Threesomes + long term relationship = problematic. The fact that you want to have sex with another girl is already a sign that you're not totally committed to your partner, and she'll take note of that. Anyway, threesomes and relationships are just bad. Eventually feelings wind up getting involved, and someone gets hurt. Then there are trust and jealousy issues, as well as major intimacy boundaries that are being broken. If it was something she was into, or something you really wanted, it seems like one of you should have mentioned it early on, not a year and a half after the fact.
Also, put yourself in her shoes. If she asked you to have a threesome with another man, would you be okay with it? I'm sure you're going to spout off about how it would be 'gay', or how it's different because there would be another penis involved, but the principles are exactly the same.

I think there's something to be said for suddenly turning round to your partner and saying 'How about threesomes then?'
It's subverting the premises a commited relationship is built on. If you want an open relationship then anything less than letting your partner know about it before or as soon as you get into a relationship is like changing the rules of a game halfway through.
AKA: Cheating.

Well I'm currently in an open relationship and the subject of the openess of said relationship was brought up by my boyfriend and I whilst we were both coming together.
There's very little you can do to not make a request for a threesome sound like 'I'm growing disinterested in you' and girls take that very very badly.

WoF always manages to find a nicer way of saying what I was trying to say. Thanks/God Damn you for that.

But just because you don't understand something doesn't make it true. It's true that for you, such a dynamic would never work, and people should respect that. But in return you should also be open to the fact that other people have a completely different mindset.
So that means that for YOU threesomes wouldn't work. But for others it adds great pleasure and excitement to their life. Maybe it is boredom, but different people have different likes and dislike. And some people like experimenting sexually. Meaning, if they dont get the sexual exploration they so desire, they might actually get bored.
Nothing wrong with monogamous, or poly people in my opinion. none at all.
And, telling you this is probably going to lower your opinion of me and my relationship. But I was the one who initially encouraged Chris to experiment with other people if he desired. Personally I find it quite hot, and despite everything, I know we have a deep bond that is impenetrable. I know this from the bottom of my heart.
So there you have an example of how people can be totally different, and still function.
I just ask that you be open minded and realize that people get happiness and pleasure from different things. And what might not work for one person, might be gold for the other.

Haha, 'lower my opinion' of your relationship? I don't care about your relationship. I wasn't trying to personally attack what you and Chris may or may not do, but as per usual, you've found a way to take what I've said personally. Let me make something clear:
I really don't give a fuck what any of you do with your lives. As long as you're not abusing children or animals, have fun. Okay?
Anyway, something you said seemed pretty contradictory : "
Maybe it is boredom, but different people have different likes and dislike. And some people like experimenting sexually. Meaning, if they dont get the sexual exploration they so desire, they might actually get bored. "
Okay, wait. I'm all for sexual exploration and figuring out what defines you as a sexual being, blah blah. But to bring another person, a person you're
committed to, into that exploration, isn't always fair. Is it fun? Sure. But what happens when one person likes something, or someone, more than the other partner? Someones feelings get hurt, and someone will get left in the dust. Exploration and definition should be done casually and early on, not in the midst of a relationship where another persons feelings are potentially at stake. And boredom? Really? If boredom is the deciding factor for a couple having a threesome, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. If you're so fucking bored with the person you're with that you need to bring another body into the mix, why are you wasting each others time? Again, it seems selfish.
So you can say that I'm being condemning. I don't care what you want to call it. I don't think threesomes are wrong, and I applaud and encourage people to explore their sexuality. However, I wish they would all do so in a manner that poses no risk to anyone else. Ideally, this would be outside of a relationship.
But whatever, agree to disagree.
