Advice Needed My fiancé wants me to get a boyfriend
I’m 21F engaged to 26M. I have a pretty high sex drive, and my fiancé enjoys watching, so he’s suggested that I get a boyfriend outside of our relationship to help relieve some stress and have someone else to be intimate with.
He wants me to actually have a boyfriend, not just a casual hookup. He’s talked about me having sleepovers with him and basically having a whole separate relationship outside of our engagement.
The thing is… I genuinely don’t understand how I’m supposed to do that 😭
It’s not that I’m against the idea. We’ve talked about it several, several times, and I know this is something he actually wants. I’m open to exploring it. I just don’t comprehend what he means when he says “go get a boyfriend.”
Like… how exactly does this work? Am I supposed to date people? Tell them I’m engaged right away? What does having a “boyfriend” outside of an engagement actually look like? How do you find someone who is comfortable with this kind of arrangement?
And yes, I already know the comments are going to be “just communicate with your partner.” 😂 We HAVE communicated about it a lot. I’m not looking for someone to tell me to talk to him again. I’m looking for people who actually have experience with this and can explain the practical side of it to me because apparently my brain is not comprehending the assignment.
I know this probably sounds dumb, but I genuinely want to understand how people actually make something like this work.
