Me and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship. We have been for about 7 months now, and we have an absolutely great relationship. We love each other very, very much, and we have it great together. The only problem is that being in a long distance relationship, we can't see each other often, only about once a month, and because of certain reasons I can't go see her when ever I want.
And my girlfriend being a very physical person, feels like she needs physical contact with me, and since she can't get it from me, she's asking for a break of about a week to be with another guy who obviously likes her. She is saying that because she feels that she needs to be close to someone, that she is going to "accidentally" end up doing too much with some guy, and hurting me a lot.
I told her I would forgive her, because I love her, but she wants me to be able to trust her. And I don't know what to do. The fact is we talked about it for a long time, and we figured out that it is the best option for both of us, because she gets what she wants, the contact with someone that she wants, and it's the thing that would hurt me the least. It was either that, or an open relationship, and I don't like that choice at all, but the thing is that it's still going to hurt me a lot, and I'm not exactly sure how I'll react to it, and I'm not sure how things will be with me and her afterward, and I'm worried.
Does anyone have any good advise that would help me, and if anyone does not understand what I explained then ask about what you don't understand.
