Yes, I have... and I believe most everyone does, whether they think they are or not in their head. If a person you've been possibly interested in or wanting to know if a more permanent relationship would work out, they become available (because, come on guys, timing doesn't just mesh-up perfectly like in a movie)... of course you should be fine with doing so. You are NOT married or belong to someone like property and are untouchable now just because you are dating one person. So many out there think so highly of themselves because their timing either worked out or they believe that you have to settle with the cards that you are holding and you have to break-up organically and with no outside interference or influence (otherwise you are a slut or whore or other disparaging label). Only YOU know what you agreed to dedicate to in your current relationship. Dating and pre-marriage relationships are only tryouts and get-to-know-you events in your life. If you become engaged, THEN you are expected to dedicate solely to them and close the door on other possible suitors... but even then, life and love obviously can change... but that's another subject. Dating relationships, are not meant for closing the door on other possible "future wife/future husband" encounters.

I have yesssssss when my previous relationship was seriously on shakey ground. A previous fuck buddy back then who suddenly became single... reached out to me where I mentioned to her at the time that I was in a relationship that wasn't in a good place.

For a period of 3-4 months we were chatting quietly to one another and as soon as my relationship finally ended I was having sex with my fuck buddy again a week later.

I don't feel guilty for my actions because I was in an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship with a woman who had unresolved mental health problems so it was a huge relief to be having sex straight away without any strings attached nor drama.

In a relationship and leaving or looking for another is simply a another way of expressing Body Hopper and/or Body Counter, right?

It’s not the right thing to do. I believe karma bites people who mess around.

Nope. If you’re not happy. Break it off.

Yes, right now i'm. Because the girl is just average for me, but still try to make her as happy posible. I'm open to a diferent relationship in this way because my last 2 relationship did the same and personaly i don't want to put my trust in nobady in this moment.

In the moment i finde somebody who want to be whit me first i will brake up whit my girlfriend now and change it.
