Double standards

By onlywantuanyway - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff

Today, my boyfriend again told me how he wants to have an open relationship. Of course, this means he can do what he likes with anyone, but if I so much as kiss someone else, I'm a cheating slut. FML

That's just an excuse to go sleep with another girl. Tell him how you feel. If he doesn't accept it, move on.

Hm, usually in a relationship the partner with more power is more likely to cheat/have a wandering eye. He is completely self absorbed, misogynistic and probably insecure underneath it all. Don't worry, in time you'll find a better man!!

I better see a follow-up in which you assure us that you broke up with that asshole.

He just wants an excuse to cheat without the repercussions because "you gave him permission to" according to him. Leave his sorry ass for someone who actually sees you're worth so much more than that.

Ditch him... He's got no respect for you if he wants that sort of double standard. There are many better men out there, don't settle!

Told you again? If you stayed with him after the first time, it's your own fault. You already knew he was a pig and you chose to stick around anyways. Call it a life lesson.

You're dumb for not instantly telling him to **** off.

I have a feeling he's probably already cheated on you, which is why he keeps pushing for an open relationship. Break up with him OP, you deserve better.

Open relationships are one thing, if they can agree and are happy, more power to em but that is just hypocrisy and a disgusting personality. Trust me darlin, leave that chump

Personally I don't understand an "open relationship". To me that basically means you have a booty call and aren't exclusive. But to each their own. OP never actually states whether they want an open relationship if it was equal. So who knows? But somehow this feels like boyfriend already has cheated and doesn't want to have to hide it any more. Especially since it's "again".

For people who know how to not equate romance and sex, and view sex as not the defining nature of a relationship, it shouldn't be that difficult to understand the idea, in theory.

OP's username suggests she does not want an open relationship.
