Hello everyone, I said that I'd post an update, in large part due to the massive response I got yesterday. In many ways, I was only posting to repeat the situation in my head, but I found many great pieces of advice in there and support as well. Thanks to everyone who posted.
I spent last night at my mates, who was absolutely sound about the situation. He basically gave advice that was tantamount to what was given in the comments, to call off the relationship. We had a few drinks, a bit of banter, and this morning I went back to the flat and confronted her. She was there (neither I nor her work on Saturdays), and I set out my stake in as straight-forward a manner I could.
Basically, I said that I didn't want to continue with the relationship, and that its better if we call the whole thing off. The wedding details are merely financial, and not too bad to call back, but at this rate we couldn't continue to be together as we clearly desired different things. She basically expressed what she felt then; that we still had a chance, that it could work, to give "sexual freedom a chance". Look, I'm no crazy prude, but this shit just isn't up my alley at all. I basically said that over the weekend I'd be over to collect my things (its rented flat in a town, no big obligation there), and that she can keep the place if she wants (I'll stay with my friend for a while, get myself sorted after) . Towards the end we had a full blown shouting argument, but I stood my ground and didn't change my course. Not this time boys and girls.
I left, and there is nothing much more to say really. As I type me and my mate are having a few cans, and my phone has been exploding since 5 o'clock with her friends, her sister calling me a prick and a sexist (for some reason). I'll be grand, being totally frank I feel a bet liberated (if thats not too cheesy). The coming days I'll get everything sorted, the moving and that, but as my father used to say, "theres always fucking worse".

Open relationships is just another word for a woman's goal in any marriage. Whore herself around while Billy Beta pays for everything.

Good for him.
Opened relationship is always one-sided. Beta continue to provide resources, while she continue to fuck Tyrones and Chads.
It's like Alpha Fuck/Beta Buck Ver. 2.0.

She seems to be spreading lies about him to her family and friends already. This dude could get seriously fucked if she decides to go full cunt and cry "rape" or "abuse"

"It can still work if you let me do whatever I want, despite you firmly telling me that won't work."
This guy found a real piece of work, Jesus Christ.

Nothing like a dose of reality with guys getting together to cut through the BS. This is the true power of MGTOW - breaking the isolation of men. An informal fraternity. These two may not call themselves MGTOW, but hey, a red pill was dropped and a man left the plantation. I call that a positive outcome. Labels are irrelevant.
If this guy ever reads this: You stood your ground like a man. Enjoy your freedom.

And they shame him for abandoning a hoe, she's stupid to even mention it before the wedding. "we still had a chance" aka "you can go back to the plantation and work your ass off while I find myself some fuck boys" lol.

Her fucking friends and sisters call him sexist men for not wanting to be with a whore. Women are unfucking believable.
The best part about the whole thing is she is nearing the wall. She will struggle to find another guy that she will stick with long enough to get married to. The next guy she gets with not only has to be a cuck that’s willing to let her be a whore, but the relationship with him will have to last forever. He would have to be in it for the long haul. Imagine she dates another guy for 4 years and they breakup, she will be running out of time fast

Women are fucked man... even if she seems like a unicorn this sort of shit will come out of nowhere. Recently happened to my mate, his 5 year LTR asked for a hall pass to fuck some guy. He wouldn’t have a bar if it. Ended instantly

Dude made a huge mistake going back to the flat and arguing with this woman. He should take a female family member with him any time he has to physically interact with his ex.
[–]jrpark051 point2 points3 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't just put a halt, END THE THING at the first MENTION of it. No, no a thousand times no!
How disrespectful, and just imagine if the man asked for this.

I know it’s an opinion not shared by many on this sub, but I have no idea how someone could commit to having sexual with one person for the rest of their lives.

Having sex with more than one person for the rest of your life and having a companion or a family aren’t mutually exclusive; however, I understand the drive for an exclusive partner from a cold rational standpoint, but emotionally, the concept is completely foreign to me. I have yet to meet a woman that I have even come close to wanting a life long commitment/exclusive relationship with. Let alone kids.

Two things. First, isn’t this mgtow? My understanding is that this a community of men who forgo companionship with women on some level and may or may not be celibate, depending on the man. Second, screwing around and developing an intimate relationship with a woman isn’t mutually exclusive. I will concede that it is more difficult and perhaps more rare than the standard relationship but isn’t impossible. Lastly, speaking for myself. Not since grade school have I had a drive to develop said intimate relationship and even then it’s questionable. I may feel an initial infatuation if anything but my entire adult life I’ve consistently arrive at a feeling of boredom with the various women I’ve seen.
