Am I selfish for asking my boyfriend for a open relationship when I know he can't benefit from it? (Page 2)

[InYourHead]

Why can't he? I don't think it's wrong but he can always say no. If he doesn't want to, that's his call. You both have a right to be happy.

[msc545]

I'm not sure why you think he can't benefit from it but if you really believe that to be true then you should not be asking for an open relationship. If you want to break up with him just break up.

[BoopBoopBeep]

She doesn't want to lose all the perks of being with him. I'd bet he gives her way more princess treatment than most men will and she's digging that. Have her cake and eat it too...

[Dchrls78104]

If I had a girlfriend that asked me for an "open relationship", the door would indeed be open---for her to go out of our relationship and never come back in!

[sheikalana]

If you know that's not for him maybe you should reconsider your relationship.

[Billlewis]

Is it selfish? Probably. Should that stop you from doing it? I would say, no.

[donnny2367764]

Not selfish but not wise. You may find he is a chick magnet at your own expense... and that would serve you right for wanting to be a whore in the first place

[Srij23]

I am somewhat okay when my ex-gf asked for it as we both enjoyed but on later it becomes messy and people want stability. So in my opinion you can try to explore but its good only for short term or just for experimentation.

[rienna888]

Do you love him? If so how come u wanna open relationship?

[Tomsta]

Love and sex can be separate. Also maybe she wants to do things that he doesn't want to. I see no issue with open relationships provided that each partner gets a veto on other sexual partners to make sure no insecurities are triggered

[Heartache0405]

@Tomsta, I don’t believe that love and sex should be separate. I believe that people should only have sex with the one individual to whom they love like no other. I guess I’m just too jealous of an individual to ever have an open relationship. That is if I even did relationships to begin with.

[GoofyGal]

@Heartache0405 I agree with you. I cannot even do an open relationship. That would just cause a trust issue with me.

[Heartache0405]

I already have too many trust issues 😅 I don’t think I have room in the dusty remains of what was once called a heart for more

[Anonymous]

In other words you wanna hop on some other man's dick and be exploited and still run back to him.
I hope for his sake he won't agree to it and tells you "we are over".

Why are you in a relationship with him if you want to be intimate with other men?

[2021biguy]

If he doesn't want an open relationship find someone who does. You should just break up with him since you don't love him enough to be with him only.

[Seangreen]

No you're not selfish not at all you're just a piece of shit

[humpbackjack]

Pretty much but at least you’re giving him the option and not just sneaking around

[emperor90]

Yes it really depends i think that you should stay loyal with him

[zhiiscloud]

If she already has it on her mind she wants to have intercourse with another guy she's probably going to cheat on him or break up eventually.

[emperor90]

Most likely

[Heartache0405]

Women who claim to want an open relationship only want to cheat without getting in trouble for it

[Drumlin2001]

Why can he not benefit from it? Why do you feel the need, what is he not giving you?

[MickHardin]

You already cheated and you want to know what he'd do if he found out.

[Anonuser838383]

An open relationship isn't a relationship at all. I hope he dumps you. you're just making another red pill guy

[888theGreat]

I would dump you like trash you are

[AnthonyJ01]

Why would. he not benefit from it? Are you not wanting to be exclusive yourself, but know that he does.
How would you feel if it were turned the other way and he wanted the open relationship?

[Anonymous]

No. I think you did him a favor. Now he can dump you and find someone else.
