The boy was dating someone that he really wasn’t into. He was in what he thought was an open relationship while the girl he was dating thought otherwise. Three years passed and the relationship ended—for the forty-second time. Things seemed on the up-and-up. Then the ex, who the boy wasn’t totally in love with, found out about how open their relationship had been. That changed many things. Most importantly, it changed the boys understanding of love and what value he put on open relationships.

Okay, so this boy didn’t really understand how an open relationship needed to work. They didn’t know to spell ‘mutually’ in the locker room in grade school, where he learned about such important things, let alone know that a mutually open relationship was the only way for a relationship of this type to work. Lesson learned: never accept relationship advice from pre-pubescent boys. Eventually the boy did find open relationships and learned that although nice, they certainly didn’t deserve the adoration that was heaped on them over the years. They all missed that feeling of love that makes the whole relationship experience outstanding, from top to bottom. At most, an open relationship is nothing but a stepping stone to finding true love.
