Do open relationships work?

Question

Explain!

Answer

I say no because, for me, it would end in murder. 😊

Answer

I'd say no because then you and the other aren't really in a committed relationship. There's only suppose to be two in a committed relationship not multiple sex partners. Sex with your SO is suppose to be a beautiful and emotional thing. I know that sounds corny but oh well lol

Answer

Yes, they definitely can, but they are certainly not for everyone. It takes a different kind of mindset to deal with this kind of relationship, the time management, the level of openness and communication, the reeling in of jealousy. For some people, it's just not their style, and that's completely okay, but they shouldn't knock others for it being their style and what they feel most comfortable with.

A lot of people will say that there's no commitment in an open relationship, but I beg to differ. My husband and I are married, file taxes together, have a daughter, and are expecting another child. We share everything, and help each other through thick and thin even when it comes to our other relationships. If he and I ever do fall apart, it will not be due to our open/poly status. We have both talked about what we would do if the other person ever wanted to close off the relationship and how hard an adjustment that would be for us. This definitely works for us. We haven't found someone else long term for either of us (or both of us together) but we found each other and enjoy the freedom to explore and love other people in addition to our current relationship.

Answer

What do you mean about open relationship? Do you mean poly where its emotions and sex which is shared or swinging where it's sex only. I have seen both kinds.

Poly: I have seen couples or groups who say it works but iv never seen a group in their old age who have all stayed together so, so far no evidence. I have seen couples who have stayed together and changed over their secondary etc.

Swingeing: our self's included I have seen many long term happy relationship's. Even seen a v elderly loving couple on holiday who have been married decades and swing.

Generally poly is trickier as there's more complexity but I'm sure there's success stories. And with swinging as long as u both like the idea, are honest and not the jealous type keeping all parties informed then it can work no problems. Just play safe and get checked often.
