I'm torn between Options B and C. I find that lifestyle to be f*cking deplorable and would NEVER willingly be with someone who respected me so little, she'd be willing to literally cuck me. Or, let's just call it for what it is, CHEAT on me. I only say Option C because I wouldn't know how long I was with this woman or if it was worth breaking up with her for what could just be a joke or innocent desire. But as I said, I would actively avoid being with such a person to begin with, so option B is a strong second choice, at least.
As for you, OP, you might as well spare him the embarrassment and break up with him now, since you don't respect him enough to not want to cheat on him. (And yeah; it's still cheating; no one gives a f*ck if you're open about it.) Now I just feel sorry for him.
My girlfriend and I were poly when we first got together and have since become monogamous. Just because you both agree to try it out, doesn't mean you have to stay in it. But definitely need to communicate. And be cautious if you do decide to take it to that level. There is a ton of literature on the subject, and if he/she isn't interested, than make your decision from there.
Update: we have been together for about 6 months, 4 monogamous, and we are in the beginning stages of opening up closer to a swinger style than poly, and still maintaining our current excitement 😀
I don't think it's a bad idea to bring it up at all. It's much better than going behind your partner's back and cheating on them. But your partner might take it the wrong way. So i think it is best to reassure them that there is nothing wrong with the relationship (like you're happy, feel loved, etc.). But that you want to try something new out because you're unsure if you really want it or not. Having multiple people in a relationship isn't easy since you must make sure everyone's needs, wants, desires, etc. are being met. Think carefully about it first though. Also, you do not have to have like 5 or 8 people in your relationship, it can be as simple as a love triangle.
No. I'd have to break up, since it is something I have zero interest in. If they expressed such interest we would be incompatible, therefore I'd break up because I wouldn't compromise and I wouldn't want them to compromise for me too.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I don't think that just having the idea (or any idea, really) is breakup-worthy in itself, but I know it's not something I could do. I've always been a believer in the importance of having strong friendships outside of a relationship (actually annoyed a girlfriend with this once, when I kept (gently) pushing her to make more friends), but there's a limit.
You know, just forget everything trolls wrote here and go watch the new season of YouMeHer! They made 4 seasons, and I think the story ends - well - there.
That couple then truplet goes through a hell of an interesting ride from beginning to end!
It's like a how-to guide, just with a lot of humour, humanity, comedy and some drama weaved into it, but not in a soap-opera kind of way.
If I told you it was from HBO you wouldn't even blink. Go watch it! It's really good, I think!
Thanks for the recommendation!! I’ll definitely check that out, hopefully it will give me some good ideas :)
Oh, in Monty Python, it is not family-friendly, so... I'm sure they will, I'm sure it will - nudge, nudge, wink, click, click, unzip, unwind... SAY... NO... MORE ! ! ! 😂🤣
Haha I just checked this clip out - hilarious! 🤣
Well we're married so... I would say no and if he goes for it anyway then I'm sending divorce papers his way 🤷🏼♀️
Break up. I don't like sharing
If she brings it up seriously, then all break up with her, obviously we have vastly different ideas of a relationship, intimacy and privacy
Thanks for your input @mark-iv
Im in a poly relationship, so fall in the yes please camp.
It’s a hard thing to introduce as a lot of partners take it as a sign they’re not good enough and get defensive/feel vulnerable.
That's cool if other people want to live their lives with multiple partners but not this chick. I'm a one man woman and he'd better be a one woman man.
I would break up with them on the spot, but I would thank them that they didn't waste any more of my time.
If you want different things, stop leading people on.
Hell no. I’m married and I want a big family.
It takes a special love to have a Polyamorous relationship. Both partners have to accept the idea of their partner having sex with another person.
Obviously, women have the upper hand in finding a willing guy to have sex with.
My last girlfriend and I looked into it. We went to Polyamory meetings and met people in the life style. In my opinion, Polyamory is just a nice way of a 'Condoned Affair' for your partner; Another way of swinging.
I'd dump her ass immediately. Her bringing this up shows she is 'that type' of person. I'm not going to waste my time on a girl who wants to hop on another dick. Begone thot!
The thought of it would be enough for me to break up with them. They are free to do whatever they like then.
I´d break up since he´s thinking about some else besides me. It´s me or it´s nothing. As they say, if you have to choose between me and them, don´t choose me.
What they would really be saying is that they want to have sex with other people. That would be a deal breaker for me.
They wouldn't. I choose my partner's with more care, and any Christian woman true to the name would never have the thought. If they did, it would be clear to me that our relationship was a mistake.
I'd be curious
Not for me.
1. I would be concerned about the increased risk of std and unwarranted pregnancies (either they get my girlfriend pregnant or I get one of the other girls pregnant) either way its a fucking mess.
2. I don't want to share my partner.
3. I think she'd benefit from it far more. Girls have way more options for sex than guys do So she'd probably be fucking guys who are taller, more muscular, better looking and more endowed than me on a weekly basis while I would maybe get lucky once a month with a girl way less attractive than whoever my current girlfriend is.
I dont think I could do an open relationship. There could be a lot of issues with jealously that could drive a wedge through the couple. Something like an agreed upon threesome would be easier as both partners would be there to enjoy the other person and each other. It would depend on the relationship but I couldnt handle my girlfriend or wife did that.
Well just remember when you open the door it's hard to close the door and look at whether you think your relationship's going to be able to handle that I would say the majority that step off in there the relationship doesn't last but I'm sure that a lot of them do so just way your odds and is it worth taking the chance to lose in your partner and are yourself and if you say that it's worth it then go for it have fun don't look back
I would be open to it
