[DaveJord]

I think they are good and fun, until it's not. But by the time you figure out that it's not, it's too late for it to really matter. If you want an open relationship, then why even call it a relationship, and why even get married.

Now open marriage, well basically if that is what you want why be married? I mean you could just divorce and keep hooking up on the side, but by the time you have reacted that point your probably bored with it any way.

[genericname85]

it's a win situation for womena nd a lose situation for men. because women will find other guys to fuck and get validation that way and feel great about it. men will be avoided by women if they know they are actually in a relationship. cause they're not looking for a quick fuck like most men do. they're looking for a provider.

[myloveforuisinfinte]

Wth is this?
Nope. Never I have more respect myself more than to be anyone’s side chick. Don't want to be an option fr. Also I'm possessive too.

[vicphilips]

Thats great for you 😏

[myloveforuisinfinte]

Lol it's bullshit honestly. How can you not care if the person you love is having sex with someone other than myself. I guess call me old fashioned.. possesive.. insecure but my man is my man only.
Wbu? What's your opinion on this?

[vicphilips]

I am in favor of monogamy, but I asked such a question because I was curious.

[myloveforuisinfinte]

Lol 😂 I read many comments here. lmao wth is happening nowadays

[vicphilips]

Because they are too excited 🤪

[myloveforuisinfinte]

😂😂😂

[mandyfire98]

If everybody is on board and it works for them I definitely support it.

I'm poly but not fully open.

[vicphilips]

So how is your relationship?

[mandyfire98]

I have a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend and I only sleep with them and nobody else

[vicphilips]

Is threesome included in this?

[mandyfire98]

No actually. They don't hook up at all. They only share me

[vicphilips]

Okay I understand

[Anonymous]

It's questions like these that makes me realize this era of dating/marriages is an utter joke to even fathom these types things. If people want to fool around DO NOT GET INTO A RELATIONSHIP, DO NOT GET MARRIED. To those with this mindset, keep acting like a 16 year old, emotionally scarred person from family stuff or past boyfriends or girlfriends trapped in a 25 year old body or 35 year+ old body and keep "fooling" around. There are people who want to genuinely get married and have a long lasting, loving, caring, passionate marriage until they grow old, get grey and die together. If I was with the girl I loved and got married to, it doesn't matter how many 10/10 IG female models flirted with me, I wouldn't entertain it and I would just block those girls. That's how life sometimes works for guys, they get rejected, rejected, rejected. Finally they meet a girl and then all of a sudden, he gets attention by other women who want him, makes no sense.

[IslaTheWitch]

if both partners feel comfortable, it's their choice. I definitely wouldn't go for it :D

[vicphilips]

Okay 😏

[Nikki1989]

Over 9 years and stronger and closer than ever before. Don't believe the nonsense that it doesn't work. What that really means is it would never work for THEM.

[Kelly6]

@Nikki1989 totally agree

[Simslover92]

I don't judge those that partake in an open relationship/open marriage but that's definitely not for me. I believe in monogamy.

[shoeboxcerealcard]

Do you keep that philosophy for all things relationship?

[Simslover92]

Meaning do I not judge all things relationship? Yes. I don't judge people for whatever they choose to do. I just know what I do and believe in.

[BCRanger10]

An "open marriage" is a contradiction. Marriage is an exclusive bond, so the idea of an "open marriage" is not only sinful and immoral, but also illogical and preposterous.

[Kelly6]

@vicphilips yes I’m in open marriage at it totally works for us

[vicphilips]

How long have you been in an open relationship? What do you do?

[Kelly6]

More then 6 years

[vicphilips]

If it's not problem for you can we talk in private? I have some question

[Kelly6]

Ask.

[vicphilips]

I can't text to you. You can text to me

[Anonymous]

I'm in an open marriage and everything is fine, just we have strict rules that we can't fall in love with other people and have children from other people.

[vicphilips]

For example, what do you do?

[DrPepper12]

No my so is too traditional. I think it should be the norm and monogamy is an unnatural, recent social construct.

[SolitarySolace]

I think it completely defeats the purpose of marriage... But that's just my opinion.

[gorydetails]

They almost always end in disaster. Human beings can't handle cheating. Even if it's under the guise of being condoned and fun.

[DextroShade]

Unless it is only open on the man's end it is just cuckoldry.

[Lokiion]

I don’t got no opinion on it if it works for you why stop

[whistlingwh0res]

What’s the point? Why marry then? Just be single?

[msc545]

It's really great for Family Law attorneys. Sadly, I am not one.

[dustybiker2]

Why bother getting married.

[shoeboxcerealcard]

Everyone doesn't want the same type of relationship is everybody else. Some people want romance in theirs and some don't. Some want drug use in theirs and some don't. Some want kids apart of it and some don't.

[dustybiker2]

@shoeboxcerealcard I wasn't judging others. Only pointing out it's pointless getting married if in an open relationship.

[DrPepper12]

Why? It's a tax break and makes all manner of things smoother. Plenty of reasons for marrying or divorcing that have nothing to do with how you feel for each other!

[dustybiker2]

@DrPepper12 sure green cards too.

[DrPepper12]

Yeah, that too!!

[kaozpiper]

Big no. Anyone who wants an open relationship is a cheater and wants to cheat with no consequences.

[DrPepper12]

Why the judgement? If it's safe, consensual and legal then they get to define the terms of their relationships - not you!

[Nikki1989]

We are not cheating, the three of us are super close. Think harder next time before making judgements about people you have no clue about.

[DrPepper12]

@kaozpiper You couldn't be further from reality! @Nikki1989 is right! Stop judging! They are HAPPY with their relationships! What more could ANYONE want from relationships other than to enjoy spending time together? 🙄

[spicythunder]

What exactly does open relationship mean?

[vicphilips]

You can date someone, but you can also meet someone else (like hooking up and sex)

[spicythunder]

I think it could be haha

[loladevine]

One day I’m gonna turn polyamorous

[goebenbreslau]

it's not something i can approve

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I think its immoral.

[shoeboxcerealcard]

Only your thinking makes it so. Your belief system and wherever it originates ie religion. Everything is Amoral in nature. However, I wouldn't want an open marriage either. I could do an open relationship once upon a time.

[DrPepper12]

WHYY? Why do YOU get to define the morality of their relationships? If it's done openly and honestly and with mutual consent where is the immorality?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@DrPepper12: It's adultery.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. According to the law it would be adultery however those laws are based on anachronistic misogynistic theocratic bullshit!! The only people who get to decide the terms of their marriage are the people who are married to each other. That's it! That's all! It's not a mystery and it's not immoral if it's consensual.

[laly520]

pure bs

[jahaims]

They are doomed

[MrDaveAPSI]

Immoral
