Wholesome and open relationships should be normalized. Why aren't they? (Page 3)

[ObscuredBeyond]

Promiscuity and wholesomeness are mutually exclusive concepts.

[strateguy632]

the popularity of bad relationships on tik tok videos is to complain not to normalize.

[Dargil]

Open relationships are not wholesome. Their purpose is to maintain the steady supply of sex without darned expectations of exclusivity.

[Ricky1966]

I was with the same woman for 14 years and for three years she had a side guy. I'm okay if my SO wants to have a side piece

[Pyrofox]

Because open relationships aren't truly open they are tolerated.

[MountAverage]

Well but that's what's happening. Open relationships are pretty common these days, MUCH more so than just 10 years ago. And everyone's talking about them, so there's definitely progress.

[Jdjfjcjj]

A 17 year old describing how relationships should work lol

[Agape93]

Very ingrained social expectation of monogamy, and a male instinct towards mate exclusivity.

[RockyHammock]

@Agape93 a male instinct?

[Agape93]

Correct. It's a biological trait most men have had for thousands of years.

[RockyHammock]

Why do you think that is?

[Agape93]

You tell me

[RockyHammock]

I dont believe it's true, which is why I wanted to hear you out?

[Agape93]

What you believe is irrelevant, as would be my ideas on why it is. I'm not a biologist, a sociologist, a psychologist or even a guy. I have 0 idea why.

[RockyHammock]

That's a rather close minded belief. For the record, if I believed either of our opinions were irrelevant - I wouldn't of brought it up. Take care

[Agape93]

You as well

[worldscolide]

" I'm not a biologist, a sociologist, a psychologist or even a guy"

At least you know what gender you are!!! lol

[SolitarySolace]

I want to stay single. I don’t like the idea of sharing a person. Besides relationships make me too frustrated.

[nawtee_me]

What is the point of an open relationship? If you are giing to be with more that one person then why be in a relationship at all? That just gives the right to cheat.

[Guanfei]

Nah. If you want to be a hoe, stay single. Don't use that "open relationship" bullshit to get fucked by multiple guys while using an idiot to pay for everything.

[Guanfei]

Well, sounds like you're a very exceptional take about "open relationship" that isn't what I described.
This one, I agree with. People should be free to talk about anything in a relationship, because you don't fix things be ignoring and burying them.

[U4ea0]

Open relationships aren't real relationships. They fail 99% of the time.

[Exterminatore]

Because western societies are too busy normalizing gay and tranny relationships.

[elizamichale1]

So true n i just wish people could see through the benefits of it

[Phoenix98]

Because it's not a relationship nor is there anything wholesome or moral about it.

[CALIGVLA]

Change my mind:

FWBs are much better than open relationships.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Because they're disgusting. I don't want someone else fucking my girlfriend.

[MissBoogus]

I’m in an open relationship and it has been the most wholesome and genuine relationship I’ve ever been in

[convo_king89]

Apparently the idea that one at a time bite is more serious than a hand full bite. I don't know

[bamesjond0069]

I'm just going to say don't use the term "open relationship" because it means something very different than you are talking about.
