So I'm a tad confused about why my girlfriend recently suggested that we see other people for 3 weeks. It's such an odd thing to do. She suggested doing so so that I could explore and see if she was right for me and if I still wanted her. I went OK fine maybe you're right but obviously this means that I would have to put you in a different place in my mind. I said that I thought that it would change the relationship. I then (maybe slightly looking for a reaction) went on to ask her if she would be totally fine if I went out, met a girl and took her back to my bedroom and fucked her. Would she see me in the same light. She then broke down and said that she didn't want to go ahead and that could we just forget all about it.

Did she say this to actually let me see if I want her? As in was she willing to let me go slightly and let me play the field to see if I really like her? As in reassurance?

I think what happened was that in her logical brain she wants distance/re-assurance from me. But then in her emotional brain she couldn't handle not being with me. So she made a logical decision and then her emotions took hold.

Has anyone been here before or have any advice?

Yea wow i think its just a play to see if you really just want to be with her. Sit her down and stare her directly in the eyes and tell her that you don't need to see other people i want to be with you. That is if thats what you truly want.

No girl is every going to just let you play the field to figure out if you really want to be with her.(that I've met) If she says that then there is probably a guy she has in mind..

however i think she just wants the reassurance that you still want her because when you asked about fucking someone else the jealousy came in and she's like "no lets just forget about it."

Plan out a special day for you too like go all out and show her that you really care.
