Re: Open relationships
[ QUOTE ]
I personally think it's unrealistic in any relationship where there is love and mutual respect. At the end of the day jealousy is pretty universal. Also there is always the risk that someone falls in love.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but why take the chance if you really care about someone? You're probably better off cheating and hoping to not get caught than you are openly swinging. The latter almost certainly will result in an eventual breakup. If you cheat and conceal it effectively, you might not get caught, you might be able to get over the guilt, and the relationship might be fine.
At the end of the day, a great relationship is way too precious to mess around with. If you need to be polygamous simply don't have a serious relationship. They're not for everyone.

I agree. A buddy of mine just recently discussed with a close gf of his, as they were unclear as to where they were at, and he said they agreed on an open relationship. The problem is... is my buddy would never ever go out and hook up with another girl. Which is why I don't understand why he would agree to an open relationship. It just seems like I couldn't respect myself if I knew my girlfriend was out fooling around.
