My girlfriend and I have an “open” relationship. It’s really great because it shows how much we care about each other, and that our love operates on a deeper level than just physical interaction. Me and Julie are more than just animal lust. A lot of people are intrigued by this but don’t know exactly what an “open” relationship is. “What are the ‘rules’, Porter?” they ask. Well, I’d be glad to explain.
The way it works is, my girlfriend sleeps with whoever she wants, whenever she wants, and with however many people she wants. She can have sex with anyone, do anything she wants with them, no questions asked by me.
And then I stay at home and keep my nights “open”.
In case she wants to actually sleep with me.
Which she… well, she doesn’t.
I know this doesn’t sound like the most… fair arrangement. But it was this or breaking up, she said.
And I couldn’t stand to lose her.
Which I guess I did anyway.
Fuck.
