We\u2019ve faced challenges before, but this one feels different. My boyfriend has proposed opening our relationship, and I\u2019m torn. He says it won\u2019t change anything between us, but I can\u2019t shake the feeling that it will. This isn\u2019t what I envisioned for our future, and now I\u2019m faced with the possibility that we want different things. How do I redefine what commitment looks like, and am I willing to compromise my beliefs for the sake of keeping us together?<\/p>\n<p>Commitment, to me, has always meant exclusivity and shared loyalty. So how do I adjust my understanding of that when my partner wants something I can\u2019t imagine? Am I holding on too tightly to traditional ideas of love and partnership? Or is this just a way for him to avoid dealing with deeper issues in our relationship? The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this is a test of how far we\u2019re willing to bend for each other\u2014and I\u2019m not sure I can bend that much without breaking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1727646214512\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 26px; left: 10px; width: 740px; height: 925px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"9\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past five years, I believed in the strength of our commitment.
