They wanted an open relationship. I said NO. Then they broke up with me. I'm supposed to act nice and be my typical sweet self, but i simply cannot handle them being so immature. I don't love that way, and that's final. I opened up to them more than I have to anyone in my life and this. Of course they acted like they cared about me, but I guess i'm not enough for them.

I am sure they did care about you. You simply could not be in a open relationship, and they wanted one. Super incompatible there. I would do the same to be honest. I am not monogamous, and if asked to be monogamous, I simply will not and break up with whoever I was dating. I don't love that way.

As an fyi, I have no frakking clue what your ex's intentions were, but for me, as someone in a successful open marriage, it is generally not about "not being enough". My husband loves me with everything he has, he also loves his girlfriend with everything he has. I love my husband with everything I have, plus my other partners.

"enough" is not the point. For me its an "and" situation (I love you, and you, and you, and you too!) not an "or" situation (I love you, or you).

At the end of the day, I am sorry for your breakup. There will always be other people, and you will run into them when you least expect it. In the mean time, have some fun, find a new hobby, read a new book, in my experience love finds you when you aren't activity looking.

in a working open relationship its not that you arent enough for someone. there is a difference between being an a** and just wanting an open relationship. they are perfect for some people and horrible for others. also it doesnt mean they were being immature at all, they just wanted something different than you did and it seems to have caused things to not work out which is a shame, but it sounds like if thats an issue that was that important to both of you then its best you ended the relationship

im sorry it didnt work out, but better you figure that sort of stuff out sooner rather than later. also keep in mind that every failed relationship is really a learning success smile
