I'm just a sexy boy... DMSI 3.1

It's better to hurt her a little today than to hurt her a lot tomorrow.

If you've got an itch that you haven't scratched, you need to scratch it first. Otherwise, at some point down the road, no matter how much you love your girlfriend, you're going to resent not having the experiences you've wanted.

It's better that you take the break and go do what you want. At least that way you'll know for sure.

My unsought two-cents for you...

Thanks for the advice Duke!

My concern is if we take this break, I sleep with a few girls, and then we get back together, won't our relationship forever be tainted and won't she always resent that it happened?

I'm even considering the better option would be to take our conversation as implied consent for sleeping with other women, and to do it and not tell her. In that way I get the experiences, and if she never finds out then her feelings don't get hurt.

But then I don't think I could look at her the same way with a lie like that hanging over me. So it's probably better to just leave it.
