• 0:08
  I need advice. I've been seeing someone for six months. For my understanding,
• 0:12
  we were exclusive with each other, only hooking up with one another.
• 0:15
  Things have been getting pretty serious. I feel like I'm in love with him,
• 0:18
  he's in love with me. But now that it's summer, we're both
• 0:21
  in our young twenties. She said. He has asked if we can have
• 0:23
  an open relationship and have a little fun for the summer. I like him
• 0:27
  so much, and he says that he wants to be with me long term.
• 0:31
  So I don't want to let go of this relationship. So what should
• 0:33
  I do in this situation? I really love him, I believe he really

  loves me. We're both young, we're not married, so should we explore

• 1:19
  and it works well for them. I'm not stable enough as a human to
• 1:23
  be able to share it with other people. Just to be honest, you
• 1:26
  can't. And it's a lot to keep track of. It's a lot she's
