i think i like the idea of open relationships again.
because,
i just have this fear of ‘my man’ wanting to flirt and date other women it is not that i am ‘not enough’ it is just that there are other cool women out there.
so instead of worrying about that and instead of even something like that happening where it actually happens, i think maybe an open relationship is fine.
especially for example if i have a friend whom i invest my energy into and then one day i find out he likes her, and wants to flirt, well why not just let him
and i will also be free to do as i please or whatever
i don’t know have not thought this through but it sort of looks appealing to me
a relationship with good communication.
what do you ‘peeps’ think about open relationships vs closed relationships?
i feel like it makes the relationship more relaxed aswell?
sorry i did this topic a long time ago but now i am really more into it than before.
I would not want an open relationship. it opens you up to a much greater risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease with both you you sleeping around.
There are diseases that gets transmitted by skin, breath, etc Also body fluids like kissing or genital secretions like touching these fluids with your hands etc I say its risky. Not only that, I would feel bad emotionally if my gf slept around. I guess some people have less emotions about that, I am not one of those.
I have tried the open relationship model before, but inevitably one will develop an attachment and feelings for the other person. If it’s not Mutual it’s too painful. It’s only human, and it’s bound to cause major difficulties, if not a complete train wreck.
That has been my own experience. Maybe yours will be different I don’t know
I think it’s important to work on yourself first before trying to enter a relationship. That way whatever hangups you have will be taken care of.
Like attracts like. So if you’re happy and healthy you will attract the same.
As for my opinion it’s better to leave swinging and cuckolding as a fantasy between your partner and you. I’ve heard so many stories of people who have tried that stuff in a relationship and it almost always ruins everything.
It’s one thing to dress your wife up in sexy clothing and go out in public and be turned on by the attention. But it’s a whole other ballpark to watch your wife have sex with another dude.
Before I met and married my husband I was in a year long relationship with a married couple that ended in them getting a divorce. Open relationships are hard.
Open relationships are very unhealthy. There will always be a deep desire within us for the natural security of monogomy. How can you look at someone and say I love you or were great together and you get home from work or something and they’re hanging out with some other girl. It’s traumatizing… people fail us but it doesn’t mean we should stop trying for what is right. A promise kept and true love between two lovers. Love requires total commitment. There can’t be a “way out” or it’s not true love.
