Today, my boyfriend randomly decided to let me know that he believes there's really no such thing as cheating, unless both partners explicitly agree that the relationship is monogamous. And no, he wouldn't agree that ours is. FML

at least he's being honest that he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. if your not ok with being in an open relationship then time to move on.

Tome to get out. You can do better than an asshole like that.

You should have said, "Oh thank God! I was really starting to feel guilty about banging this really hot guy last weekend."

Part of going into a relationship is because you want to be exclusive. If you want to have sex with multiple partners you don't go into a relationship or you tell the other person up front that you want an open relationship. While I personally don't think an open relationship is a real relationship, there are still acceptable terms to entering one. And that would be that you agree on the terms at the beginning, and set ground rules. You don't spring an open relationship on someone after you already started your relationship. Also if someone is not "ready" for a monogamous or serious relationship they shouldn't be in any relationships, because part of relationships are to be inherently serious.

Next! Throw him to the curb and let him be someone else's problem!

And you are still calling it a relationship?

If monogamy is important to you break up with him and let him find someone who doesn't mind not being exclusive. Or you can agree to an open relationship and see what happens the first time YOU decide to step out with someone else. He can't get mad; after all, since you didn't agree to be monogamous, you aren't cheating.

Technically he is correct. Monogamy may be the social standard, but no one is required to conform to that standard. If monogamy is important to you then you need to end the relationship and seek someone who shares your values.

@139 I ran out of edit time. I suppose the argument could be made that because monogamy is the social standard, it should be assumed unless both people agree on an open relationship.
