Open relationships can be tricky, especially if one of the partners doesn't really want it. As the prophetic Twitter user @tyler02020202 once said,

"when you see two people in an open relationship it's like which one of you came up with the idea and which one of you cries yourself to sleep every night"

Luckily, all is not lost for the person who cries themselves to sleep every night! When they accept the open relationship and start dating, they might actually begin to have a good time. They may find that even after the years they've spent with one person, they've still got it. Like clockwork, the person who asked for an open relationship doesn't always get all the hot babes they desire. They (usually he, if we're being honest) can get increasingly jealous when they realize their partner (usually their wife) is pulling way more than they ever could. This is the exact setup of one Redditor quagmire.
