Lately it seems that I am hearing a lot of women promoting open marriage and polymory in their marriage. I can't wrap my head around how this is okay with people, especially with men. Who is the father to her kids? Who pays the child support? In my days , thing of value doesn't get shared with other people, this is a sick world people are making for their kids to live in. What is the reason to get married if you want a relationship with someone else. I am ready to get off this rock we call earth. People put no value on relationships and marriage anymore. From what I have seen, it seems to be more of the women pushing for this than men. Women can find a man to have sex with so easy but men have to work hard to get a woman to have sex with him. This one of the main reasons I think people should stop getting married or into a relationship. What is your opinion on this subject.
The funny thing is this is exacerbating the sexual market place. Now there are even MORE available women for sex so men will have even less pressure or reason to marry or commit in any way.
Then the top men will get even more women, which now as part of polyamory it will be acceptable for women to share a man. But ofc top men don't need to share their women.
We're clearly heading towards the polygyny and war of olden days. Where you will see some men with many wives, wife hood being a sign of property, and most men having only prostitutes (that are pimped by the top men), and old women and ugly women to mingle with.

If both parties want it, more power to them. Here's my observations about marriage, so far, because I've a lot of living left to do, I hope:
"Most" women seem to equate love/marriage with fidelity first and foremost, with sex being a grand and magical thing that she gifts to you, followed by a whole list of other things that prove you love her.
Most men seem to equate love/marriage with providing for the woman/family as best they can, having enough sex to satisfy them but don't put sex on a golden pedestal, followed by their own list of things they want you to give them to prop up their ego.I think the problem is self-explanatory? LOL
I first heard of polymory when I was 15. Give it another 10 years and marriage will no longer be anything normal.
As for me (because I am not perfect) I am now on my 9th partner, and I have been with him for two years now. NO WAY WOULD WE EVER do this stuff, it's just not for us, even if we both have had multiple partners.
I think it’s very inappropriate, frankly. It goes against the whole concept of a relationship and marriage.

Never going to happen in my life.
it's degenerate, there's not much more to add. Monogamy was created recently for a reason. Now it's being replaced and for what reason? because you couldn't control yourself? you wanted more sex or "love" from someone else?
it's not my life so I wouldn't judge other people who do it but it's definitely not for me.
Pathetic, disgusting, and unworthy of respect. If people are that gross and immature, then just be single. They can do what they want and be as immature as they feel like without having to pretend like what they have is anything authentic between each other. Why do they have to pretend what they have is a "relationship?" I have no respect for cuckolds or mistress women, whatsoever. That is nasty!
I think that if the people involved are all of legal age and all are consenting then that's what they choose. The slippery slope of saying what should or shouldn't be done is that that can easily be turned around. As for your update, absolutely not.
I can't imagine a guy worth his salt going a long with that. I couldn't respect a man that accepted me sleeping with other men, if I can't respect him I can't be with him.
sounds like another bad idea some of our selfish generation "re-invented" to solve their problems.
you hit on a lot of reasons it's a bad idea.. If the humans are flexible enough, then it might work.
Like Mike Tyson said so well..."everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face".
I know someone who's done this and it's something I couldn't ever do. They were by always fighting, and I personally feel like when the lady became pregnant the last time, it wasn't from her partner. Lol
It's not my cup of tea but I also don't have a problem with other people doing it... you have to do what make you and your partner happy and that works for you then great if it's doesn't then great
Open on both sides is okay if it works for the couple but open on one side is where I don't like it. Im not into open relationships but im happy for those it works for.
I could never be in an open relationship or marriage for that matter.
If I had a partner who wanted to do anything romantic, intimate or sexual with someone else, then they can leave.Who is the father to the kids? yea that's why I would never accept other man.
i don't see the point of getting married if you're just going to act like you're single. it's pathetic and desperate.
If she asks for one, then it's divorce time. Won't ask for one, won't tolerate her asking me.
If somebody wants to do it it is fine with me. I never would.
It's kind of stupid because it defeats the whole purpose of being married
If you want this, then why you want to get married in the first place?
I think its wrong. Marriage should be exclusive between one man and one woman.
To me its the best idea
It makes me think they are two people who settled.
i would never want it
