my boyfriend of 2 years keeps telling me he wants open and to date others!i dont believe in open and mutiple partners. he tells me he missed out on dating because he got married young and now he needs to sow his wild oats! then we will be together forever? am i stupid to hang on? he is the only man i have ever truly loved!! i am 49 and he will soon be 39 but when we go out he still get carded! hes very young looking and very handsome so he feels he should be able to do what he wants and i need to wait?? thanks, betty
Wow!!! He's 39? I'm sorry to say but he's acting like a teenager!!! He needs to grow up!!! I think you need to cut him loose!!! He's not ready to settle down! You deserve better than that!! You can find someone better! You ARE smart and PRETTY!! You will have no problem at all!! You are better off!!
I think it's time to let him go. Find someone else who has matured because this guy is going through his 2nd childhood and you don't need to be there to mother him through it.

Yes, move on...if you need to find something else-learn a new hobby to keep busy. It is not love, if he wants to date others-no commitment and life would be horrible, no trust.
i want to thank you all for the opening of my eyes!! update!!!
i told him no more i wanted to be free of the emotional torture and abuse!! we stayed up and talked for 2 days!! now we are together only! he told me he saw what life would be like without me and chose to be with me only! that losing me would be the worst thing in his life and i am worth the commitment ! last night he even told me i was his angel and thanked me again for setting him free to see where we were and where we need to be!! he even talking marriage!! but i do believe i will go slow!! thank you again all you wonderful people!@!!!
im going to hold myself abck from answering this to honestly... but i will tell you that you remind me of someone very close nd dear to my heart....and it is very frustrating that a woman who is beautiful and smart would put herself in this situation....you should have more respect for your feelings and especialy for love.... its our best and worst feeling and if we are unwise it will make us do bizzare things.. like not realize how wonderful one peraon is... as for him.. he is an idiot (sorry ) and i dont know your situation or what kinda "man" he is but hes sooooo now worth it..... as for thi talk you had with him....i onl hope he is worth it....and not taking advantage of you or a liar
