    Justified doubts or wrong expectations?

    Thank you all for the advice. The last week, I felt so angry, confused, hurt,... I made the abrupt decision to break up with him. He'd just bought a book about intimacy and really wanted to work things through. But I just couldn't do it anymore, I was so broken and tired. I had lost myself in...

    Justified doubts or wrong expectations?

    Hello again, A few months ago I opened a thread about sex rejection in an open relationship. Long story short: My boyfriend and I decided to be monogamous again and he'd go to a counselor for his burn-out and minor depression. We have a relationship and live together since one and a half year...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I understand your concern. I'm very sure my soft feelings for him won't outweigh the certainty that it's best to leave him if he breaks an agreement again. That's how I see it now. I can forgive him this one last time and choose to stay with him because of my soft feelings. But if my trust is...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Oh, I almost forgot! I've always felt that there was something 'special' (in a negative way but I don't want to name it like that) about him. Especially his limited communication and emotional skills always made me think about Autism Spectrum Disorder (asperger syndrome in particular). This...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I know you mean this kindly :) And I do want to hear it, because I also thought about it. So I hope it doesn't sound like I want te defend him (and myself for making this decision). We live together, and giving him a last chance isn't really a last chance if I'd move away from him. Besides, it...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I hope you guys don't mind that I'm continuing my story here. It's nice to have a safe place where I can talk about my relationship with people who don't know us in real life. We had a relaxed and fun weekend, but I still had many doubts about us. Two days ago, my boyfriend suddenly texted me...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Yes, it is. He already dated other people in the past, with the chance of having sex with them. But at that time, I never was this jealous because I knew that it wouldn't change anything between us. While now, I have so many doubts and feel so hurt and insecure about his sexual rejection, that...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Thank you, Shaya! By the way, I haven't asked to cancel his date with the other girl and I also don't expect him to do this. But still, I know I'd feel very hurt if he ends up having sex with her next week. I even think it would be the point where I'd decide to really break up (even when we...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Thank you all for you advice! I thought about it and talked with my boyfriend last weekend. I told him that I can't continue our relationship like this, and that I'm thinking about breaking up. It was very unexpected for him and he seemed quite shocked. I explained my feeling about his sexual...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I tried talking about it with my boyfriend. After many many questions and different ways to try to communicate about it, he told me why there are periodes he doesn't want sex. He said he often is scared to hurt me and that he wants to seek a good balance between attention for me and attention...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I'm just wondering: would it be normal for a guy in a relationship to have more sexual interest in other girls than in his own girlfriend? I know you can't generalize all men, but I'm curious about it. Maybe most men experience this but just don't have the freedom and possibilities to openly...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    All the reactions I get here, areexactly the reason why I post a problem like this in a forum about polyamory. You all have a very different (and I would like to say: more healthy and down-to-earth) way to look at relationships! I can love him like that, yes, I already do now! But it would be...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    I can imagine that this will be a problem in all his future relationships? I also wonder if there isn't any agreement to reach. I can live and love with the idea that his sex drive orientated towards novelty, as long as he is willing to combine it with showing sexual interest in me (at least...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Thank you for your reaction! That's the complicated part! The first thing we really had in common was our high sex drive and the way we want to express our sexuality in a relationship. All other aspects of our relationship had to grow and fortunately turned out just fine! I just don't...

    Sex rejection in open relationship

    Hello everyone, I know that this forum is about polyamory, but I think you could also have the insight to say something about an (un)healthy open relationship. My boyfriend and I are together for one year and we also live together. We were very sexually active in the beginning of our...
