Is an Open Marriage a Happier Marriage?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[SebShaw82]

Not necessarily. I'd say happier marriage comes from mutual understanding of each other's needs and goals and both working to fulfil them. It doesn't need to be open for every couple.
If both parties agree on one or both of them wanting multiple sexual partners, then it can be happier but that depends on the couple. There is hardly a one size fits all rule that can be applied.

Open relationships/marriages are complete bullshit tbh, it's not love it's just people with no self control who wanna fuck everyone but also feel the happiness of love which is bullshit because true love needs exclusivity, they're basically lying to themselves, it's pathetic

[TangledTK]

It's not for everyone and it's certainly not a magical relationship fix. If there are any issues in the 'open and honest' department before opening the relationship, you're going to have a bad time.

It can be for some people, not for others. Anyone considering it should read Opening Up by Tristan Taormino. So, it's not a yes or no question, and you didn't give a third option.

[Anonymous]

There is always a danger that a third person is a better lover, a more compassionate friend, and more of a personality match. It is simply gambling with what you have.

[FakeName123]

No. It is as clear as it gets that if you have an open relationship/marriage, that you are NOT fully committed to your partner. This really shouldn't be rocket science.

Can there be open relationships/marriages that work on a superficial level and some sort of friends with benefits long-term? Unlikely to work out, but possibly.
Is it in any way comparable to the emotional depth you can have to a single person, if you fully commit yourself? No.

No and in fact i´ve heard a lot of men in open marriage being in a dead bedroom due to wife newfound stud who fucks her like a whore, has big dick and hard rock abs on the top of it.

[JaneMane]

Hahahaha

[PaulMarrow]

No it's a perverted arraignment not even a marriage. NYT is very fake news.

[passinby]

It might seem that way for a while until things turn to shit in a bad way. Human jealousy will eventually rear its head and times ten.

[KingDeAce]

No it’s just you’ve given each other the right to cheat on each other openly.
Which leads to the question that why you married each other at all.

[madgoat]

Not to most people. I can see it would work for a few people though.

[lord_chilled]

Open marriage =/= marriage.

Degenerates violating the essence of a true marriage...

[LegateLanius]

I think that you might as well just be best friends with benefits at that point. No point in getting married as you are not committed.

[Rick912]

It can be if both partners agree on it. There is no cheating in an open marriage. And the exciting sex lives can be shared which each other.

[Flower-petal]

I think it's ridiculous really

[bubble_tea]

Not necessarily. Only to some people it could be.

[Conservative89s]

What's the point of marriage if it's an open one !
And these people are cucks.

[makuks]

it is a disgusting marriage

[Anonymous]

That’s just stupid tbh

[SleeplessEleotriada]

Inquiring minds wants to know..

[Naydyonov]

No most definitely not

[Anonymous]

does this mean easier threesomes or orgies lol?

[suckinurclit]

Can be if u do not get jealous easily

[Gludiusmax]

Depends on the value of the couple

[Vermilion]

No, not at all.

[Gramer]

Would you do it in the future? :D

[Vermilion]

No, I am a firm believer of monogamy.

[Gramer]

It's about love but do you see other people doing it? :D
