Not yet (that I'm aware of), but she said she wants to be free to see what might happen, and also that she felt bad about not being here fully for me.
View original postIt's painful either way of course, adding insult to injury that not only she broke up with you but she couldn't even be honest on the full reasons why. But I ask because her asking such a question sounds a bit strange, as if she's suggesting she might reconsider the break-up if only you'd consider an open relationship? Which is still a shitty way for her to act, but a very different situation.
She did say it when she broke up, it was just the previous feelings I felt betrayed about not knowing of. I don't think she was seeking an open relationship, it came up in the context of her previous relationship where the other part was the one feeling for others.
View original postI'm inclined to agree with RT that open relationships must be a lot harder than people may think, though I don't have any personal experience on the topic, and really not all that much experience with relationships in general, or at least not since a long time ago.
View original postEdit: I'm aware these are very personal questions so feel free not to answer obviously.
Here is the one place I feel both comfortable and anonymous enough to bring this up. I will go to talk to a therapist tomorrow where I will also be this open but it feels too sensitive to discuss with my family.
