Wholesome and open relationships should be normalized. Why aren't they? (Page 2)

[stepyo99]

I'm not sure. The whole world has been flipped upside down in the past several decades or so. Everything bad and immoral is normal and everything good and moral is abnormal

At least you guys have your own little microcosm of good to shelter from the storm of insanity going on. Hold on to that.

love doesn't grow in an open relationship. you will live your life like having flings and jealousy is inevitable which just make the fling bitter so all the more love won't grow.


a romantic love should be like that of parental love that kind of i tensity

The world has been told for a very long time that monogamy is the go. Its going to take a long time for people to be accepting of other kinds of relationships. But it's happening slowly. Some are already perfectly ok with that. But individual people may still prefer monogamy even if they are accepting of open relationships.

[TheSpaceGnome]

"Wholesome in this context is: Considerate, sweet, compassionate, thoughtful, generous, and genuine."

That requires monogamy.
If you are in a relationship with more than one person, you are not being considerate, sweet, compassionate, or thoughtful.

You're cheating, and there is NOTHING wholesome about that, stop trying to normalize it.

[lucasnabizada]

People who consider themselves to have a 'wholesome' relationship are usually what people want and aspire to anyhow--Open relationships are a mutual arrangement that you get at concerning sexuality--So I guess i'm not sure what/which one you are asking about...

Are you talking about wholesome people or people who fuck around with people other than their spouses? The latter is the thing being normalized-

It's not normalized because it's not normal.
Human beings are monogamous creatures. Most people's hearts can't take the idea of their partner sleeping with someone else.
It's just the way we are.

Of course there are people who are ok with it and actually enjoy the idea of polygamy. No judgment here, they can live their lives however they damn well please.
But the idea of it ever being normalized? I don't think so

[JordanianNumetal]

Sorry but that isn't an open relationship. I'm surprised you even want the title of a open relationship. If you have to have a talk before anyone does something, it is no longer open. You just want to call it that, so you dont feel bad screwing someone behind there back.. walks, talks, and quacks like a duck, its an open duck but its still a duck.

you need a dictionary because that is not the definition of wholesome. even in the context you are trying to use it.

[Juxtapose]

Open relationships are recipe for disaster in most cases. There's very few people I know that I would even begin to trust with such a thing.

Most of the time it's going to lead to a lot of jealousy and one person getting a lot of extra ass while the other person is left in the dust, typically the more bashful partner.

Because nobody talks about them. Instead people talk and glorify sex. They call dudes simps and virgins and call girls hoes and people brag about their sex life. That's why wholesome and honest relationships aren't normal. Life is pretty much about being better than other people and when that is life you get superficial people and culture.

[LickwidSkie]

I think the reason it's not more common is because people get jealous. Most people want their partner to be faithful to them. Also, having sex with other people puts both people at risk for STDs.

[sunkissedwolfe]

There's too much maintenance when it comes to this. Things can either be really good or really bad. I'm not judging people who resonate with that lifestyle but its not for me. I want to feel safe and secure in that someone wants only me as I want only them.

Whenever I think about open relationships I still view it as being given permission to cheat since you would've done it in a monogamous relationship. Like, how is one person not enough? What drives you to want to be in one?

[Anonymous]

I get the impression you're not actually talking about "open relationships" in the sense most people here are taking it. Am I right? An "open relationship" is one in which two partners are "together" but are also free to have sex with others too.

[WHOSAYING]

I think many people are afraid of emotions. Some of them have been used to leading a Life full of rationality, and work. Some people dread the idea of not receiving any response to their feelings and therefore build up this shield, and pretend to be independent.

I totally agree. Younger people are getting more vile with their language and more sexualised. To the point of tackiness. It’s not shocking, but it’s disappointing.

[Nik1hil]

Because a Happy Person in Wholesome relationship consumes less Products and cannot be easily used.

A sad person in unhappy state can easily be turned into a consumer, and that consumer is good source of money for Corporates

[Exterminatore]

You make a good point.

[JamesHarrys]

Hell no. Monogamy is virtuous and keep civilizations running. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If she asks for an open relationship, chances are, she's already cheating.

We have normalized everything
What’s left should be normalized too
When we die we all go to heaven then because we tell god I killed him because it was normalized

People are possessive and no one deep down their emotional core likes to share or being intimate with a person who is intimate with others.

[soulOnDisplay]

Im assuming you mean open relationship as in the healthy kind, not the other kind which is unhealthy.
