Planning a wedding isn’t always easy, but it’s usually one of the most exciting times in a couple’s life. For this Redditor, though, that excitement took a hit when his fiancée dropped a bombshell on him ahead of their big day.
After four years together, she asked to open their relationship—something he had no interest in. The request left him stunned and hurt, and with his head spinning over what it meant for their future, he took to the internet to vent. Read the full story below.

She's sounds like a low intelligence, low character s k a n k. I'd get tested for STDs as she's very likely already been with other guys while she was with OP. IMO having s*x with people on that level would be like eating off a public restroom floor.
When one person wants an open relationship, and the other doesn't, the relationship is basically over. One is all in on monogamy, and the other is quite possibly already looking at other people, which means the first person will never truly trust them again.
A 31 year old dating a 24 year old is a bit creepy to start off with. A 24 year old is still figuring out life and at 31, you're pretty much into your adult phase. So this was never gonna work out. She's already showing that she's not ready for a commitment by having an emotional affair. It's best you find someone closer aligned to your age and your stage in life to make a commitment with.
That sort of age “difference” is nothing compared to most of the things we read here. Still, it’d explain her wanting to “experiment,” as maybe she’d not ridden a lotta d***s yet and wants to try some out. I am so, SO glad I read this post, as I’m still laughing about the sister being an “utter toilet”! That is the most savage, evil, amazing, and wonderful insult I’ve ever heard, and I can’t WAIT to call the creep who’s been bothering me that! I’m imagining his pud shrinking down to BBs! 🤣🤣🤣
