Why do people engage in "open" relationships? Isn't it just an excuse to cheat rather than just have friends with benefits or better yet, causal flings? (Page 2)

Excuse to cheat. Know someone in one. He's trapped and has no choice. Either open relationship or she divorces him and ruins him financially.

It can't be cheating if it is truly open and discussed.

As many websites & people will say most "open" relationships are just toxic even before they became "open". Usually it is someone with low self esteem / respect that believes they can't get anyone else & agrees with "open" to keep their toxic partner.

Those people who want to be in a relationship but sleep with a lot of people do that. They think it's normal. But in reality, they need a therapist.
