Double standards

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

Spicy
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

I think you should dump his ass. You deserve to be treated better than that and you should have higher standards than that douche.

YDI for staying with him even though this has clearly been going on for a long time. I'm sorry, OP, but pull yourself together and dump him.

all you people saying open relationship don't work, are wrong we have been together for 19 years an married for 12. you just have to set rules an agree. but the double standard does not work, it has to be for both.

So, since "rules" is a very vague word and you seem to have a working set of them, could you maybe give a few examples of said rules? I'm quite curious as to what they encompass.

Every couple is going to have different rules. Some basics are things like condoms, honesty, not hiding anything. Some have rules that everyone must meet before sex happens. Some have rules about emotional entanglement. (It's okay to play, but no dating.). Some have rules that they only play together (threesomes are fine, but you can't play if I'm not there) Some only play if they are not together, and "no threesomes" is part of the rules. So long as everyone is on the same page (both people in the relationship AND anyone they are sleeping with) why does anyone else care?

Leave him. Even if you can persuade him to come to a compromise whereby both of you can be with other people or neither of you can, you should still leave him. He's obviously much too immature and insecure to be in a relationship. He sounds like a complete idiot. I say don't even bother trying to make things work with that guy.

I vote for dropping his ass. He doesn't deserve you at all.

I agree with bardo264 on this. Also it's not cheating if none of the rules defined by the couple are broken. I've got a friend who's in an open relationship, wasn't his idea nor was he comfortable with it at first but now he's fine with it. That doesn't mean he sleeps around with random people. Also a few weeks ago he had to move 500 km away from his home for his studies. His boyfriend (with who he's been living for years) gave up his job and followed him. I don't call this a failed relationship.

He sounds like an ass but I think ydi for staying with him after he suggested it the first time.
