my bf sleeps with everything

deeplydisturbed · #1 May 27, 2009, 06:54 AM

so, i'm 20, dating a guy who's 37. we've been dating for 3 years. we are in an open relationship. but he sleeps with everyone - men, women, transexuals, cross dressers....

and then when i ask him straight upfront, he denies it completely, but i have hardcore proof. and even so he denies it. i'm not really mad at him, just wondering why he denies it? and is it because i'm bad tat bad at sex he finds the need to screw everything and everyone?

i too sleep with both men and women, but not as often as he does. and i'm honest about it. i tell him honestly. but he lies to me, even though i've put empirical evidence in his face.

is it coz he's too shy to admit he's bisexual? is that why he lies about it?

i dont get men.

So why is he still your boyfriend?

You agreed to an open relationship.
You got an open relationship so you either live with it or get out of it.

He could be not telling you because maybe it is more of the thrill to him having an open relationship and having the secret(s). But again you agreed to what you got.

You call this a boyfriend? Hope you get checked for STDs frequently.

Personally, I don't get the idea of an "open relationship"- how's that different than friends with benefits??

Bottom line is that this is the arrangement you agreed to. (Sounds a bit unsafe I must say.) So I don't see why it matters whether he tells you or not. Would it really change anything??

As J9 mentioned, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use protection and get regular STD screenings.

If this were TRULY an open relationship, you would both be up front and honest about every outside relationship you have.

You don't have an open relationship.

You have two people who sometimes screw each other, but are mostly just friends with benefits.

There IS no relationship without honesty and communication and trust---and you don't have any of those things.

Get this guy out of your life.

PS--and get tested for STDs. You're both high risk.

There is a difference between having an open relationship and cheating.

With an open relationship usually couples will tell each other about what they are doing.

He is lying about it, that is cheating.

What is wrong with being monogamous?
Having an open relationship can can a serious effect on your mental health.

Not to mention STD's as J_9 and Synnen mentioned!

Judging from this post, you have a pretty skewed perception on right and wrong...

Yeah it seems like his idea of open is not so open but she should have discussed what she considered open to mean with him before she agreed to anything because to some guys open means open to whatever they want it to mean on their terms.

17 year age difference, open relationship, sex with multiple sexual orientations, bound to cause a couple of problems I would think. I'm actually surprised the biggest problem is just him being a little shy talking about it.
