She’s In An Open Relationship, But Her Fiancé Is Upset That She’s Interested In A New Guy
Times are forever changing, especially when it comes to relationships. Lately, monogamy is often looked at as a “thing of the past.”
Society has taught us to find that one person and reach the ultimate achievement, marriage.
However, most of us have a hard time wrapping our heads around the idea of staying with one person for the rest of our lives.
Open relationships have become quite popular nowadays; but, where do the boundaries begin, and the lines end when it comes to having multiple partners?
According to this young woman, not a marriage.
“My bf who’s now my fiancé and I have an open relationship where I get to pick and choose my partners but he doesn’t sleep around with anyone else, as far as I know, he never cheated on me and expressed that he doesn’t want to,” she explained.
Clearly, she sets the boundaries for this relationship. But unfortunately, her fiancé has no choice but to solely stick by her side because she is jealous and prefers the arrangement to stay how it is.
She recently met a man in his 50s, divorced, and has children. She is super attracted to him and hasn’t done anything with him yet. I mean, they haven’t even kissed.
While this relationship to her seems pretty normal, her boyfriend is jealous and wants her to cut it off. In addition, she claims her boyfriend is physically intimidated by him.

“…I genuinely feel a very strong attraction towards this man, perhaps I’m strongly projecting my daddy issues on this guy,” she said.
“I didn’t have a healthy masculine presence growing up and was raised by my stepdad who for better or for worse could never fill the shoes that my real dad left behind.”
Looking over her situation, she wants to respect her fiancé’s wishes, but she also can’t ignore how strong her feelings are for this other guy.
She’s curious, is there a middle ground where she can have both men? Putting her jealousy aside, she even offered to bring another woman into the mix so that she could keep seeing this man.
“I tried negotiating with my bf, telling him that I could bring another girl into mix, do whatever he wants but he’s adamant about this particular topic,” she added.
Should she continue with her relationship? Or should her fiancé leave her behind to find someone who will genuinely respect his wishes?
Some people have commented on her situation, and the only support they are giving in this scenario is for the fiancé to leave her!
At the end of the day, what would you do?
