What Do you think about Open Relationship?

Question

McLlovin · Accepted Answer

I think open relationships is stupid. Why have a open relationship. People that do this just want to have their cake and eat it too. In the end what they have is a powder keg of drama waiting to happen.

Its just like friends with benefits, you think you are good to go until sooner or later someone catch feelings and wants more. We are not built for that kind of relationship, but typical human beings thinks they can beat the built in system with shear will power. It will catch up with you just give it time.

What is the point of calling it a "relationship" if it is open? It's like being married but giving each other permission to cheat. Why not just keep dating whoever you want without getting into a relationship at all?

And when you die, do you get buried next to the one you fucked most often, or the last one you fucked?

I don't think. Not my story. In my relationship, there are only two people - he and me.

I don't really get it. It's a very different value system from mine which values monogamy so much. I think where I get confused is how to deal with any kids born out of such relationships, like if there's one woman and three men. Do they all take care of the kids or just the one who impregnated her? It sounds very messy to me at least if pregnancies get involved, especially in the polyandrous case.

Then again if there are no plans for kids whatsoever and careful use of birth control, then I don't see much wrong with that except I don't see the appeal of living together, e. g., in that case (assuming these relationships work towards sharing a household). Since it's generally much easier to maintain a very exciting and fun relationship if people don't share a home.

There is no way that an "Open Relationship" is a good thing as they are usually proposed by the woman who is probably already in another relationship, even if it is only an emotional one, If you want to listen to some tales around 'Open Relationships/Marriages' go to these Channels on Youtube;

Lots of emotional dynamics involved.

They can work with the right personalities, but they can end up in an explosion with the wrong ones as well.

Sometimes just a friends with benefits is a little better.

It can work if everyone is on board completely and there is no insecurity involved. I'm polyamorous and my relationships are going perfectly.

It has worked for us for almost 9 years.

BlissfullyCurSed · Answer

By no means, it is a real relationship. It is just a bunch of people with commitment issues pretending to be in a relationship.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Not worth it. If you're partner wants someone else involved in your relationship they don't give a fuck about you. They'll lie and say they only love you but that's not true. Open relationships only complicate things further.

bobalife · Answer

I respect others who can do it, but I just need only one person 😌

XXTruthfulOgrexx · Answer

You might as well not be in a relationship and just date casually. All this means is your single but still have a fall back safety net.

OtterMan68 · Answer

it's pretty much friends with benefits. For married couples, it means one of the couple can't satisfy the other, so it's OK to look outside the marriage.

DextroShade · Answer

Unless it's open on only the man's end it is no different than cuckoldry. If you are with a girl and she says she wants to fuck other dudes you should immediately break it off or make her recreational use only otherwise you are a loser.

Minahh · Answer

To me its not intimate anymore the whole point of an intimate relationship is that no other person except your partner knows you as you know yourself. Third person is just a third wheel.

Anonymous · Answer

I kinda like the idea of one, but I fear I might be too insecure to actually make it work.
