Is it normal for my girlfriend to want other people?

Hey, recently my girlfriend cheated on me. This was at a time when i was very sick, so it was hard to deal with.

Anyway, four days after telling me that she cheated, she suggested a "polyamorous relationship." this is basically asking me if i would allow her to do the same thing she had been apologizing for for four days, hook up with other guys.

I'm very in love with her, and she says she's been in love with me for 3 years now. I think that an open relationship is probably morally wrong and the fact that she suggested it very hurtful. she says she can not see my viewpoint, and "wants to be able to meet people and love people and get to know them."

I see no way that hooking up with someone would help you to really get to know them better. i believe it would just perpetuate a superficial relationship.

Is it normal to want more than one guy? she says she's content with me, but doesn't want to be restrained. she says it's not about sex, but i can't help think it's a little. . . skanky and emotionally selfish

sorry for ranting, but thank you all for your help!

  • If she really loved you, you would be enough, and she wouldn't have cheated in the first place. This is probably her way of getting around to other guys while still keeping you as a back up plan

    I've actually been just like your girlfriend. It might not be the same for her, but I had only been with my first boyfriend when we were going out and after we started hooking up i started to wonder about how other boys were so one day i went to a party and got smashed and hooked up. I never really felt bad about it i didn't even tell him. Then i started doing it more and more i even got so slutty i would cheat on him right in the middle of the party. well one day he asks me if i only love him and he catches me hesitating to answer so i told him i cheated on him. he was my best friend and we'd been going out for almost as long as you have and i liked sex and stuff with him, but i didn't get the same rush.

    I broke his heart and he forgave me but i ended up cheating again and he saw a picture on myspace. he broke up with me and i cryed seeing him crying but never really felt bad.

    but now i think about him every day. the thing you have to realize is that hooking up with someone new is always fun and exciting, but sacrificing love for that excitement makes you a whore. i was a huge whore for what i did. being in anyone else's arms or feeling another person's lips just isn't the same as with him. i know it sounds corny but he was my soul mate. he broke up with me 4 years ago and i can not go a single day without thinking of the biggest mistake i've ever made. i know i will love him forever, and you only get that kind of love once in a lifetime.

    if i could go back i would never leave him. i would marry him, because after losing someone you'll love forever, especially to some slutty hook ups, it feels like you're missing a part of yourself.

    hope this helped and i hope your girlfriend realizes that she has in fact been a complete slut and a terrible person just as i was. if she doesn't realize, at least take comfort that she will never be happy without her true love even if she deludes herself into thinking she is.

    Stop being a little pussy and dump that whore. Before you dump her do something really messed up to her, try to ruin her as much as you can and then leave her in the dust and find someone better. If you have pictures of her having sex, post them on her facebook wall or send them to family and then cut all contact, find a new girl, and feel happy over the conquest and victory.

    Basically, don't let anyone walk all over you, not even if that person has a vagina. Just because someone has a vagina doesn't mean they someone should be treated better; if she isn't good or is a whore then treat her like a whore, there are billions of other vagina's out there, unfortunately alot of them are worthless. Just don't let her win, dude. It's human against human, not guy versus girl at that point, don't compromise and don't show any mercy towards the cvnt.

    Clap clap clap! Bravo! Polyamourous is the way to go, polygamy is good for you instead of being with one person forever (oh no, forever, oh God no!). I couldn't have figured it out myself! You're a champion to be monogamous! 'Till death do you part", very unholy! Very horrible! Be polygamous, sleep in a pile of a million dollars with lucky number nine hot babes! She doesn't want to have sex with you, well cheat on her back and be emotionally selfish!

    honey, i'm sorry that you love her, because a person like that can't truly love. you may be the best thing in the world to her but a polygamist simply can not care the same way a normal person can. Unless she gets over being what she truly is (a dirty skanky cheater)she'll never make anyone happy except creepy sexually abused weirdos like herself.

    You seem to care so much though i hope she realizes what we all do a little to late. that she should hang on to you. and if she doesn't, give me a call. anyone would be lucky to have a bf who forgives them for cheating, let alone loving them through all this bitch has done to you. I say drop her in the gutter. to have a love like yours... anyone in their right mind would return it forever and ever. (assuming you actually like each other!)

    srsly though if it doesn't work out. it'll hurt you more than her just because you have actual feelings. i just hope she stops being a wh**e for your sake :-P

  • It is skanky. And the fact that she suggested it is pretty fucked up. If I were you I would drop her ass because if you tell her no (which is the smart thing to do) she will do it anyways only behind your back.

    If she really loved you she 1. Would have never cheated on you and, 2. Would never have wanted an open relationship.

    She isn't worth the heartache, drop her on her ass.

    Since then she has told me that she wants to be with me no matter what, but i don't like the feeling that staying with me should be a sacrifice, and she still can't see why polyamory is wrong.

  • clearly this girl is comfortable for you and loves you, but she is not IN love with you. do you know what i mean? you guys have been together for a long time so she loves you in a sense of respect and closeness, but she wants to explore because shes not in love with you. she doesn't want to just leave because she a)doesnt want to hurt you or b)is too scared to be on her own with out a crutch
