Her Boyfriend Threatened To Dump Her If She Didn’t Agree To An Open Relationship, But Now He’s Jealous She’s Having A Wonderful Time
More than a month ago, this 23-year-old girl and her 29-year-old boyfriend opened up their relationship, and it was not because she requested this.
Her boyfriend actually demanded that she agree to an open relationship. He threatened to dump her if she did not say yes, so she felt she had no choice but to give in to him.
“He made up a bunch of reasons, but now it’s obvious he just wanted to be able to sleep around again,” she explained.
“I wasn’t a fan of the idea, but I agreed, and honestly, I really am enjoying it. But now he seems like he isn’t.”
Now, back when she first started dating her boyfriend, their relationship was open, and she was aware that he was hooking up with a ton of other girls.
She was not engaging in this kind of behavior, as she does believe in monogamy on some level, and she thought being with another guy was wrong.
She also was already in love with her boyfriend at that point in time, and she just wanted to be with him and nobody else.
In the last few weeks, her old opinion of monogamy has changed. She is dating other guys currently, and it’s been lovely for her.
Guys are taking her out for dinner and purchasing her presents. Her boyfriend has never done anything like this for her, in case you’re wondering. She’s just very excited with the guys she’s meeting, and they’re all excellent people.

Although she’s enjoying herself, her boyfriend hasn’t had the same good fortune. He has only met a handful of girls who have not been great.
When she and her boyfriend had the conversation about opening their relationship, they both said they would keep communication open about what they were doing with other people.
She has been holding up her end of their deal and sharing with him what’s happening on her end, which is only making him extremely upset.
She has questioned her boyfriend about whether or not she should quit telling him all the details, but he said no.
She also has asked her boyfriend if he would like to stop with the whole open relationship thing and go back to monogamy, but he’s declined this offer from her.
“I now limit the details I tell him (which he doesn’t do for me; he gives very intense [spicy] details to me that I don’t care for…lol),” she said.
“I don’t think he will close the relationship because he’s still trying really hard to meet people, but I can tell he doesn’t like me being with other people, and I feel like soon he’s going to start shutting down any good connections I make. He’s already asked me to stop seeing one person and only gave the reason, “I just have a bad feeling about it.”
“How do I take into consideration all these ways he’s feeling about things while being fair to both of us? I don’t want him feeling insecure in our relationship, but I’m just doing exactly what he wanted us to do.”
