He needs space

I messed up! I got jealous, didn't handle things well and pissed him off and now he's saying he wants space I am respecting that though told him I am here and ready when he needs to talk.

Please tell me if you've been in a similar situation is this salvageable ?

Reason he is so pissed off is not first time and I do know I need to cut it out, but right now I just need to know if this is hopeless or what?

You're allowed to change and reset your boundaries if they aren't working for you.

I wonder are you frightened when he meets someone new that they might become more important to him than you and supplant you?

Do you want to be able to have someone else, but feel the need to reciprocate that freedom?

Honestly if it causes you this much jealousy and angst an open relationship might not be for you. There's a reason why most people dont do this- and its not because we're prudes.
