TLDR: 33F is considering having open relationship with 33M boyfriend of over a year due to boyfriend having issue with wanting diversity.
I have a friend (30F) that recently confided to me that her boyfriend (33M) asked her how she felt about an open relationship. They’ve been together for a little over a year. Before her he was a one-night stand type, met my friend and became absolutely head over heels with her. However, he explained to her that he still has the urge to hook up with other girls. He explained that it isn’t feelings based at all, just that he likes/needs the diversity when it comes to sex. He promised to be completely honest and open about it and has never given her a reason to doubt his trust before. He also promised that nothing between them would change because the hook ups are completely just sex based, nothing else.
My friend is actually not opposed to the situation, just doesn’t know enough about open relationships to feel truly comfortable with saying yes. She is not the jealous type at all. Their sex life is extremely healthy also. Any advice/tips/etc is welcome!!

isn’t like is also a feeling? even hookups have feelings involve. he is talking crap wanting her agreement for open relationship so its not cheating. so what now? if she said no he is gonna cheat? that seems how it was posted – wtf!
its a NO & a BIG RED FLAG. too many similar cases posted here in Reddit & broke the relationship when the spouse fell in love with the other person & left.
btw why are you posting instead of your friend? are you planning to hookup with her bf when she say yes to the open marriage?
