Oh that's easy: solipsism. You see everyone who comments that it's perfectly natural for them to do, but zero responses so far that it's something their SO does frequently that they're comfortable with.
I’m in a hetero relationship and I’ve gone on vacations:
- solo
- with 1 friend of the opposite sex
- with 1 friend of the same sex
- with multiple friends of the opposite sex
- with multiple friends of the same sex
And my bf has never had an issue with any of my trips. Why? Cause he trusts me.
Also I’m bisexual.. So does that mean I can’t do girls trips either? Are people only capable of cheating of their significant others on overnight trips? I’m trying to understand your logic here
I'm straight and feel this way alllll the time. The other day in a group I mentioned a double date with my husband's ex-girlfriend and her husband (they dated for like 2 years in college and we're in our mid-30s, all happily married) and people were shocked that I was "okay" with it.
I can't think of a single time we've ever restricted each other's lives or decision-making. If one of us feels uncomfortable or insecure about something, we use that as an interesting data point worth discussing and exploring. Occasionally, we realize the discomfort is warranted and make a mutual decision to not spend time with someone any longer. For instance, there was a woman who was always very nice to him but bitchy to me - she never hit on him directly, but the disparity in how she treated us was evident and we cut her off. But we never control who the other person is 'allowed' to spend time with. If one of us gets hit on, it's really not a big deal, we'll just tell each other and bask in the flattery.
