i did something my ex would hate

after getting divorced last month, i started dating again and decided to go full open relationship. met this hot guy at a bar who seemed into me too, we exchanged numbers and set up a meet-up the next day. couldn't stop thinking about him all night. when he messaged asking if i was free for an early morning coffee date, i said yes before even considering the ramifications. we had some amazing coffee and talked for hours but by noon, my inhibitions were gone and we decided to head back to his place to get more intimate. it was intense, our chemistry just clicked right away. i got a bit experimental too with what he liked, exploring new things together that pushed us both out of our comfort zones. the next day when i saw the texts my ex had left me calling me names and telling me how much she hated this new guy, it only made me feel more defiant. we were done for real now, no going back to monogamy or making things work again. living life on my terms feels so good, i'd do it all over again.
