One sided open relationship

Just curious about everything. I’m with my ex partner right now and we broke up about 2 months ago because of a lot of stuff and yeah. We started hanging out again and realized that we are definitely way more for each other and come to appreciate one another more and we are sorta dating. One thing that’s weird is that she wants to continue to see other people for sex and I shouldn’t date other people. She gets really jealous at the thought of me being with someone else and was really upset when she asked me if I was talking to anyone and I named a person. She got up and wanted to leave after pondering it for a bit. I sat her down and was basically like I really want you and only you. I haven’t even went on a date with this girl. You have been on plenty of dates with other people and had sex with them, I know because you have told me. So what’s the difference, and she said it’s because she has a name. I have to have an emotional connection in order to do something like that which she values a lot and makes everything so different than anyone else. She’s never felt this way with anyone apparently. She doesn’t use emotion for that stuff. So it’s okay for her to do it. She also just told me I’m overall the best she ever has and I make her cum a lot vs every guy she’s been with since me she hasn’t been able to. So i haven’t asked her why she doesn’t just stick with me then because im afraid its gonna push the limits of what we sorta have. Im naturally monogamous but I know she needs this time to grow as a person because we spent almost 3 years together. So I don’t wanna force any titles or anything, but I don’t wanna be in an open relationship forever. I’m open to the idea and I don’t want it to be as often. Like I could see myself allowing it to happen like four times a year in like the long run but like right now I’m OK being in the open relationship as long as we focus on us a lot. I’m not sure if any of this makes sense but I would love some opinions. Thank you.
