i think it all depends on if you want to be patient. she's going to take her space, no matter what it seems... it just depends on how much you agree to go along with this.

frankly, her rules about fidelity don't make a lot of sense...i don't suggest excessive discussion of this, lest it seem like this is the sticking point for you. she has all but declared that part of her time apart from you will include being "with" someone else. What with means may be up for debate....but it seems clear that she wants some kind of connection with someone on her trip.

two suggestions for this. the less you think about sex as a commodity, or limited good the better. her having sex with someone else (holding hands, whatever) does not mean that there is less sex (holding hands, whatever) for you. her body doesn't get dilluted in value. her having intimacy with someone else may mean less intimacy with you. make sense?

she needs to be thinking this way too. if she would hate the girl you got with during this time of being in "open" relationship, then she doesn't have it figured out.
