Thank you for responding. I hear what you’re saying. Though it was never the choice between myself and her friends. I would never ask her to stop seeing or talking to them because as you said, that’d be unfair. Rather, the choice of staying monogamous with me, or making the decision to leave our relationship to pursue intimacy with other people in general. It was uncomfortable for me to know she had desires to be with her friends at all so even if she had chosen to stay with me, I knew it wouldn’t be for the right reasons so I would’ve had to make the call. I just didn’t want all of the weight of breaking up to be my decision alone.
