I’ve been with my boyfriend since 2024. Our relationship has to be on the down low / an open secret because dating isn’t permissible among his people. His family says they really like me, but they’d never accept me as his wife since I’m not Arab, maybe as a second wife, but the first wife has to be someone they approve of. I don’t want to be a second wife. I’m with him despite all of this because he treats me great, fucks me good, and gets me (he’s very open-minded and chill, and I feel fully comfortable with him). But I know he won’t go against his family for me because of $$$.

    Lmao, longer than my longest relationship ever.

    I’ve felt more intense connection in more open relationships with massive breaks and stuff than “being together” ones.
    I’ve made out with random people on the street, had short flings, one-sided relationships, etc. all these experiences helped in a crazy number of ways. I definitely have a very clear idea of what works for me and what doesn’t now, which I didn’t have back then.

    It actually disgusts me to think of someone having a side-piece. I think it’s dehumanizing.

    But I’m not here to tell you what to do :)

    Go crazy!
    Be safe.
    But go crazy!
