    Every time I abided by an open relationship ,I was just enabling a super shitty situation. My friends have similar experiences.

    You claim that I’m relying on anecdotal evidence, but so are you. I don’t see why your comment is in any way more valid than my comment.

    But hey have fun with your girlfriend having sex with other dudes, most likely with a lot more ease than you can have sex with other women. If you’re really super secure in your way of life, then my disapproval shouldn’t bother you.

      I’m countering your anecdotal evidence with my own, and between us I’m not the one trying to limit people to one or the other.

      You got some shit to work through that we won’t fix today but I hope you get to it eventually, genuinely.

        Jesus Christ the projection. If you think everyone who has an issue with open relationships is mentally unsound, you’re gonna have to fix the vast majority of the country.

          I said that monogamy can hide issues, and that people are totally able to be emotionally intelligent and secure while preferring to be monogamous. You’re not so good at this “reading” thing, are ya?

          And ya know what, we’ve seen plenty of examples of people being pretty shitty, on purpose or not, and could really use people getting better. There are a LOT of people who support Donald Trump, are we going to argue that sheer numbers makes them correct?

          So, yea, we do have a lot to fix. Sticking our heads in the sand and pretending nothing is wrong isn’t a solution, you coward.
