“My partner and I briefly flirted with an open relationship as a way of dealing with going long-distance when we had intended from the start to break up at that point. We both found ourselves attracted to other people, and agreed we could act on it and see what happened. I didn’t get anywhere with the person I was attracted to (it was a mutual attraction, but she was smart and not prepared to play second fiddle). When we got the chance to get a weekend together for the first time in about four months, any idea of keeping it open went straight out the window. The next four years were tough as hell, but we were both up for it with no doubts at all.”
“A year later, I had my own guilty moment with a different girl — a friend who I went drinking with without realizing she was attracted to me. I went as far as second base with her, but the moment she put her hand on me, it was like a sudden cold shower. I made my apologies and ran away. I called my partner straight away, confessed what happened, and was forgiven in the same call.”
