wife or gf is even thinking about another man's tummy tickler, that means she's not thinking about yours and that's all the red flag you need.
She says ’open his mind’, makes me think that they had incompatible values the whole time and were able to reasonably work it out. Also; She says he won’t fight with her, then describes a normal adult fight. Sounds like her idea of a fight is a screaming match.
Makes me think she had or wanted something else opened, and yes she did open his mind, his mind was so clear that he knew exactly what he needed to do, she on the other hand had a sealed empty head.
If a partner of either sex asks for an open relationship what they're saying is "I want to have sex with other people because I really don't like you much anymore. But you're really stable and I don't want to lose that. You're such a good safety net, I think I can do better, but I need to make sure you're still here if I can't." Its incredibly telling that many women who ask for an open relationship have fun at first until their partner finds someone to have fun with. Then its immediately "nope, this isn't working anymore, close it up."
And? You're criminalizing women for it why? You do realize men have been doing this for decades it's just earlier women couldn't do anything about it but accept and suck it up so what's your point. Tbh seems like men are just mad women have more control over who they can have sex with these days. - im a guy btw
@@TeaTimeTable And as a fellow guy, I'm also claiming your man card. If you're going to support that type of agenda, you are no longer a man by men's standard

This is the norm for reddit posts. Married couples where females asked for open relationships, husbands reluctantly agreed. The wives slept around while the husbands found the woman of their live, divorced and the wives wanted them back. Surprised pikachu face
I recently saw a Reddit post talking about how a husband pressured his wife into an open relationship but then got upset when she was sleeping with someone else.
There was a dating show a man and a woman wanted to try an open relationship [pushed by the woman, explicitly stated as such by the man]. They were both bisexual. He met up with a few guys and they were talking about it and she was prodding for information. She was getting zero responses from guys. Her partner had dates within days, a few hookup opportunities that he declined because it felt wrong to him. She called the experiment off because she got jealous that she was getting nothing and he was able to find people interested in him rather quickly. Some people think they're entitled to more than they offer. Evidently, he had more staying power in the relationship than she did, and he was more of a catch that she obviously took for granted. It took her being rejected and for him to be able to find out the cold hard truth of him being able to hookup in the first week for her to fold and call things off. Adding another person to a conflicted relationship will only create more turbulence, and the party that is unable to find another partner [usually out of spite or jealousy] will know their worth when the rubber hits the road.
It's also just the fact that some people THINK they can handle any type of non monogamous relationships when in reality they truly can't at all. If you get jealous easily, it sucks for people to admit when they have jealousy and other "bad" feelings, then you probably wouldn't be able to handle most non monogamous relationships. Getting jealous can be bad if you use it in a bad way but it's also just a natural feeling for people. Sometimes you need to admit that you're a more possessive type of person and that's normal, it just means you're probably actually monogamous. At least though that couple had alot in common and trust with eachother to just test it and find out. This one though it seems they both weren't compatible tbh. No fighting for 5 years? That seems impossible. You don't need a full on fight but mini disagreements are very normal in all relationships. It sounded way too perfect the way she described it here. It was probably better they both broke up. He didn't even have a conversation so I don't think it was fine and dandy for those 5 years.
Women usually call it off even if they see their guy get any action out of it. Women know that getting laid is infinitely more difficult for men so they only propose the open relationship with the expectation that they'll be reaping all the benefits.
I know a lot of people think she probably cheated and wanted an excuse, and that's very well could be true, but lets just say she has been completely honest and that the extent to her transgressions were to desire for other men and actually ask for permission to indulge on those desires. At that point she had already lost focus on the relationship, she was so focused on her desires to the point that even now, after she has had time to piece together and conclude everything that she just caused there is still no details about her trying to curb or question her desires before she did it, not even a thought about how it may make him feel...and now, even after the fact she still doesn't understand him, perhaps that just shows that no matter how much she felt she listened she never genuinely cared.
@@Piku_gram I agree, but someone can care about someone and still make a mistake. I just kind of wanted to show that in this specific scenario, if you take all potential lies or omitted information out of the equation she is still just as horrible of a person...honestly, maybe even worse because it would be the difference between making a messed up mistake and running for some sense of innocence and being so self centered that you are incapable of truly understanding what it means to actually care about others.
Purity aside,its also bad for her to understand the sinful taste of cheating. Its better to have a month or two worth of depression instead of turning into something she regret for the rest of her life.
This applies to men and women; if your significant other asks for an open relationship, what they are really saying is that they want to cheat on you without you getting mad about it. Don’t put up with that. There are a couple of billion people on earth, you can find someone who appreciates you.
A girl who had a crush on me asked me if she wanted to date. I agreed at first, but then found out that she had a girlfriend already. I declined because I don't feel comfortable being in an open relationship with anyone. She proceeded to get pissed off at me, saying that I was being sexist and racist and closed minded for not at least trying. I don't talk to her anymore.
@@Wumbology378 If this comment section is anything to go by, there's no such thing as "she being fine with him sleeping around". A lot of people talking about how it ended up being a "scam".
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 Because often it's exactly like this. Women know full well they have far more option than most guys and take advantage of it. But if by chance you score an hot girl, a potential threat to her, be assured she'll let you know she's not okay with it.
As a polyamorous person, you gotta make sure you let any partner know at the very start that youre poly/wanting an open relationship, NOT 5 YEARS. Its not fair to the person you supposedly love if you hold off that information for years. Monogamous people dont want their partner to see other people, and most poly people dont want to be w a mono person cuz the lifestyle differences. W on the bfs part. Girl was definitely just trying to cheat without it being "actual cheating." Poly people dont claim her
@@TrafficCone982 ik thats what it seems like to monogamos people, but its far from it. polyamorous people love to love. we want to be able to feel romantically/sexally connected to whoever our hearts lead us to, even if its multiple people at once. the difference between polyamory and cheating is communication. poly people state their boundaries and tell each other about people they meet/like/wanna have sex with. if communication isnt involved, its not polyamory, its cheating. hope this helps you to understand a bit more!
Even if she apologies the problem is that she will never be satisfied with the relationship and will end up cheating or bringing up the topic again anyway. One of my friend is in an open relationship, and it works because it started as that. As long as you’re honest and aligned with what you want, stuff goes well.
I had a similar situation with my ex. She asked if we could have an open relationship. I said, "No. You're either with me fully or not at all." Then infidelity came about soon after. I don't know if it's true in all cases but if a partner asks they probably have someone on 'back burner' they want to screw or a precursor to being unfaithful. I learned my lesson the hard way.
This man seemed like the perfect boyfriend. Obvious red flag in the girl since she was unsatisfied with them not fighting. He made the right choice and hopefully will have an even more successful relationship in the future.

Get it cause y'know?...yeah it's stupid now that I re-read it BUT I STICK TO MY COMMENT
I had the opposite happen to me. Me being the woman and my then boyfriend wanting to open the relationship after six years. All because a drunken woman called him a "sexy nerd" in some online MMO he was playing. This was apparently enough to have this epiphany that it was selfish to be with only one person and everyone should get an equal chance if they're genuinely in love. A bunch of bullshit. Thankfully I'm married to a much better person now.
Thank god you got out of that
Damn, dodged a bullet
You did a matrix on those bullets
I empathize with you, but I had to laugh at his reason for wanting an open relationship. A drunk woman told him he was a sexy nerd in a videogame?! That’s all it took?
@@Mousse9 Yep. I was baffled, to say the least.
Open relationships or polyamorus relationships need to be discussed AT THE BEGINNING of the relationship. Discuss it, set boundaries etc. If you ALREADY KNOW YOUR PARTNER IS MONOGAMOUS don't bring it up! Especially after you've been in a relationship for a while, that's going to destroy the relationship, ruin the trust, and make the involved parties upset. Just like how everything else is talked about before the relationship starts, the idea of polyamory or open relationships needs to be talked about at the same time. If you wait to mention it until you're years into a stable relationship it's going to to ruin it, and most of the time at that point, the one who suggested it has already cheated or will do it regardless. It's more often than not a tactic to seem like less of a shitty person when they've already done something horrible.
Agreed, its just like getting a permission to cheat like a cheat pass, if it was asked in the begining then itll be okay, BUT IF ITS 5 YEARS OR MORE THEN WTFF WHY U BROUGHT IT, SHE HAD A PERFECT LIFE AND SHE RUINED IT IN FEW SECONDS SHES A IDIOT
Let me stop your right there. Not at the beginning. YOU DISCUSS FUNDIMENTAL, RELATIONSHIP AFFECTING SHIT LIKE THAT BEFORE ENGAGING IN ONE.
So many relationships break apart and people get hurt because of this:
religion
kids or no kids
pets
poly mono
etc..
you need to have talked about that stuff
@@Daffodillon thank you, you're right. My wording was funky, I'll admit. By at the beginning I meant whenever y'all start discussing the idea of a relationship, but I can see where that can mean something else.

Story time:
I had this coworker, chick in her 30s. Same type of situation, an open relationship with her husband. They got two kids together and got an expensive house together in a expensive lake side view neighborhood. First I gotta say is she’s a 2/10 at best, a real hefty girl. She openly sees other men while being with her husband. Husband understands the open relationship. A lil bit about him, went to school for engineering, has rich parents, handsome fit dude, really stay at home playing pc games dude. Like she was set with this dude. So she starts dating a BUNCH of other guys, so he starts to date his 1st other woman. A real hottie, nice body and likes the things he likes. He then regularly goes on dates with her. Wife sees this hottie and gets annoyed. She tells him not to see her anymore, and I’m like but you asked him and you did it first. In the end from what I heard she got insanely jealous and felt like she was losing him.
Goes to show that some woman only care about doing what they want and not care about the morality in things.
Holly shit. What did I just read….

Tho it’s annoying to see entitlement
I hope that guy dumped that parasite that he calls his wife
I had a girlfriend for 4 years. One day she sugested an open relationship. Actually I was interested on the idea of sleeping with another girls, but then she suddenly said "but you can't sleep with that one friend of yours. Nor that one. Because I'm jealous of them". And I was like "wait, it's an open relationship but you want to choose who I can or can't sleep with?" She tried to justify with arguments that obviously didn't make any sense. It obviously didn't work and we ended up breaking up.

Cheating isn't magically "ethical" because you rub it in your partner's face and bully them into staying with you despite the cheating.
What she says: "we've been an item for 5 years, and I know you're very monogamous, but do you think we could try an open relationship?"
What he hears: "I don't love you anymore. I want other men. But I still want some of your assets."
perfect!
More like the truth, because god damnit he’s right!
“I want to start another relationship but I need a backup plan in case it doesn't work”
That is NOT what he hears. That is WHAT SHE MEANS. What he hears is exactly what she says, 'She wants an open relationship'.
At that point, the guy has to realize what she really means.
other way to phrase what he hears: ''i wanna use you for your assets and/or money. but i also want to do that to other men, please!''
She mistook a confident male that disliked drama for a weak male that avoided confrontation and thought she could get an open relationship.
Then she discovered he wasn't weak and didn't avoid confrontations and was decisive as fuck.
She also admitted their were guys she was interested in.
Not guy... but GUYS....

Now obviously if the husband/boyfriend is abusive that speaks for itself when it comes to action.
Ugh, I dealt with the SAME thing. I swear it stole a part of my heart and soul. Such a disgusting betrayal. I hope you're doing alright now.
If my husband came home and suddenly wanted an open relationship, no matter what he said, I would assume he’s at least already found someone else. The trust would be gone and I would be devastated and feel betrayed. Even without the physical cheating yet, it would only be a matter of time at that point. I wouldn’t be able to see it any other way so I don’t blame this man at all for leaving immediately.
Let's keep it a stack: if they ask for openness in an established monogamous relationship its one of two things
1: they've already cheated and want to alleviate their guilt
2: they were considering cheating but want to remove the sting of the label.

I found it kind of amazing that a woman who wanted drama could stay with such a mentally stable man for 5 years, but then I realized that I think she liked having him as a "safety net" or an investment for the future. She likely knew that his stability would be useful when she was ready to settle down, get married, and start a family but she wasn't ready for that yet and thus wanted a way to get some adventure while still maintaining her "future", but then she was sorely surprised when the man valued his stability over her. Perhaps she thought that their love and his commitment to being with her for 5 years would be enough to convince him to let her experiment.
You can't expect someone who clearly prefers a monogamous relationship to be suddenly interested in polyamory, that's just messed up
You could expect him to engage in healthy discourse, she seems genuine. He's not obligated to but his reaction, while relatable and understandable, is quite immature

This happened to me years ago with my ex of just over 3 years. She asked me what I thought about having an open relationship and I told her I didn't like it and said I wouldn't accept an arrangement like that.
I learned my lesson a few months later when I found out on vacation together that she was smashing at least one other guy, which she denied. The evidence proved otherwise.
Lesson learned: do what the guy did in this reddit post, don't just give your opinion and let it go like me. There's a reason why she's asking and it's not good.
I don't see her problem. He gave her the most open relationship possible
lmaooooo
Not open enough for her lmao
xD
Trueeee
Her problem is the loss of her personal wallet
I had a friend who asked her boyfriend 2 weeks into the relationship if they could have an open relationship. He was on the fence, because he wanted to say no, but he was also obsessed with her enough to consider having an open relationship. But he told her no, and she still went out and cheated on him anyways. She's cheated on him a couple of times more over the last few years too. I didn't know until her boyfriend brought it up to the friend group just last year.
Me and her did everything together, we even ended up going to the same college. At the college, she met someone and slept with him multiple times. I noticed they would leave together and everything. She confronted me about having feelings for him and I told her that she should talk to her boyfriend first. But she didn't and ignored my advice. (On top of that, she guy she was cheating with, didn't know that she was already in a relationship. He said that if he had known he wouldn't have even glanced at her, because he's been cheated on and knows how it hurts.) And then it was brought to my attention even more when her boyfriend made the group chat. We all decided to call her out and cut her off. And her boyfriend broke up with her. She was toxic. She tried to make us feel guilty, saying stuff that was self-deprecating. It didn't work. She has no other friends so idk what she's doing now.
I managed to get with the guy she was cheating with and we're happy. So now she really has no one. Sometimes I feel bad, but then I remember, she did this to herself. She tried to keep it under wraps for YEARS.

@@knowledge_leaf Bullshit. Polyamory is just cheating with extra steps
Our world seems to have gotten to the point that not wanting to be in an open relationship equals not being open minded. She honestly can't understand why this bothers him? And indirectly criticizes his reaction as "not being open minded" enough? My goodness. And her whole "He could have just said no" also shows how she lacks understanding. She can't seem to understand that one can't just say no and comfortably stay with a person who asked for an open relationship. The trust would be gone. Even if he trusts she won't act on her desires, he would still have to constantly wonder if she's unhappy or desires being with other men. You can't stay in a relationship with that on your mind. I really hope he doesn't cave and get back with her. Plenty of people are so blinded by love that they agree to such a thing despite not liking it.
Whether she realizes it or not, she insulted his manhood, either figuratively or literally. She said, twice, that he's good in bed, but, I wonder how true that is, if she's looking for other "Experiences". Makes me think she was going to try to check around before settling down with him, in both senses of the word.
It’s a slap in the face to the relationship. If your sleeping around your bound to get feeling for someone, happened to someone on my dads side of my family, then divorce, a ruined family, and more. If you don’t like your partner break up then you can sleep around. Though just sleeping with people for fun is dangerous/trashy as well. If I’m not ‘open’ then I don’t care. I want a loyal partner that will be with me through thick and thin.

@@VintageMemory polyamorous isn't even supposed to mean getting dicked by multiple people. It just means that you love and trust two people so much that you can't betray either of them and want to spend time with them. Love is supposed to be an emotion of its own not just the "making love to each other" sort. It's supposed to be caring for a person enough to put themself before you and feel very happy together. The sex part is just a stimulant for making having a kid desirable, that part is literally just your instincts preparing you to have a child with another person. We're just biological designed to do things that release the rewarding hormones. Two people can love each other madly and still never have sex their entire life. On the flipside, two people could be together only because the sex feels good. The first one is love and second is just lust. In my opinion, love is much more important in a relationship than lust, though lust can go a long way in strengthening love by keeping even the instincts locked into the person you love. Tl:Dr love≠sex, love important for relationship, lust helps maintain love but love can exist without lust
If someone is suggesting an open relationship, it’s quite possible that they are already involved with someone else.

You can’t just turn a serious monogamous relationship in an open one. It’s whether you discuss that at the beginning or you don’t even get involved (or you break up if the thought occurs later in the relationship).
The guy did the best thing, once that topic is brought up the relationship is pretty much over. Better ripping the bandaid off immediately and call it a day
Concise as ever. 100 percent agree
There is instances where a very monogamistic relationship can turn open, but the chances are relatively slim. If someone is clearly religiously monogamistic (or absurdly uptight for monogamy) then they'll most definitely not change their mind, so it's better to call the relationship quits since you both want a different kind of relationship.

Those vague values that people are trying to pass as ultimate truths is why people get less and less married. People should get married because they love each other but everyone is telling newer generations that they should marry for financial stability or sexual exclusivity which are pretty pointless and unappealing to a lot of people in the current year.

Here's what to when your partner asks this question.
1. Say yes, even if you don't want to.
2. Tell her you're going out with Da Boys or Da Girls (turn on the battery saver function if you have life360 or something like it).
3. Actually go to the bar, then you want to find a guy or girl you find attractive.
4. Start a conversation with them, and eventually get their number.
5. Over the next few weeks, message them. Eventually they'll confess to you.
6. Ask them to go on a date.
7. On your big day, make sure your partner sees you getting dressed all neat.
8. They will then ask why are you dressing up.
9. Simply respond with "I have a date" and leave.
10. Break up with them, then go date the person you met at the bar.
Good advice. I'll keep it in mind.

A few weeks later I saw her dad and he asked why I broke up with her, I told him what had happened and he agreed with me. No idea what happened after that
Good man
Respect for this guy. A real man. He was convinced of the seriousness of her intentions, did not discuss or dissuade her, made a decision and quietly left. Not 5 or 10 years of relationship is not worth a day of life with a person like her. Only with her idiotic thoughtless whim, she devalued 5 years of their relationship. If these 5 years meant nothing to her, then why would this guy care about them? Long and happy years to this man.
I think you're jumping to extremes here. I agree what the guy did was for the best, but make sure not to demonize people like this. That girl probably does genuinely love that guy, I mean they were together for 5 years, and there is a high chance she genuinely believes that if he said no that she wouldn't try it ever and wouldn't cheat. The reason he left is probably because, despite intentions now, who knows what this will turn into in 5 years? If she wanted it badly enough to even ask, that means that, in spite of genuinely loving him, she wants other men. Which means that the likelihood of her being unable to hold back someday and cheating on him is high, which is a deal breaker. Love, unfortunately, is often not enough to keep a long term relationship stable. I'm on the guy's side here, I'm just pointing out a misunderstanding I think a lot of people have when reading this. There is no "bad guy/girl" here, just people being people, and it's tragic all around. Everyone lost in this situation, and it sucks that it had to happen
"If these 5 years meant nothing to her, then why would this guy care about them?"
He clearly does care, and she clearly does too. Nobody wanted this outcome. She said one of the guy's friends asked her how she could do this to him, meaning he is definitely emotionally devastated because he's a human being not a robot or a faceless gigachad stereotype
@@erenjaeger9418 Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that she loves him, it doesn't matter what she or he cares about in this situation. Words will never replace actions. It doesn't matter how much she says she loves him. This is just an empty phrase, because her actions say otherwise. Relationships are not about "happiness", not about "love", it's about respect, sacrifice, morals and values. It is impossible to have a stable relationship with a person who does not respect you, who has other values. Her love meant nothing if she was capable of cheating on him. She loved him but didn't understand his feelings? Didn't understand what kind of pain he would experience? Didn't understand what he would have to go through? Whether she understood or not, she still decided to offer it to him. And do you know why? Because she's an insensitive piece of shit who knows what she's doing is wrong, but still asks about an open relationship. It is important for her to know not how her desire can affect their relationship, but the fact that he will be ready to forgive her, will not hold a grudge against her. "in spite of genuinely loving him, she wants other men". You don't seem to understand what the hell you wrote here. You can't say "genuinely loving" and "wanting others" in the same sentence. We don’t know much about the guy himself, so I didn’t judge him harshly. Like I said before, actions speak louder than words. The guy hearing this made the right decision and broke up with her. He realized that all these 5 years he was in a relationship with a pathetic weak piece of garbage who values his own desires more than their relationship. There is obviously a right side and a wrong side, the bad side and the good side. The girl is bad, the guy is good, period.
I think the fact that she's still trying to justify herself after all this and not realizing how much she hurt him after being together for *5 years* is the reason he stood up and left right then and there, hence the "are you joking?" part because of him being in complete disbelief. He did the right thing, I've come across lots of these type of people who do the most atrocious things, say the most devastating words and only apologize after for the sake of apologizing.
If the post was something like "I've made a huge mistake of hurting a person I love, how can I get him back?" And it would be about her actually realizing what she had done, I could see how people could give her the benefit of the doubt for the guy acting immature and leaving on the spot.
The fact that he did this, means that in contrary to her, he came to know what kind of person she is throughout the years. I even presume the relationship might not have been so ideal from his perspective, and this was the last straw.

@@schizoidmeme5470At this point I'll take Sharia over this shit.
Nah i dont think this is about having role models, its about being conscious of your decisions, being empathetic to other people and thinking with your head. You dont need a role model for that.
Leaving at the point is probably the most mature thing you can do bc she already probably found some guys to do that “open relationship”
I imagine that if it was discussed at the beginning of the relationship, it wouldn't have ended in an immediate breakup. But 5 years into the relationship?! Imagine being like, "I know we're committed to each other, but I'd like to step away from commitment and share the body I've been committing to you for years. You're not enough." It HEAVILY implies that your partner hasn't been enough for you. And if he had said no, she probably would have cheated behind his back. She was planning on getting it on with someone else. So he nipped it in the bud and saved himself from a possible STI or greater heartbreak.
If it was discussed at the beginning, the relationship wouldn't have happened at all. He's very monogamous, so he wouldn't make an exception regardless of when the subject was brought up.
@@bigtime9597 I know, but it would have saved them 5 years. Either way, it should have been discussed earlier. Lol
The relationship wouldnt have begun in the first place
Imagine changing as a person over 5 years and being expected to say nothing
@@theewildrose There's a difference between "changing as a person" and suddenly wanting to sleep with other people in a committed relationship.
And even if we can classify this as "changing", the boyfriend still has every right to not like the change and leave.
if a girl asks her partner of several years to "open up the relationship" then in majority of cases she has already cheated on her partner with somebody else and is simply looking for an excuse to keep cheating with that other guy while still having her current partner as a safety blanket in case it doesn't work out with that other guy.
Basically, this girl wanted to see if a new guy that she was attracted too would be a good replacement. Gentlemen, anytime a girl says she wants an "open relationship" it basically means she wants to try a new guy out but keep you around as a plan B in case it doesn't work out with the new one. She wants something different, but doesn't want to risk losing the comforts she has built with you. So basically you're being used for resources and nothing else. Any of you that fall for this are idiots.
100%
This
Doubt this will reach mentioned people, but i agree
As a woman I agree, and it’s dumb to do that to someone
You're not JUST being used for resources. That happens anyway.
But you aren't her first choice anymore, so you should probably choose someone else too, someone who values you the way you value them.
If someone is in a monogamous relationship and proceeds to ask to open it up, most of the time they ALREADY have someone else lined up. I would've done the same as that guy, good on him.
Yup
For once I agree with you monokuma
To me, it's even worse if they don't have anyone in mind, which is highly unlikely. Cause this means that you don't fit their needs that much that they are willing to take the chances on something completely uncertain. This whole situation should always end how they ended here.
My first gf also hit me with this, instead of being like the girl's gf I was shot to the extreme end of hatred. Hatred for open relationships, hatred for polyamory. I went from accepting of other people's choices to a guy that wishes cheating was illegal again.
Same. I fucking despise them to my most pure inner core.
I really think cheating while in a registered marriage should be a crime and punished by at least a year in jail. For both genders.
@@bizmasterTheSlavyear? No a lifetime
yea there was once a time cheaters were rejected by society, then pandoras box was opened and overall its shitty for everyone because now theres no incentive to have a meaningful faithful relationship.
Yeah people who cheats are the most scumbag type, like if you dont want to be with a person just be honest and say it, dont be a scumbag and hide it, it feels bad dude, but thats how people are sometimes.
When she said she was serious, even if she explain she wouldn't do it if he wasn't okay, she would have cheated on him down the line.
The fact that she was sexualy intrested in other guys means that at some point, first occasion, first drama, she would have used that as an excuse to go party and bang the first guy looking attractive enough.
The guy wasted 5 years, but he didn't throw half his life and possessions in a divorce few years later.

Cheating is crossing a boundary, doing something the other person looks at as cheating (for example some would consider flirting cheating, others would not). If he was okay with an open relationship, it wouldn't be cheating, and she just asked him if that's the case? What's wrong with that?
@@coutingonstatic that’s an excuse for cheating
Honestly, lets give the man's friends for being a just a genuine friend and just hard spitting facts on the woman. And instead of just laughing it off, supported him and also defended him from her. Not allowing her or even telling her where he is.
Even people in non-monogamous relationships know most people aren't actually fit for open relationships. Yet people hear "oh, I get to eat both the cake and the pie!?" and they run with that. With no awareness that Pandora's box is about to be opened. That's not the kid of question you can just take back or forget about. You're bringing into question the very foundation of the relation, and suggesting said foundation is not compatible with you. It's honestly so brain dead. And the fact she was already think of other guys in that way to the extent of trying to change her relationship is a huge red flag. It's good the dude got out.

I knew a couple about 2 years ago that approached my wife and I about… swinging. Admittedly, I was a bit offended as we are not that kind of couple, never even hinted that we are, yet they asked. We politely declined after they told us that they are “opening” their marriage.
Not even a year later, the wife was facing charges after she clubbed her husband in the head with a golf club while he slept next to another woman, then brandished a knife on the woman and threatened to kill her. Why? Because she was worried her husband was falling in love with the other woman and would leave her. The husband later told me that was the first woman he had been with since they opened their marriage. He was very regretful they ever did it, because it ruined their lives, embarrassed their children, and wrecked their marriage.
Of course, in retrospect, he realized too late that his wife’s intention was always to sleep around. She just assumed that he wouldn’t actually do it. That’s also why she urged him to ask my wife and I, because she knew we’d never go for it but she’d still appear as though she was okay with her husband sleeping around. He didn’t know, but his marriage was cooked the moment she asked him. She’d have cheated if he said no.
Are there people who can pull off this without imploding? I’m sure there are, but it is very, very rare. So rare that I can confidently say if your spouse asks to open it up, immediately leave the relationship. It’s over already.
His marriage was cooked the moment he married a skank tbh.
Probably the only open relationships that end up lasting are the ones that are open from the very beginning. Where both parties were looking for it.
The only time that an open relationship is what the person above said, when one partner is controlling the other, one or both are in denial or they are lying about it working.
An open relationship never works and will always ruin a relationship.
@@liamneeson8918 Why would both parties look for it? The man and the woman have different roles in the relationship. The man's role involves a lot of work. Why would a man put in a lot of work so that anyone can screw his gf and end up looking like a fool? The men that can attract women without putting in effort are not gonna want an open relationship either as they can have just the sex.
@@mrkiky There’s over 8 billion people on the planet bro. Lots of different people looking for lots of different things. With lots of very complicated relationships out there. And not every man and woman want to follow traditional relationship roles.

And she's mad that he left her because she basically said "so uhh hey I wanna fuck other men, that's fair right?"
She had it too good for too long. Took his kindness for weakness.
People are baffled as to how she didn’t see this coming when she asked that question. Simple. She’s just really dumb. Chick that stupid had to be pretty hot for a guy like that to want her.
I don’t get that if she wanted to fuck other guys she should be in her hoe phase rack 5 bodies to see what’s like THEN get into a relationship. Most people want a fix on their sex urges from many people to see what it is like but don’t want to lose their current relationship

Some years ago, I was with a woman for 3 years, and in our last year, she asked the same thing. So to get her back for even asking, I went with it. But I told her, "You need to be careful letting me off the leash." I dated/slept with almost 20 women that 3rd year. Had 3 - 3somes. She was getting turned down all the time. She thought it would be easy for her, when it was far easier for me. She couldn't handle it, and tried to accuse me of cheating. So I dumped her, and threw her out the first day she accused me. I won't take that. It was her idea. She actually said to me, "I can't believe you would do that to me." I told her it was easy, because I told all the other women about how she wanted to go outside our relationship, and they had no problem helping me rack up numbers just to get her back for asking in the first place. And I heard her last 2 men cheated on her. LOL.

To be honest, I tried looking at this as objectively as I can even with my discomfort towards open relationships/poly stuff...and the guy is clearly in the right in that case and I don't think she can do anything to bring him back
If we put aside the fact that it was completely and utterly stupid on her behalf to ask on the first place, she seems really sorry but idk if it's because she truly understands her mistake or if it's just regret because she lost such a good guy...
But let's consider for a second that they get back together, there would be no way to be sure that she'll never think about it again in a couple of years or cheat on him if she's so curious about other people. Plus, I doubt he would trust her ever again after she even considered it once. And a relationship without trust is meaningless.

I walked away from a 13 year relationship because she cheated. The worst part was Louisiana has a common law marriage and I had to stay an extra year to keep her from getting half of my money. I had scraped together $300k in my stocks and investments (note I was paying for all of the bills and I was remodeling the home we were living in) on a 35-55k a year income. I was fortunate enough to have worked with a guy who had been married a few times and he suggested I talk to a lawyer before leaving. I had to sell all of my stocks (very early Google investor, Apple and some Amazon) and move it to a Swish bank account. That started the clock ticking because I had to wait an entire year before I could leave her or she could take half of my money. The very day that 1 year anniversary happened I started moving my tools and other equipment out of my shop and put them at my brother's house. I guess her sister who lived next door told on me, so she just had to see if I actually moved my tools out. Then she kicked me out, had her father and brother and the sheriff dept there so I can get the rest of my things. She had my big screen tv and clothes outside. I took my dishwasher, my stove and my refrigerator, also the remaining tools in the shop.
She called and texted me for 2 years after I left trying to get back with me. My only reply was "I don't take ex-girlfriends back". I had told her this when we first started dating. Now I see she has ballooned up and she is just as wide as she was tall. The funny thing is every time I would go home, I would hear all kings of rumors from her old co-workers about how I would stalk her. But her co-workers know I wasn't even in the state, much less in our town.
After leaving her, I had to just get "away". So I made plans to change careers and it took me another year to get the ball rolling. I went from making 50k a year to 280k a year. I have to travel for work now, but I have been to West Europe, East Europe, Japan, Philippines, Cananda, UK, and the Carribean. 35 different American states. I would never have been able to experience any of these if I would have just forgiven her. I might be making 75k now and still driving a old truck. I realize now that she wasn't holding me back, I was holding myself back. I suffered with working industrial construction for years, just so I could be home every day. Now I realize the saying "when one door closes, another door opens".

@@ChainSouls I have gotten better thank you ❤
your comment is so sweet
Relationships aren’t a one-way street, as my dad would always say. There needs to be give and take on both sides, or all sides if you’re polyamorous(I personally am not, I’m way too “possessive”, I guess. I just don’t like sharing). To just bring something like that up outta nowhere is a definite red flag, especially if you’re reason is “I’m interested in other people”. Bitch that just means you’re tired of the relationship
Polyamory is a lie fed to satisfy the ego. If you ask for an open relationship, you are basically asking to cheat without consequence. The entire reason you advance to romance is because of passion, and if you give that to other people, there is nothing distinguishing your romance from a friends-with-benefits.
You cannot bond as a couple intimately, and then give your most intimate and vulnerable selves to other people. There is nothing "intimate" about polyamory, just that you will be able to get your rocks off in [X] many ways. It's shallow, draining to maintain, and unfulfilling long term. Let's not forget the potentially problematic people you or the other person could introduce into the mix.
I feel like the girl was in the wrong, not for being poly, but for bringing it up so late with her boyfriend. And I also agree with that one Twitter user, it may be a gateway to introduce the other man into their relationship. I feel like the way she worded it also made her seem selfish, “ask him about other guys” makes it seem like she only wants the “open” part to apply to herself. (Unless her boyfriend is also attracted to men, which she didn’t specify.) Being poly and monogamous should be discussed before getting in a romantic relationship and shouldn’t be treated as “a free pass to cheat,” which it’s really not as long as every partner agrees to have another partner. Going behind your parters’ backs with someone even if you are poly is cheating. I think she could’ve handled it better, but I think it’s better for the both of them to split, so she can have a more comfortable relationship with poly people and he can have a comfortable relationship with one girlfriend.

She's insane.
Makes me think she had or wanted something else opened, and yes she did open his mind, his mind was so clear that he knew exactly what he needed to do, she on the other hand had a sealed empty head.
If a partner of either sex asks for an open relationship what they're saying is "I want to have sex with other people because I really don't like you much anymore. But you're really stable and I don't want to lose that. You're such a good safety net, I think I can do better, but I need to make sure you're still here if I can't."
Its incredibly telling that many women who ask for an open relationship have fun at first until their partner finds someone to have fun with. Then its immediately "nope, this isn't working anymore, close it up."
And? You're criminalizing women for it why? You do realize men have been doing this for decades it's just earlier women couldn't do anything about it but accept and suck it up so what's your point. Tbh seems like men are just mad women have more control over who they can have sex with these days. - im a guy btw
@@TeaTimeTable
And as a fellow guy, I'm also claiming your man card. If you're going to support that type of agenda, you are no longer a man by men's standard
@@TeaTimeTable The big difference is those men were straight up cheating. These women are trying to hide behind a white lie of "open relationship" to get their fixins. ITs not "criminalizing" its noticing facts and a pattern LMAO. She aint gonna see your comment and sleep with you bro
🗿
She was going insane because the guy that wasn't enough for her left her...makes no sense lol. Good on that guy and hope he finds a women that appreciates his loyalty
This is the norm for reddit posts. Married couples where females asked for open relationships, husbands reluctantly agreed. The wives slept around while the husbands found the woman of their live, divorced and the wives wanted them back. Surprised pikachu face
I recently saw a Reddit post talking about how a husband pressured his wife into an open relationship but then got upset when she was sleeping with someone else.
The story is probably fake. We all know Redditors don't form relationships 🗿
Almost guaranteed if the woman is over 30 too
I've seen this happen slot with men to.. I wish people would stop saying one gender did something only. It's clear we both do
@@crowfoot8059 average predditor lol
There was a dating show a man and a woman wanted to try an open relationship [pushed by the woman, explicitly stated as such by the man].
They were both bisexual. He met up with a few guys and they were talking about it and she was prodding for information.
She was getting zero responses from guys. Her partner had dates within days, a few hookup opportunities that he declined because it felt wrong to him.
She called the experiment off because she got jealous that she was getting nothing and he was able to find people interested in him rather quickly.
Some people think they're entitled to more than they offer.
Evidently, he had more staying power in the relationship than she did, and he was more of a catch that she obviously took for granted.
It took her being rejected and for him to be able to find out the cold hard truth of him being able to hookup in the first week for her to fold and call things off.
Adding another person to a conflicted relationship will only create more turbulence, and the party that is unable to find another partner [usually out of spite or jealousy] will know their worth when the rubber hits the road.
It's also just the fact that some people THINK they can handle any type of non monogamous relationships when in reality they truly can't at all.
If you get jealous easily, it sucks for people to admit when they have jealousy and other "bad" feelings, then you probably wouldn't be able to handle most non monogamous relationships. Getting jealous can be bad if you use it in a bad way but it's also just a natural feeling for people. Sometimes you need to admit that you're a more possessive type of person and that's normal, it just means you're probably actually monogamous. At least though that couple had alot in common and trust with eachother to just test it and find out.
This one though it seems they both weren't compatible tbh. No fighting for 5 years? That seems impossible. You don't need a full on fight but mini disagreements are very normal in all relationships. It sounded way too perfect the way she described it here. It was probably better they both broke up. He didn't even have a conversation so I don't think it was fine and dandy for those 5 years.
Women usually call it off even if they see their guy get any action out of it.
Women know that getting laid is infinitely more difficult for men so they only propose the open relationship with the expectation that they'll be reaping all the benefits.
I know a lot of people think she probably cheated and wanted an excuse, and that's very well could be true, but lets just say she has been completely honest and that the extent to her transgressions were to desire for other men and actually ask for permission to indulge on those desires. At that point she had already lost focus on the relationship, she was so focused on her desires to the point that even now, after she has had time to piece together and conclude everything that she just caused there is still no details about her trying to curb or question her desires before she did it, not even a thought about how it may make him feel...and now, even after the fact she still doesn't understand him, perhaps that just shows that no matter how much she felt she listened she never genuinely cared.
People like that didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Never.
@@Piku_gram I agree, but someone can care about someone and still make a mistake. I just kind of wanted to show that in this specific scenario, if you take all potential lies or omitted information out of the equation she is still just as horrible of a person...honestly, maybe even worse because it would be the difference between making a messed up mistake and running for some sense of innocence and being so self centered that you are incapable of truly understanding what it means to actually care about others.
she is asking permission to cheat, it aint that complicated, have to put the trash where it belongs
Yes, even if her intentions were pure, she basically said:
What we have right now doesn't work for me.
I don't really know what else she expected.
Purity aside,its also bad for her to understand the sinful taste of cheating. Its better to have a month or two worth of depression instead of turning into something she regret for the rest of her life.
This applies to men and women; if your significant other asks for an open relationship, what they are really saying is that they want to cheat on you without you getting mad about it. Don’t put up with that.
There are a couple of billion people on earth, you can find someone who appreciates you.
If i was dating a guy who asked me this I'd be gone too.
Good on this guy, he knows what he wants and can recognize a red flag when he sees one.
you are just controlling and insecure
@@dice-gi1igbro what
@@olihahehshshhwlwkennd8953 It's the truth
A girl who had a crush on me asked me if she wanted to date. I agreed at first, but then found out that she had a girlfriend already. I declined because I don't feel comfortable being in an open relationship with anyone.
She proceeded to get pissed off at me, saying that I was being sexist and racist and closed minded for not at least trying.
I don't talk to her anymore.
You dodged a real bullet.
DO NOT GO BACK TO HER YOU DODGE A BULLET
Bitch really pulled out all the buzzwords xd
That chick was -100 on mental stability
Gotta love when they start using all the buzz words
If a girl asks for an open relationship, SHE'S BEEN DM'ING OTHER GUYS. She's already chatting those other guys up and proven she's unfaithful
Yup the only reason she is fine with him sleeping around is because she already has a football team of dudes lined up.
@@Wumbology378 If this comment section is anything to go by, there's no such thing as "she being fine with him sleeping around". A lot of people talking about how it ended up being a "scam".
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 Because often it's exactly like this. Women know full well they have far more option than most guys and take advantage of it. But if by chance you score an hot girl, a potential threat to her, be assured she'll let you know she's not okay with it.
Lets just face it guys, she wanted to cheat on him but didn't want to fully admit it, it makes sense why she's asking for an open relationship
So much respect for that man. Stay strong king, I'm glad that you love yourself enough to walk away from anything that disturbs your peace.
As a polyamorous person, you gotta make sure you let any partner know at the very start that youre poly/wanting an open relationship, NOT 5 YEARS. Its not fair to the person you supposedly love if you hold off that information for years. Monogamous people dont want their partner to see other people, and most poly people dont want to be w a mono person cuz the lifestyle differences. W on the bfs part. Girl was definitely just trying to cheat without it being "actual cheating." Poly people dont claim her
more people should know this.
Excellent argument.
aye, the make-or-break must always be mentioned BEFORE starting a relationship. That way, you can make sure there are no regrets.
Poly relationship are just a bad idea it seems like an excuse to cheat
@@TrafficCone982 ik thats what it seems like to monogamos people, but its far from it. polyamorous people love to love. we want to be able to feel romantically/sexally connected to whoever our hearts lead us to, even if its multiple people at once. the difference between polyamory and cheating is communication. poly people state their boundaries and tell each other about people they meet/like/wanna have sex with. if communication isnt involved, its not polyamory, its cheating. hope this helps you to understand a bit more!
An open relationship is an excuse to sleep around without feeling guilty. Change my mind:
And to use the stability of having a partner
Its the female that mostly beneifits from the relationship, since these type of hoes leech off the male.
No need to change your mind when you’re right
You're goddamn right
@@junahsong130 Hello comrade
Even if she apologies the problem is that she will never be satisfied with the relationship and will end up cheating or bringing up the topic again anyway.
One of my friend is in an open relationship, and it works because it started as that. As long as you’re honest and aligned with what you want, stuff goes well.
I had a similar situation with my ex. She asked if we could have an open relationship. I said, "No. You're either with me fully or not at all." Then infidelity came about soon after. I don't know if it's true in all cases but if a partner asks they probably have someone on 'back burner' they want to screw or a precursor to being unfaithful. I learned my lesson the hard way.
Yep, always assume she's either cheating or she plan to do it. The moment she hints at other guys in the relationship, walk away without fear.
This man seemed like the perfect boyfriend. Obvious red flag in the girl since she was unsatisfied with them not fighting. He made the right choice and hopefully will have an even more successful relationship in the future.
Yeah, kinda happy the dude found out she's a [insert-derogatory-term] before she wasted even more of his time.
Male or female, if you're in a mongamous relationship and your SO suddenly floats the idea of an open relationship, LEAVE. You deserve better.
This dude doesn't need f's in chat. He needs w's.
