My girlfriend wants an open relationship; she says she has feelings for someone else but also loves me and doesn’t want to have to hold back impulses and feelings when with this other person. I feel forced into it and she keeps saying she’s confused. I’m sad about this and she’s going out with him in half an hour and it hurts. Reddit what can/should I do?
EDIT: i would have never expected this much support but you people really came through in a way I couldn’t imagine.. and as much as it hurts I can’t deny the obvious truth you’ve all pointed out. I feel so pathetic for the way I reacted it’s hard to be mean when you love someone so much but yes, I will break up with her when she returns.. it’s dawned on me that I really don’t deserve this type of behaviour and anxiety. Will update on how the break up goes. And thank you all for real, I’ve appreciated Reddit like never before tonight
2nd EDIT: I texted her how it’s over and whatnot but she hasn’t returned and I will be keeping the flat all the bills are in my name so she’ll pack her shit cuz I don’t want to waste my time doing that
FINAL EDIT: It is over officially I woke up to go to work and she was sleeping on the sofa. She texted me saying it was probably best to end the relationship (lol it must be a shitty attempt at pretending I didn’t dump her already so she could not feel rejected) and yes! Thank you all it’s done!
