Me and my boyfriend don't talk every day my mom suggests I keep my options open but I'm confused that's our communication style should I listen?

If you have a committed relationship currently, why would you need to keep your options open? You’re in a relationship, so you should focus on that relationship.


Why don’t you two talk everyday? How often do you see eachother? Are you two in a LDR? Have you two talked about having more communication? Is there a barrier that’s preventing you two from communicating daily?


I think it’s important to focus on the relationship rather than “keeping options open.” Because, if you’re happy in your relationship and you want to make it work, you two can easily fix the communication issue. Maybe one call a day, or a few texts daily.


If you were single, or you two just broke up, I would say, yes, keep your options open because you are single and you can find others, but it’s nonsensical to keep your options open/talk to others while in a relationship.

If it doesn't bother you then don't let anyone else's opinions get you thinking BUT if you prefer better communication then that's something you will have to talk about. Otherwise men think it's okay. I know when dating most couples talk everyday but everyone is different.

Your mom mean to say is your mom always keep options open besides she have your father... lol.

No offense, but your mom is wrong on this one.

I see it both ways.
