Have a friend who has an open relationship with husband. They say it's great! Lots of fun. Meet new people all the time. What's y'alls opinion on an open relationship?

    I could never do it, but I guess if two people are on the same page whatever.

    Sometimes I think this would appeal to me. Before marriage I maintained a few relationships. My spouse would not agree, so it's monogamy for us.

    Not for me but whatever floats their boat and works for them.

    I have always had "friends" that I chat with. I have not found the partner that would understand the "benefits" part. I have had a relationship that she wanted to "swing". I guess I didn't understand the rules. You're just supposed to meet and "get some", I looked at it as a second relationship. My bad.

    Yeeeep. I mentioned in another thread I have two husbands.

    Is bigamy legal? I'm just curious.

    As for me NO WAY! I'm greedy and I'm not sharing a man (well not willingly anyways).

    Not for me.
    Emotionally I probably could not connect deeply like I have with my spouse with more than one person. I have never met another person I feel a connection with like I already have. I also do not view sex as casual.

    I have lots of gym girlfriends. Of course no sex or dating is involved, but we can talk private stuff and sexual innuendo if they choose.

    If they share their protein powder, and it isn't your brand, is that cheating, or is that an open relationship?

    Is there monogamous powder relationships? Serial monogamy where you just go from powder to powder as you loose interest and they are used up?

    How many powders can you really enjoy at any one given time?

    Seriously. They all have the same basic essential effect, but you just need to find the one that works best for you and commit. But for some, it is all about the different flavors, or always thinking they are trading up for something that will make them better.

    I don't agree with it but to each his own. My question is why get married then?

    A friend of mine does this open relationship thing. She's sick in the head in many other ways.

    IMO you're inviting other people into your relationship - other mindsets, emotions, emotional baggage and intentions - and walking a very dangerous path as a result. It's like driving: you might be a careful, aware & sober driver - are all the other motorists on the road with you careful, aware & sober? It's always the other drivers you have to be concerned about - right?

    So not for me. I'd probably turn it into a competition then get mad when my significant other was winning.

    I'm not in one but I really think that it depends on what you're comfortable with and how open both partners are in terms of what they both need sexually. To have a successful open relationship I think that both of you need to be 100% honest with each other and about your feelings and you have to approach sexual relationships with other people as just that - a little romp and nothing more, because you're not going to go home with that person.

    You didn't tell everyone about our open relationship? Shame on you. We need to talk... about stuff and thangs.
