How to open up the relationship
Post Body

I (23F, bi) and my boyfriend (23M, straight) have been together for almost four years. I had suggested an open relationship in the beginning and he wasn't interested but now he started bringing up the topic. He had some fun (non-romantic, non-sexual) experiences with other young people while travelling and that is what made him question the fact that he has only slept with me and one other person. At first I felt insecure - had I become less interesting for him and so on. But now I am starting to think about it more and more and I think that it might actually be fun. The idea is - open relationship without romance outside of our primary relationship. However, he is interested in one-night stands, he said that is what makes open relationships fun. On the other hand, I am interested in long-term friends with benefits type arrangements. Also, we are thinking about the relationship being open only when we don't see each other for a few days, because it would be rather sad if one of us came home, needed attention or quality time and the other was out having sex. (Yes, we are needy) 1. How do we make it work? 2. I am scared he will catch feelings for other people. It is always a possibility but how do I prepare? 3. Is there anything else we should know?
