<human>: I have been with my latest boyfriend for a little shy of a year now and despite our short duration together, I feel that he is the love of my life. I met him in college and on our first date the two of us hit it off immediately. The problem is that he has since graduated and moved a fairly great distance from me. I don't mind long distance relationships and I feel that I am willing and open to the idea but he wants a little more than that. My boyfriend says he loves me and that he can see himself married to me one day but as of now he wants to have an open relationship. He says that he is capable of loving many women equally and though he will be seeing and most likely having sex with other women, he would still love me as much as he ever has. I can understand his desire to be with other women and I respect his feelings and wishes but I just don't know where my stance should be on this. If we did decide to have an open relationship, I wouldn't see anyone else on the side though he would. I feel that having a one on one relationship is what I truly want because I like to focus on one person at a time, devoting all my love and attention to that one special someone. 

I told him that we could break it off if he wanted to fool around with other women and I would play the role of a supportive, close friend who would always love him. His response to me was that he wanted to be with me because loves me and losing me would be devastating. Should I allow him to start seeing girls where he is and still be his girlfriend? I am concerned that his ties to me would hurt any other relationships that he will start and I don't wish to be caught in the middle of that. I know that the ultimate decision is mine, I just need some second opinions on the matter. Am I naïve? What should I do?
