Should I get back together with my ex? So a brief history, we were together for a long while, lived together, loved each other, were each other's first love and she ended up cheating on me. Honestly, I was mad that she lied to me about it more than anything but I ended up moving out for a while, and then i moved back in and we started having sex again but never officially got back together. She's been pressuring me to get back together and the thing is I can see myself raising kids with her, but this whole experience has made me realized that I am young and want to explore sexually. So I was thinking of entering an open relationship with her, because I do miss her and want to be with her but I also don't want to be tied down, I guess. The problem is she's not sexually as open as I am (ironic that she's the one that cheated, huh) so I don't know if this would just upset her. I'm just confused, she is my best friend and I don't want to lose her. She's helped me through really difficult times and I still am in love with her. I just feel confused sometimes about our relationship, myself, my sexuality, just everything. Its more confusing because I have to send in my lease soon, and that will contract me to live with her and that's freaking me out. I don't know what to do! Any advice would be much appreciated!!!
Welp, disregard this, after typing this we got back together as an "open relationship". Opinions would still be great though, I love any feedback.
Honestly, I'd say don't hold your breath on it working in the long run. Open relationships often don't work at our age.
Oh man, You can't be serious! This is doomed the second she was with another man. You are young you say? Then there is no reason at all to lock yourself into this kind of trouble. I know it "feels" dificult to leave, But you have to. Definitely keep her as a good, close friend if you feel that she is worth your respect and attention. But the person who needs your attention NOW is YOU. Don't put yourself in the line of a speeding bullet. It is not a matter of "if" she will cheat on you again, it is a matter of "when" she will cheat on you again.
