Ava, a college student, proposed an open relationship to her boyfriend while studying abroad, hoping to avoid a breakup. The arrangement allowed fleeting encounters but not long-term relationships. However, it backfired when Ava discovered her boyfriend had been unfaithful in ways they hadn’t agreed upon. This led to feelings of betrayal and regret on Ava's part, as she grappled with the emotional fallout of her decision. In hindsight, she reflected that she would have preferred a traditional cheating scenario over the confusion and hurt caused by their open relationship.
I wish that instead, he had just cheated because I think he would have experienced more guilt about what he was doing.
It was her idea to open it at all in an effort to keep him happy, so how could she expect to complain?
