Open relationships are awesome, especially when long-distance. Unless either of you is jealous and clingy, well then that's no fun.

yeah. sounds great to me, but marcs pretty traditional. i'm not sure if he'd go for it. and if he doesn't? do i just end it there? i like him, you know, but its a crappy circumstance.

its all bullshit obviously. the solution is either to break up now or suck it up and deal with it. simple, you're just making it complicated because neither option is easy.
Second point, why is someone waxing on about houses and kids and cohabitation but not willing to sacrifice school plans for same? I call bullshit.

incidentally "Open relationships" are for cowards who want their bread buttered on both sides and are trapped in childhood egotism, can't accept that loss is a constant part of life.

*raises eyebrow* That's incredibly dismissive. Have you tried it?

Monogamous relationships require sacrifice, and compromise, yes. In fact, any relationship requires some kind of compromise. Open relationships generally work for people who are a) polyamourous, b) don't have a defined sexuality, and c) in situations like long-distance relationships in which people simply want the physical affection they can't regularly get from the other person, which sounds pretty reasonable. It definitely takes compromise, and it's definitely not for everyone.

So Meg, do whatever makes sense to the BOTH of you. Like I said, it takes a really open mind to pull it off... and if you think it won't sit well with him, then it just won't work, period.

furthermore, instead of a "a harem of guys" why not concentrate on your own self as a human person, regardless of reference to males etc., perhaps just the idea of being a complete person without need for validation and sexual approval of other would be "reasonable," I surely think so.

yes, well that's kind of a running joke, but yes i agree. it'll be a full semester coming up too, one that i would do well to concentrate on more so than i have in the past since if i fail a class this semester, i stay for another. dire consequences.

well if you agree then forget about this kind of stuff for awhile and work on getting out of the piscean swamp and into real and powerful passions of your very own. make something for yourself for a change. imagining you standing tall in a creative life without some man in the social-networking-site-photo-foreground is very beautiful to me.

Tact doesn't permit me to say more in this forum. Sorry for commenting on your life uninvited, i don't really know a damn thing about it.
