The idea of being in a relationship while also 'acting on instinct' with others sounds great, but it doesn't work for everyone. I've tried it and it didn't work for me. Jealousy and feeling of betrayal got in the way, and guilt when I was with others. However, I also know an old married gay couple who have been together for decades and right from the start they established that they would be able to fool around outside of the relationship and they seem happy.

Based on your posts it seems like it's just not going to work, at least not with this guy.
