Don't be weak, go and be "open" with other chicks and give her a little cold shoulder. I bet she'll ask to be exclusive...but even then, I'd leave her alone if you're wise.

I would move on. Sounds like you two had a great date planned! What kind of person would do something like that? A selfish one so unless you like lap dog status,drop her
Your plan sounded great you won't have a problem finding a new girl.

People who can't handle open relationships shouldn't agree to open relationships.

You were wrong to read her text messages. You were snooping.

Was she wrong to try and get together with someone else while you two had plans?

Yep. But, yanno what? Open relationship.

This sounds like she is the one that wants it open and you're the one who hopes she will settle on you.

Now you know that any time she gets a better offer, you're out, regardless if she has agreed on an evening with you - being just lip service. You just have to decide if you're OK with that. Do you have WELCOME printed across your forehead?

Does she know that you consider her your girlfriend? This is a mutual relationship?
If yes, than she is wrong period. Move on, she doesn't respect you, and she is treating you like plan "b" not cool at all.

"Am I wrong for reading a text on gf phone and being upset??"

I don't know if you were wrong or not but one thing IS clear: she was setting you up for a dump. In fact, in her heart, you've already been dumped.

hm... this sounds like more of a FWB situation than an "open relationship". If there's a difference. Sounds like the gf is using the OP as a FWB, while the OP thinks it's something more...

Yes, you were wrong, and are wrong for being upset. But you should also be happy to discover the shallowness of a person you might've gotten much closer to -- or at least thought so.

Perhaps it is time to widen your circle of friends.

Let's get something straight Papi, you didn't look at the text by mistake. You wanted to be in your girls business and as a result got your feelings hurt. You are dead wrong for reading her phone but atleast you know this girl isn't as serious with you as you think. She has a back-up just in case you fail. Don't worry about it though, most girls do.

While you definitely shouldn't snoop and read your partners email, text messages, etc... If you're in an open relationship or poly situation, you DEFINITELY shouldn't read their emails or texts. That's just asking for a world of hurt.
