How would you react if your boyfriend/girlfriend

[lovecrazy]

told you they wanted to date other people?

 

As is you think about it, but apparently havent acted on it!

[annie24]

I would tell them that the relationship is over. they are now free to date other people.

[ElektraHere]

Oh Win,

 

I would say with all you have been through and to have someone say that? I would say the same thing Annie has said.

[AntiLove_SuperStar]

I'd say

 

"Do you want to be single? You are now! Bye bye!"

[lovecrazy]

Here is my take on it:

 

I always have thoughts of it...I feel its normal to what to know what is on the otherside of the fence....but not to act on it...and to be honest with me shows a lot of respect, and that he trusts me with his feelings...

 

BUT I also feel it is a huge disrespect, that is why I try and push it out of my mind...Because I am happy where I am....and that I know there is nothing out there, that is better...or that I want to find.

 

I mean...heck I dont know..but I think our relationahip is over...I get to pick him up from work then go my mother's house YAY!

 

(He has two ruptured disks and cant drive, he is on meds, So I am being nice, and driving him to work)

[annie24]

hm. so you are being nice, driving him to work, and he wants to see other people. do you get to keep being his nurse though??? that is the big question!

[kellbell]

I would have to say I will not tolerate it and let him go.

 

If you thinking about dating others or wondering what it would be like to date others...perhaps it is time to evaluate your current relationship. IMO, it is not a good sign.

NO...if we break up this evening I am going home! And not dealing with him anymore!

[annie24]

why didn't you break up with him the second he wanted to start dating other people?????? tell him to find his own ride. leave him this very second.

[kellbell]

That's messed up. I would show him the door. You deserve better, honestly.

[lovecrazy]

Well we did for the most part break up...

 

I am too nice to let him get a DUI..but after today I am done!

[annie24]

he can get a taxi

It's a fatal sign, in my view. If the person is thinking about dating others, that means they aren't plugged into the relationship they are in. Very unfair to you ... and probably a good sign that you should leave the relationship.

[Dako]

If he has the chutzpah to tell you that as you care for him, he must be a brave fellow. Brave enough to go.

[Considerate Empath]

Agree with everyone else here - if he says he wants to date other people, show him the door.

Well, it's ok to date other people...if you 'both' have this stance on things. Eg, you want to as well - aka open relationship. But when one person wants this and the other doesn't, well it's not going to work and is not fair for anyone involved, especially the person who doesn't want it.

 

At least he has been honest, so you can make a decision for yourself. If you you want monogamy (like most people do) don't compromise your needs and go along with this. Find someone who wants only you. He's sending you a warning message.

[yeawutever]

Then there would be no relationship anymore, simple as that!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beyondthesea]

Saying they want to date others equals they want to break it off, and they have someone else in mind.

[novaseeker]

Saying they want to date others equals they want to break it off, and they have someone else in mind.

 

I agree ... it means no more BF/GF because BF/GF = exclusive.
