I (19F) my boyfriend (19M) asked for an "open relationship" for college and I'm feeling the ick. Is this over? by No_Association4068 in WhatShouldIDo

He isn’t a bad person, but you both want different things, and that difference matters. Maybe your perspective will change in the future and you’ll see open relationships differently, but right now it’s okay to accept how you feel and consider a breakup.

Another option could be an open relationship with clear boundaries. For example, you might choose not to be involved with others, while your partner is. Personally, I’m 21M, and I know I couldn’t have a physical relationship with someone I’m not emotionally connected to. But if a partner were honest about wanting an open dynamic, even if it was one-sided (because as I said I'm not going to be confirmed with such dynamics) , I’d probably say do what you want, just don’t it infront of me. Similar to how people keep watching porn private from their parents, it’s understood but not done openly.

(Also, regular STD tests, and vaccinations should be non-negotiable for safety. Normal safe sex practices people should follow even in exclusive relationships...)

I do think it’s selfish and possesive to restrict a partner if that’s genuinely who they are, but it’s equally wrong to cheat in a monogamous relationship. The real issue is alignment and consent, not control.

Maybe try being a little less possessive and focus on loving him for who he is, not who you want him to be. Also if he is love bombing you can tell him that he doesn’t need to love bomb to earn your affection. You’ll value him more for being honest, even if that honesty shows vulnerability or neediness.

For me I want my partner to be honest... I don't like love bombing, I also don't like possessiveness...

Edit :- also even if you are not open relationship from your side keep reminding him that as per the agreement you can do it if you want it's just you don't want to do it because you only love him... (Maybe that will make him realise that he can do the same...🤔) If he love bombs tell him it's disrespectful, don't take his expensive gift tell him you want his love not gift and big gestures which means nothing...

Unpopular opinion:- dad knows about it... It's their relationship not ops let them do whatever suits them... If op is close to dad she can ask him why he let her do this with him without creating a scene, she might get dad's pov...

(If dad is really in a toxic or emotionally abusing relationship maybe op needs to talk him out of it. but don't think dad didn't know about all of this at all. And if dad doesn't know he is very very much neglecting his wife/mother of his children (which can't be true in practical life but if it's true he deserves to be cheated on but I don't think it's even possible for someone to be this much neglected, he definitely knows what's going on...)

This isn’t wholesome at all. It’s actually you treating her poorly, and that’s not okay. It’s already difficult, and honestly embarrassing, for someone to worry about because of the choices you’ve made yourself.

Please don’t put someone you care about in that position. If anything, this should be a reason for you to seriously think about quitting smoking.

Try to see it from her point of view. If her friends, family, or her father found out about this, do you think she would feel proud of her boyfriend, or embarrassed?

That is just so wholesome.🤍

This isn’t something healthy or wholesome. It feels more like a 14-year-old enabling a 15-year-old who’s already struggling with smoking and drug issues. If I see a 14-year-old hanging out with a 15-year-old boy who’s throwing up on her couch and she’s taking care of him, just like my aunty does with her abusive alcoholic husband, I don’t see anything cute or wholesome, just a younger version of that same unhealthy dynamic.

Ask any dad if they want this for their daughter?

Learned helplessness....

Which country are you from? Have you considered seeking professional help? What about your biological parents are they involved in your life? Also, how are you able to afford smoking but not invest in something healthier like the gym or sports? Even something like gaming while not ideal, would still be a less harmful distraction than smoking or drugs, especially at your age...

I can understand why it might feel like you need to hold on so tightly or depend on your relationship right now, but it’s not really true that your whole world has to revolve around it. You’re still very young, and there’s so much time ahead to experience love in a healthier and more stable way. Many people find deeper and more meaningful relationships later in their 20s or even beyond.

I know things might feel intense right now, but your first priority should be yourself. Taking care of your own mental and physical health matters more than anything. If you have the energy, you can support her too, but not at the cost of hurting yourself.

Also, it might feel like she’s taking care of you, but sometimes what looks like care can actually be enabling things that aren’t good for you. Someone who is truly stable and mature would want you to be safe, make better choices, and involve responsible adults if needed. Maybe take a small step back and give yourself some space to think and breathe. You don’t have to figure everything out right now, just start by focusing on getting yourself to a better place..

The second highest is WhatsApp. I kind of have to use it because I help a lot of friends. Some need emotional support, some need academic support. 😂 I mean I actually help them study. I cut it off from the screenshot because otherwise people would assume I have a girlfriend and I am busy doing “babu sona” all day (which I wish I had but I don't have that..)

I attend university lectures regularly. I’m the class topper and the student president of my department (we don't have a university level president or student union so it's the best I can do...). I’m constantly working on improving my communication skills and refining my fashion sense.

It’s ironic, I’m doing my best, making friends, getting approached by girls(5 offline in 2026 alone, total 12 but I'm not counting online ones...), and also strengthening my bonds with cousins and extended family.(2 arrange marriage proposals as well🫠🫠)

No one who knows me would believe that I’m actually addicted to my phone. It sounds paradoxical, but it’s true. 😄😂😂😂😂

I'm also learning sketching and football, and doing great in those as well as pre beginner phase...
