He Wants An “Open Relationship”

My girl thought she found the man of her dreams, until he announces  a month later that he really likes her but he still wants to have his ” freedom.”  Freedom to see other people.  Not being your typical Lebanese girl my girl agrees to this openness IF AND ONLY IF she too can enjoy the perks of having the comfort of being with someone while enjoying open- access to the buffet. Fair enough. No?  And well what do you know… he says ” NO WAY.”

She dropped him in a heartbeat. Sure this guy’s a retard but you’ll be surprised by  how many guys have the nerve to be so vocal about the double standards they think they can practice in relationships.  His justification  ” I’m a guy, it’s different.”  Now how many times have we heard this one before?  I’ve heard the biological make-up excuse which frankly disgusts me, you know the one they use to explain why physically it’s ok for guys to see other women, but with a woman you’ll always ” know” where she’s been.

I’ve heard the social excuse  “what would people say, if they knew the girl I was seeing was seeing other guys?” I’m sure many of you can name the other lame excuses that comes with such an explanation.

So, why is it socially unacceptable for girls to “see” more than one man, but guys can brag about dating multiple girls? And how did we not shoot this hypocrisy down from day-one? Bisoux

What do you mean you want an "open relationship too?"
