tl;dr My girlfriend had sex with someone else and I'm upset/jealous and want advice to get over this jealousy and have a healthy open relationship.
Basically my on/off girlfriend of 4 years recently suggested we start an open relationship since I'm going off to uni and she is staying at home for a gap year and we don't want to put pressure on our own relationship by trying long distance (some of our friends who tried an LDR broke up very quickly and we don't want that to happen).
I agreed to the open relationship because we'd always talked about making it open once we went to uni, but she's already had sex with someone else and it's made me really upset. I knew it was going to happen and she was totally honest with me but I feel jealous and insecure and a bit depressed (although there are other unrelated issues going on in my life rn which are also stressing me). I don't WANT to feel this jealous and I want to be happy for her, but I have no idea how to get rid of these unhealthy emotions and have a healthy open relationship.
Advice would be appreciated, especially from others who are in/have been in open relationships.
Put the internet to work for you.
