Exploring My Freedom Post Breakup

I just ended a long-term relationship and found myself in an open relationship with my new partner, Alex. We both decided this would be the best way to explore our newfound freedom without compromising our commitment to each other. Last night was eye-opening. We had a date planned, but instead of going out together, we suggested separate meetups. I went out with Jordan, who's been on my radar for a while. It felt liberating and exciting, unlike anything in the past. But then Alex decided to text me during our respective dates saying they wanted to see another person too. My heart raced thinking about what this meant for both of us, an evening filled with unexpected connections, yet also a sense of vulnerability that neither of us has fully explored before. It got me wondering if there's something inherently wrong or right with how we're handling our open dynamic. Do you think it’s normal to feel like you’re playing catch-up in terms of personal freedom and self-discovery? Or should I be more concerned about the emotional whirlwind this kind of setup can bring?
