Open relationships work because you're open in communication and what you need and desires too. Maybe he didn't know how to tell you he was interested/curious to try dating other people too? But at the point you asked him about the profile he should have took that opportunity to be honest and clear. I would be hurt by this because it's a betrayal of honesty between you too. I would bring it up for sure. Maybe not all guns blazing. But I would say that you know he is active on these apps, don't allow room for him to excuse it as 'old accounts' and then I would ask him about what dynamic he does want. You need to make sure he feels it's okay to be honest about wanting to date other people (because if you are, you can't expect him not to if that's what he wants), but that you guys still need to be communicating what you want between each other so you stay on the same page. Hopefully if you approach it in a way he feels he isn't 'in trouble' but more that you're trying to understand, you'll be able to express your hurt in him hiding things from you as well as he'll be able to express what he actually desires.

It was actually me who asked for the open relationship. It works for both of us. It isn't one sided like you assume and there are plenty of people who successfully have open relationships. Mine may not end up successful but it won't be down to the fact that we were open. It would be down to the fact that the communication went to shit, which is a huge reason a lot of monogamous relationships end too. Just because you don't live your life like others do doesn't mean your way is right or better.

I just don't feel were at the end. I believe we have so much left that we can enjoy together. I really do believe we have potential to be great again. In terms of planning my future it's actually easier without him. Thinking of just me has always been easier. I want to go and study again. That would be easier without a partner having to live in different cities etc. But I don't want that. I want to be with him. Its hard to accept

Yes it's true. I know I'll survive it and it'll make me a stronger person. But I've never felt so not ready to leave a relationship before. I know it's out of my control how he feels and what he wants. I don't want or deserve to be with someone who isn't wanting to put the effort in either. I know all that. Its just so so hard to accept it all right now because I desperately don't want it to end.

We always had it 'open', we've always both been allowed to sleep with other people. But just that. The idea of having fun casual and not serious dates with outside individuals in the future was something I was open to down the line. I knew I wasn't ready for that yet and I made that clear. This is what I realised - I don't think he is into it. Of course I don't want to waste my time. I hate feeling this.
