Wondering how to approach my partner on a delicate subject? How do I avoid opening with something dramatic like "We have to talk / There's something I have to ask you"? It seems we've already had tons of discussions that started like that and often ended in tears and frustration... Any tips are welcome, please!! [Side note, more details] I'm a woman in a hetero couple. We've already discussed the "maybe-possibly-we'll see" of my having a girlfriend-with-benefits. Never happened yet. Thing is, there's this new girl who I'm curious about... she's part of a common group of friends. How do I bring the subject up with my boyfriend to check if he'd be ok with my low-key flirting with her? Is this the world's worst idea?
