Reply to comment by breachofmorals in My girlfriend (F22) and I (F20) have been together for almost a year now. When we got together we had agreed that it's alright for us to have "sides", but now when it really happens I feel conflicted. by breachofmorals
So your in an open relationship.
This eaither works or it doesn't.
It works by both parties approaching that they honestly want the other to be totally fulfilled and happy while prioritising each other but being very very accepting of each other.
Jealousy is a difficult emotion to navigate as is fear. Both are natural reactions to someone you love sleeping with others.
Why not make it a three way or share your sides and feel more equal about it
but what happens if their side rejects you... Thats why having extremely clear pre agreed boundaries or just being totally open...
There's always the fear the partner falls in love more then you with a side and leaves. Of course this situation is always possible in any relationship.
Its just can seam more possible when sex intimacy ie basically secondary complete relationships are going on side by side.
