What do you think about open relationships?
I personally couldn’t do it, I like being with one person but I don’t judge those who prefer it.
I can’t even find one relationship.
Tried it for a year. Didn't work. It's perpetual dating which is the worst. Then they get jealous.
I have no interest. I don't judge others for having them, but sex carries a strong emotional attachment for me and therefore I'm only into monogamous connections.
I think it’s one of those things where both partners have to be 100% on board with what it means. There can’t be jealousy and you have to be ok with the idea of your partner sleeping with more people than you possibly. I think most people who consider an open relationship don’t really think about it means so it inevitably fails
For 99.9% of the population, it will go down in flames
Like most things in life it'll work for some and not for others.
Not for me but won't judge
It's definitely not for me
I can't imagine loving someone and flocking someone else.
im genuinely not a fan, i prefer monogamy as i feel a much closer bond can be created between two people rather than a group. however that is not how it is for everyon.
I'm in one. Going strong almost 8 years. Requires a ton of communication. Also, what counts as an open relationship varies wildly and the boundaries/rules are determined by the people within the relationship. There is no one size fits all.
Not for me, but I don't care if everyone's a consenting adult and no one is taken advantage of. The issue IMHO is that if you go from monogamous to open it is shifting the relationship in ways that rarely work, but if you come at it from the start there's decent chances of making it work
I can barely handle one relationship
Not my thing but also not my business.
Stupid. My ex husband insisted on it even though I cried and begged and told him my heart doesn’t work like that. I left for someone who didn’t want to share me.
Nice in theory, usually disasters in practice.
Not for me but whatever
Hard work to maintain. But they aren't inherently bad. Just requires more communication than a monogamous one.
I think that anyone else's relationship that I am not involved in, and that does not cause another person harm, is none of my business and not for me to judge.
I think it's better to be single
To each their own!!! However, I would imagine having an open relationship requires both people to communicate more than a traditional, monogamous marriage.
I would rather be single my whole life than be in an open relationship with someone
It's not for me
It’s cool if you & your partner wanna do that, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
I am seeing this become popular but don't think i can do this.
I personally don't understand the point in them
99/100 times it’s just because one partner wants to flock other people.
Never seen one go well.
if it works for you, go ham and cheese. if it doesn't, don't go ham and cheese. different strokes for different folks, as they say.
In theory it could work but I've never encountered a couple who's relationship wasn't ruined by it.
If that’s what you want to do then that’s what you want to do
Not for me but as long as all parties agree you do do.
I don't see the point
Who has that much time?
I just like pineapples and I don’t understand why people keep trying to touch my ding dong
I see no issues as long as everyone in thr relationship knows about eachother and there is open COMMUNICATION
No thank you. If my girlfriend wants an open relationship, then it means I’m not giving her everything she wants. At that point, I’ll just leave because if I don’t give into the open relationship, then she would just cheat anyway.
Different strokes for different folks.
I’m fascinated with them because I can’t understand how they work. All that intimacy, vulnerability, trust, etc etc but multiplied. That’s hard.
Personally, I automatically say no to being a part of an open relationship. That being said, if there are couples who work on open relationships, then good for them. There's no judgement coming from me. What works for some people won't always work for me, and that's OK. If you're happy, then I'm happy for you.
10+ years, going strong, and having a great time!!
Ruined 15 years of togetherness. Don’t. Just don’t. If you are monogamous by principle, DO NOT EVER ADJUST YOUR VALUES FOR ANYONE.
