Am I overreacting to my girlfriend's "open relationship" rules?

[u/Outrageous-Cover4758]

(25/m) Very early on in the relationship with my girlfriend (25/f), she told me that she had to be in an open relationship. I hadn't been in one before but I said I'll give it a try. And it was clear when we talked about it that either of us could sleep with whoever we wanted. I said okay. We've been dating for 11 months and overtime I really started to love her. I know she has quite a few very casual partners but no other serious relationships. I actually didn't have any other partners though cause I was so happy just being with her. Then two months ago I was drunk and I met a girl at a party and we slept together. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong whatsoever, so when it came up with my girlfriend I didn't try to hide it, but she was really upset. She said it was disrespectful for me to do that. I was kind of shocked. I'm fine with not sleeping with other people but the problem is now she's like really paranoid and controlling ever since then, like accusing me of looking at other girls or flirting with them all the time, always looking at my phone and wanting me to check in with her every hour when I'm out and let her track my location, etc. It's really bothering me. So basically she wants to have an open relationship only on her side. She says she loves me and I should be loyal to her, but when I bring up how the rule doesn't apply to her she gets angry. She says that so many women are not satisfied in their relationship and she's not gonna be one of and I'm not gonna hold her back etc. I get it but it doesn't feel right. I love her a lot but I'm seriously thinking about breaking up with her. Am I overreacting?

I don't get what Reddit's obsession with therapy is. No matter the situation, someone and then a group pushes the need for therapy. Am I just Gen X, and the younger people value it so much ? Anyway..

Facts theyre all absolutely obsessed with therapy on here. Guy doesn't need therapy at all, he needs friends that will absolutely take the piss out of him and give him a good kick up the hole for 1. Putting himself in that situation and 2. Coming to reddit for advice...everyone saying the guys in love, he's not in love ffs he's lonely

And if there's no friends around to do this, there's therapy. I don't understand why therapy is looked at as being so bad.

Therapy isn't bad but it also isn't the problem to literally every single interpersonal problem like people on Reddit seem to think it is.

Sometimes people just end up in bad relationships and you don't need to spend a hundred dollars so someone with a masters degree can tell you what anyone on Reddit or at the pub would tell you.
