The text she sent was super long, and he received her text while he was driving in the car. Because of that, he only noticed a couple of things she had said in her message and instantly thought she was dumping him.
“We did end up having a serious discussion about it, and he agreed he’d set some boundaries with her, but this seemed to trigger something in him,” she said.
“He started acting weirdly distant and anxious about our future together. To the point that he broke up with me last Friday. The explanation he gave me: he realized he’s not ready for a long-term monogamous relationship, even though I’m perfect and everything he’s ever wanted. He says he believes in free love and wants to experience open relationships. That I deserve someone who can give me what I need.”
“I find his explanation very hard to believe… we had discussed the whole open/monogamous thing prior to starting the relationship, and he seemed very happy and satisfied with what we had. Maybe I’m just in denial… but I think he’s making excuses because he got scared? Scared of the commitment, scared that I might leave him as his ex-wife did. Like he had to leave before I left him.”
The breakup conversation went alright, and in the end, he mentioned wanting to stay friends with her. She informed him that she didn’t want to be friends and she didn’t want him to speak to her again.
Although they are no longer together, she’s left with more questions than answers. She’s curious if he was just acting out of fear and if they really can get back together and get to the bottom of things.
“Or do we just have different views on monogamy, and it’s a good thing he ended the relationship early on?” she wondered.
