Are you confident that you will not emotionally cheat when you are in an open relationship?

My aim on GAG is to decode love, red flags, and messy feelings so you don’t lose your mind or your heart 💋

In an open relationship, emotional cheating is still totally possible. Physical freedom doesn’t cancel emotional boundaries. It takes brutal honesty, clear rules, strong communication, and serious self-awareness. If someone is lonely, insecure, or secretly looking for “the one,” an open setup can turn into silent lovebombing and low-key emotional affairs fast.

If your "sexual needs" had nothing to do with emotions then you would be satisfied jorking alone.ㅤ

Well I'm in an open relationship only on one side, and only kind of. My boyfriend knows I cheat with Blacks who have what I need (that he doesn't), but we don't ever talk about it directly. He has even started setting me up with Blacks he's sure I will like. It's like he has a sensor for the really big ones. But that's just physical and while the sex is incredibly emotional and even spiritual, it's not the same kind of love I have for my boyfriend. And even though I can't stop myself if a Black is attractive and big enough, I would never let him cheat, either emotionally or physically. He started flirting with my friend and I couldn't really handle it.

Completely. That's a chick problem.

If a guy is worried about anything he's worried about a woman losing interest. And then he in turn has to determine is this salvageable or not. Because a lot of women will not flirt with a guy UNTIL she knows he's in a relationship. If a guy is in relationship that's on the rocks he's weighing odds. He doesn't want to give up on the woman he loves. But sometimes she already has, she just hasn't made it totally clear yet. Good men actually annoyed by women that try to poach him like that.

'Open' just means non-monogamous. For many, for me, the purpose is love not sex.

@pretendingtobesweet As I am in kind of open relationship, emotionally I still don't cheat

Open relationships are for emotionally unhealthy people who want unhealthy validation

Isn't an open relationship where you're free to date and sleep with other people?

[Pretendingtobesweet]

Physically yes emotionally no

No, I would perhaps get feelings. I could not do an open relationship.
