We have been together for 3 years now and we have discussed taking the next steps, but recently something happened which has made me very uneasy.
So we are both big fans of White Lotus series and while watching it we were discussing whether Cameron and Daphne have an open relationship or do they just cheat on each other while pretending to not notice what the other is doing? And it was during this discussion that she said it would be so much fun for them if they just agree to an open relationship. So I asked if she would like it and she said sure, if I agreed then she would have no objections to it and it will be fun.
Now I know people have open relationships and are happy in it but I am not one of them. I am a simple guy who wants a monogamous relationship. And this disclosure from her has now me doubting our future, I dont want to get married and have kids only to have this bomb dropped on me that my wife wants an open relationship. I just dont know what to do here guys. I really like her and we are compatible in most regards but this conversation has thrown a wrench in our situation.
I could really use some advice here Reddit. I didnt expect my year to end like this in turmoil.
