Open Relationships

Okay y'all I lied, I'm not really leaving, I couldn't stay away from the org and plus I had a really good ideal 4 a thread I just had 2 put down and this is one of them, so check it out...

Y'all ever meant somebody who claimed they have an open relationship? I've always wondered about these people and if their relationships really worked. U know I've thought about it this before myself. I know this could be argued a great deal, but alot of men do cheat (people cheat), so I was thinking to myself, instead of having myself stress over it, why not just have a open relationship until we're both are really 2 settle down. It'll save time on arguments and me accusing him of cheating all he time, or being jealous of girls (vice versa with the guy) we both just have a understanding with each other of, instead of trying 2 do it behind each other backs, why not be opened about it and do it in the front lines lol... Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking at it like i'm settling for less, but more of 2 people coming 2 a understanding. I know the type of men I like and 4 some reason I'm always attracting those playa' type of men and it's true what they say, unless you don't have a ring on your finger you're really not married.

What y'all think about this

the key to open relationships (or any non-standard relationship) is having VERY open communication and respect for each other. You have to be at a point where you can honestly express feelings of hurt/anger/jealousy, etc and be willing to explore these feelings so they can be resolved and not just fester inside until you destroy your main relationship.

and yes, I do know a few couples with this type of arrangement...for all but one couple it works...and the couple who is being destroyed by it have problems bigger than just the "open" aspect

wackadoo ??

confuse

thats a new one wink

but yes...i think that is how most people would feel...i mean...your partner is to be just that...you dont share your body with anyone else. it would make me physically ill to think of going down on my man...knowing he had just been with some other woman...barf or ...do you really think that you could have your man tell you 'i love you' after he had been makin out with some other bitch all night ?? i think not

so...lisa...

no...i dont think that would work disbelief

yep this is true, it really is about communication and the respect y'all show 2wards each other. He can have all the women he want just make sure he let all the other girls know I'ma always be number one and they come second ...

2 JustKelly ...

There's a difference between having sex and making love. Most of the time when a peron has sex it really doesn't mean anything except 4 a good orgasm neutral. I would rather know about it, then having a guy go behind my back and doing it. At least if we "communicate" in advance I know what I'm dealing with and having the option ofknowing how 2 cope with it.

Anxiety

I think this is a subject that differs wildly for each person and each couple, and can't really be put into a box of "this is right for everyone" or "this is wrong for everyone".

I think it also differs in terms of gay/bi/straight relationships, and beyond that, in terms of so many other factors that work into any given relationship.

That said...personally, I'm a believer in open relationships. This is not to say that I'm in favor of indiscriminate fooling around with people when I'm in a committed relationship - but I think it's natural for people in a long term relationship to get a little burnt out on the same partner year after year, month after month, whatever - and I think with honesty, communication, responsibility and a little bit of confidence, there's nothing wrong with going out for a little bit on the side. It can get the wanderlust out of one's system without feeling the temptation to wander off and cheat, and more often than not, a night of carousing around with the single folks will remind a person of how good they have it with their partner.

I think where it ends with me is when there are secondary relationships and other situations where my partner would have serious emotional relationships with other people, which wouldn't necessarily involve me. I guess I can be all liberal and progressive where sex is concerned, but when it comes to making goo goo eyes for real, that's where I turn into Ol' Miss Sophia and start bustin' heads.

I'm not about 2 step in his way of him doing whatever
Cuz I'm probably gonna be doing my own thing anyway lol


But it's true with anxiety said, there is a thin line, if emotions starts 2 get invovled and those emotions ain't dealing with me, then on it's on fur real lol

Yup, you're right on target. I think also, there has to be the one major rule that the RELATIONSHIP part comes before the OPEN part. You have to know when to knock it off with the extracurricular activity to be present for the person who's number one in your life. I've seen some couples really lose the plot on this issue, which really seems like a simple thing to remember...
