my boyfriend and i practice what we call ‘soft monogamy.’ - meaning we’re not wide open that we’re both always hooking up with other people but the option isn’t forbidden when we’re not together. we just have to tell each other about it within 24 hours.

truthfully, the longer we’ve been together, the less often these other hookups happen since we both find them far less fulfilling than sex with each other. but the option still exists, since we know there will always be physical temptations and we know they’re not a threat to our love.

everyone started going home, he stayed and we ended up getting a few more drinks and talked until 7am in the hotel lobby. He kept insisting on spending the night in my room, but i ended up giving him a hug and sending him off in an uber. Perhaps it was newness of an encounter that made me feel so exhilarated and frankly turned on. I’m pretty sure we would never meet again. I feel good about not breaking my SO’s of 5 years heart and proud for not lowering my standards and exchanging long-term for a secret quickie, but keep getting tormented with “what if" and “life is too short” for not making the most of the situation... fomo at its finest. how do you guys deal with these feelings, is it typical/normal?

Thanks Pwc 1. Glad you guys figured a way that works for your relationship. Communication is key

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
