My boyfriend and I have been going out for more than a month now we're both 16... We haven't had the best relationship at least in my eyes... but then again it is our "first" relationship with the same sex... Because once school starts for me it'll be hard for us to see each other, should I ask him if he would like to be in an open relationship, and if he says yes should I dump him? My friends tell me I should since no one is usually comfortable with their partner being with someone other than them UNLESS they themselves have already been considering parting ways and/or have found someone they would be interested in "fooling around" with. Some advice please, thanks

If having multiple partners is something that appeals to you, then let your boyfriend know that although you really dig him, you realize that at your age you can't be exclusive. I think you have a realistic attitude. Just make sure to practice safe sex, as multiple partners means multiple risks. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

I wouldn't suggest having an open relationship with him, because that wouldn't be good. People could start rumors and you could be known as an 'easy' girl because of something like this. You know how some people are. And the fooling around bit isn't a good idea, either. That is how girls get names and I wouldn't want you to be in that category.
I suggest just ending it. You never know you could find someone new while at school that would be great for you. Just keep your eyes open and never settle for one guy. You have to play the field before you get tied down. ♥ [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
