<human>: I really hope I can get some advice from some more open minded people in this sub. I've been with my girlfriend for a couple of months now. We have a long distance relationship (she lives on the other side of the US). I really love her and I feel like we both need eachother, but it feels like we've grown up with these complete different views of how relationships (should) work!

As you can tell by the title we're both girls. I consider myself a very open-minded person sexualy but I've had to work hard to gain self-acceptance. I spent a lot of time trying to understand my feelings and that meant exploring my sexualty with the help of others, It became a part of who I am. I've come to accept the concepts of polyarmorus relationships. I feel like a traditional monogamous relationship is not best suited for who I am as a person now, but she doesn't.

She won't budge on the issue and its getting to the point where I question our relationship. I can't express how much I love her and why I feel we both really need eachother. She refuses to see what I desire as anything short of cheating, and I know some people here might feel the same way. What I feel for her is more than a mere sexual attraction, and it really hurts that she doesn't trust me enough to not threaten what we have on a fling. 

I tried posting my problem in another sub and no one replied... I really could use some help with this. I want to convince her that I really do love her and open her up to the idea. I feel like the only way we can sustain our relationship in the long term is if we're willing to make a compromise on this issue.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I want an open relationship, my girlfriend doesn't. This hurts our relationship long term. How can I convince her to compromise?
