<human>: To preface this, I have been with my SO for five years. I love her. We have a great relationship in almost every aspect, and the aspects that are challenging we work on together. We're not afraid to talk about what we're feeling; we try our best to be 100% honest with another.

Recently, I have mentioned that, taken different life circumstances, I wouldn't have minded exploring other individuals and other romances. It was mostly hypothetical, but I felt like it was something that I wouldn't mind exploring and experiencing because of how, considerably, young we are. At that moment, she mentioned that she was firmly committed to our relationship and wouldn't regret anything.

However, my SO comes from a vastly different relationship patterns and romantic lifestyle than I had before our relationship. I told her compared to one another, I never awarded myself the opportunity to explore my sexuality and romance with others before we had met. In no way do I blame her or regret our relationship - but she seems to take it that way.

During the conversation, this has seemingly brought some trust issues with me that she has never garnered before and has made me feel uncomfortable now that it has come to light (no reason to see how this come up before this conversation - never been any red flags before). 

I told her that this is something I have no intention on following-through with, rather they are just feelings that I am having - observing myself and whatnot. If I did, it would ruin my relationship with her - which is something I don't want. So advice that is "just leave" does not really jive with the complexities of human emotions and relationships.

Not sure how much farther to explain this situation. I can clarify in comments upon further questioning.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I have a fantastic relationship with a wonderful woman but I am harboring feelings of wanting to experience and explore my sexuality/romantic life.
