When someone tells you “I think we should see other people,” it can be a difficult and uncomfortable statement to hear. It’s important to take a moment to process your feelings and respond in a way that feels authentic to you.

Here are some examples of how you might respond:

I understand how you feel, can we talk more about this?

I’m sorry to hear that, is there anything I can do to change your mind?

Can you tell me more about why you feel this way?

I appreciate your honesty, I’ll need some time to process this.

I’m sad to hear that, but I respect your decision.

It’s important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to respond to such a statement, but it’s important to be honest with yourself and the other person about your feelings.

When responding, it’s also important to consider the context of your relationship. It’s important to be respectful and understanding of the other person’s feelings, but also to be honest about your own feelings. If you’re not ready for an open relationship, it’s important to communicate that in a kind and respectful way.

It’s also important to remember that breaking up or seeing other people doesn’t have to be the end of the relationship. It’s important to have an open and honest conversation about what the other person means by “seeing other people” and if there is any possibility of the relationship continuing in a different way.

It’s also important to remember that it’s okay to take some time for yourself after a break-up or an unexpected change in the relationship status. It’s important to be gentle and kind to yourself and to focus on your own well-being and healing.

In any case, it’s a good idea to have a conversation about what the statement means for the future of your relationship and how you both can move forward.
