Madonna/ whore syndrome
| Thu, 06-05-2008 - 9:16am |
I have been dating a man for about six months now. The relationship is incredible and we get along great and have a wonderful sex life. However, he has consistently wanted our relationship to remain an open one instead of a monogamas one. He has stated that he has not always been faithful and does not want to dissapoint or hurt another woman so he feels that if we remain open to be with other people it avoids this dissapointment. As we become closer and it is evident that we love eachother I was confused by his need to look outside the relationship for satisfaction. This past week a conversation occured that shed quite a bit of light on the situation. He has made statements that cetain acts of sex were reserved for tramps or bad girls and that I was the one he loved and wanted to be around his children putting me in a different catagory. My realization was that although at this time our sex life with eachother is great that if he has this type of thinking I will never be able to satisfy all his needs. Is there any way to make him realize that I can satisfy him in all aspects of life and to help him overcome this madonna/whore syndrome?

I don't believe you can him change this part of him.
Welcome to the board ninc2008,
I agree with what rosewater said. However, if you really want to make this work than sit down with him and tell him that you want to be able to satifsy all his needs both inside and outside of the bedroom. He will let you know if that is possible or not. If not, and you are not okay with that than you need to rethink the relationship.
