Open relationship?

I’m not here for these streets it seems. A guy from a different country has been wooing me and everything. And before anyone thinks catfish, we already have seen each other on video and he’s legit. The only issue is if we were to date, he asked what I feel about having an open relationship. I was always someone who fantasized of a monogamous relationship, the straight fairytale type of life. A kid or too, nice house, making have a bbq on the weekends and a low key vibe, maybe have a few friends over. So when he asked me this I kind of went into panic mode. Now, it’s too early for me to say but I can see him and I in a ltr. So,should I get over this? What is y’all’s advice.

1) how long have y’all been talking?

 

2) what is your past relationship history?

It's not for everybody. 

 

If you truly don't feel comfortable doing it or get jealous easily, then I'd steer clear. If it's something you're willing to try, give it a shot and see what happens.

If it makes you panic, then he is not  for you I fear. Say no and see what his reaction will be lol

You are already incompatible. Learn to put yourself first. Dont force those feet into cinderella's shoes, it just aint yours.

If you don't want an open relationship then don't be in one. It is not for everybody and trying to force it to fit you is ill-advised and unhelpful. It's important to be upfront about what you want out of a relationship.

You have to be mature to handle an open relationship. You also have to be honest. If you can be both of those things, you can handle an open relationship.

Well for starters I don't think you will be having children with an online boyfriend sis :monkey:

 

but open relationships only work if both people are into it. Otherwise you will always feel cheated on or vice versa. It's why so many straights who try the open relationship or open marriage are really miserable because it's usually forced upon by one of the partners

He’s from a different country and he prbly rarely see’s you. I would take it he’s been messing with other guys anyways and can you blame him. 
 

 

Save yourself and stay single.

don't do it unless you really want to. and if you two live in separate countries don't even get into a relationship with him, let alone an open relationship

isn't sex one of the activities you can choose to do when you hang out with someone?

and that's what sex is?

a hang out session?

see i can write a whole essay on this :cm:

but my thing is, all relationships are open until you close them.

and until you are in a committed relationship you are actually in an open relationship with all of your partners :cm:

Posted

this committed relationship could be between just you and one other person, or you and several people and i would still consider it a committed relationship if you are committing to those people :cm:

The fact that people can date someone else just by chatting through internet.

I can't :mazen:

Open "relationship" isn't a relationship. Cut him off, especially since you want to have a family one day and live a meaningful life, find someone who wants to enjoy having romantic and communicative time with you and build a life together with you.

DON'T do it, no matter how much you like him.

It's there and it's pretty normal, but it makes sense when it's a relationship where the 2 live with each other and consider themselves the main parts of that relationship, and let's say from time to time, they both enjoy getting together with different guys for fun. You can do it outside of where both of you live tho, tbh it would be so much better than having someone cheat on you which is what happens most of the time.

This isn't really fair to say. Open relationships can work, it just has to be 100% mutual. But to say a couple is not in a real relationship because they sleep with others even though they love each other and come home every night isn't true.

It seems that it's not for you so don't force it or you'll get hurt. I for one think an open relationship is a excuse to ***** around without feeling bad about it and no ma'am, if you like or love me but want to **** other people too, you may as well find someone else because I'm not going through that...
