Yeah thats true, but i also dont want to ruin his relationship, but i still value honesty anyway. I might, but i might also just leave it? I wasnt trying to hurt my own feelings
In most cases open relationships just don't work, I think it's quite rare in cases like yours where it wasn't on the table from the inception of the relationship.
It's also problematic that he requested to open the relationship to sleep with a specific person, not because it's something you both felt you were compatible with.
But regardless of how this happened, you need to find a way forward together:
he finds a new partner outside the marriage, you continue the open marriage you stop sleeping with the other guy and close the marriage you split ways and you can do whatever you want
I appreciate the advice this is my first real relationship and I thought I was doing everything right. Being calm, understanding, giving gifts, being supportive, planning dates, etc. I just don’t know how I’m going to feel the same about someone else again.
If you are an “influencer” it's your job to flirt with people.

Whatever you do, you need to both be on board.
