Hi there! I’m new here, but I’m glad I found this forum. Recently I’ve been thinking about the idea of opening my relationship.
I have a boyfriend of 2 years, and I am currently pregnant with our first child! I have learned that my boyfriend has repressed sexual feelings for men, and has for a while. We’re in a committed relationship, but since these feelings have just recently surfaced, I don’t think it’s fair for him not to be able to explore. But ai wanted to learn more about opening the relationship for him to be able to explore before I bring it up to him.
Any personal experiences, or general advice would be very greatly appreciated.
Some questions I’d like to ask are as follows:
I appreciate anyone taking the time to read and share their thoughts! Thank you!

Some questions I’d like to ask are as follows:
- Are we still considered “committed” to each other if he is allowed to explore outside of the relationship?
- What kind of boundaries can I discuss? (I wouldn’t want him to explore romantically, or with woman, is that ok?)
- Can relationships be open “part time”? (I kind of just want it open for him to be able to explore)
- Is it inevitable that he will leave me? (I understand it’s possible, if he decides he wants to explore romantically)
- Is it too much that I demand proof of his partners to be tested before he does things with them?
I appreciate anyone taking the time to read and share their thoughts! Thank you!
