"Today, a reader reveals how she and her boyfriend decided to have an open relationship...(Would you ever dare?) Here&amp;#x27;s our reader&amp;#x27;s story: After dating my boyfriend for a year and a half, I went out with my friends one night, got drunk and had a fling. It just happened; I felt terrible and was racked with guilt. A couple days later, I asked my boyfriend to have lunch with me, and I nervously confessed everything. How did he react? &amp;quot;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t believe in the concept of cheating,&amp;quot; he said, calmly, as he took a bite of his sandwich. &amp;quot;I&amp;amp;#8217;m not possessive; it&amp;#x27;s not a big deal.&amp;quot; Um, what? I was shocked. He explained that two of his friends had an open marriage, and he&amp;#x27;d seen it work well for them. Suddenly, he turned to me and proposed that we have an open relationship. I was surprised but felt so relieved that he wasn&amp;#x27;t upset about my confession that I agreed. So, we starting having an open relationship. My boyfriend was a writer and stayed home most of the time. (He was endlessly reading the news on his computer!) I would go out to parties and events for work, and he wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t usually want to come with me. So I&amp;#x27;d meet cute guys and hook up with them. It felt good at first, but then just started feeling strange. Looking back, I think I was trying to get my boyfriend to care, to be jealous. I would go out and kiss or hook up with guys. When I would tell him, he wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t seem to mind at all, and I felt bad about that. Didn&amp;#x27;t he care about me? The whole thing just drained the emotion out of our relationship. It was a bizarre experience. We ended up breaking up a year later. I would never have an open relationship again. Maybe it works for some people, but not for me. Wow, thank you for sharing!
