Exploring other options while in a committed relationship

[I'm Blackman]

Yes

 

[International Playa]

That’s what women do lol

I been a victim of this,

Dating in 2019 is cut throat, you have to keep options

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Women do this alot.

But not a smart thing to do. It just brings unnecessary headaches u dont want get out of ur bad situation first than find someone new.

What is your opinion on exploring other options while in a committed relationship (not married of course)

I am NOT talking about cheating. What I mean is if you know you have a connection with some new person should you continue to engage with that person or cut them off just because you're in a relationship

Sometimes I meet women I know I vibe with and intentionally avoid them because of it. Would it be betraying your partner if you did the opposite

The woman I’m talking to now gave me the courage to break up with my now ex. We were having issues prior but sometimes “the one” comes in not the most diplomatic times.

I always do this

My first girlfriend cheating on me made me this wayb

People say they're in a committed relationship but don't even know what being committed means :mjobserve:

 

[SATAN]

Literally all women do this

By "committed", perhaps you mean "monogamous". You can be monogamous and not committed.

It's like a job. You don't put in your 2 weeks' notice without having another job lined up, do you?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

sounds like it's not a committed relationship if you're open to still looking for others. either be in a relationship or don't (or mutually agree to an open relationship), not sure why that's hard

I think I wrote the OP wrong than what I want to ask. I appreciate the reply.

If your partner wants you to not do something, then you should stop doing it for the sake of the relationship. The choice and consequences are clear to me

I'm asking from the solely personal perspective: Should you engage with people you have a connection with or not

The question should be are we able to love two people ? How many people have caught a vibe while in a relationship thoe? I got that shyt going on with a girl who has man but want to kick with me . It dosent mean she don't love he dude but he a young nikka ...and I'm lil older so that just what it is.

It's alot going on out her thoe ...

Looks like you're not really committed to your current relationship if you're already thinking about searching elsewhere.

 

[FLATOP]

I think I'm at the stage of my life where I'm questioning the very concept of relationships

The fact that you have to commit for the rest of your life and always start from ground zero at the end of a relationship, or else the relationship didnt matter at all.

People say they're in a committed relationship but don't even know what being committed means :mjobserve:

Or maybe what committed means will transcend into something else as times goes on.

I'm not talking about the future genius.

How I see it...

If you are even contemplating exploring other options while in a "committed" relationship, then there is something missing with the current relationship..

So, what is missing or lacking in the current relationship that is sparking interest in exploring other options?

Is there anything you or your current significant other could do to rekindle the spark that got y'all together in the first place?

If you were to explore other options, leave the current significant other and get with someone else, do you think it would pan out? What if the grass isn't greener on the other side and you find yourself in the same situation as the former relationship? Then what?

It comes down to this..

Life is about taking chances. I will not say that someone has to stay with their current situation, if said person isn't happy, but I am not sure if hopping from relationship to relationship is the solution..

If anything, I would say that if you genuinely care about your current situation, but something is missing, then perhaps it may be best of you exhaust all options with that person before exploring other options, but if you do decide to explore other options, then give your current significant other the courtesy of letting him/her go so they can do the same and let the chips fall as they may...

Just keep in mind that should you let your current significant other go, that you may not get that person back, should things not work out in your favor with the new person(s)...
