Scenario

When you agree to an open relationship out of fear rather than desire

My partner wants to open our relationship and says it will make us stronger but I agreed only because I am terrified of losing them and now I feel sick about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Consent given from terror is not consent but a form of self-abandonment.
