Open relationships

So some of you probably know that I am for open relationships

so this thread will be devoted to discussion of them and peoples experience with them or observations of them

DISCUSS

i am happy with my girlfriend that i have been with for almost 3 years. But that is just me, I am not against it for someone else. Its a personal choice i think

and Open relationships doesn't mean commitment.

It just means commitment in a different way

Neither parties place the natural restrictions but that doesn't mean that you both rush out and start looking for other people to fuck.

You spend time together whenever you want, develop a close relationship, etc.

you just don't demand that the significant other stay away from other girls as a means of legitimizing the feelings in the relationship.

like free love?

Sounds STD generating.

Me and my Girlfriend practice a open relationship for about 2 years now, and we find talking about how shabby our last session of sex was - generates a lot of LuLz.

There's nothing wrong with open relationships as long as it's consentual; if it isn't, that means one of the parties doesn't know, and may become very hurt if they find out, or both parties know, but one isn't okay with it, which will probably lead to an end in the relationship.

One girl is enough for me, personally (i couldn't imagine trying to juggle two women at once. I can hardly handle one with all the political activity, school and job work). But i've seen open relationships work before, and i'm sure i'll see it work again, so there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

I think open relationships are fine as long as both people are in agreement. In fact I think that over-commitment is one of the key causes of seperation. If both partners respect eachothers space the relationship will last much longer due to the fact that tensions assosiated with over commitment do not exist.

However when children are involved I think a reasonable level of commitment is essential.

yeah i agree and the family being utilized as the social unit of society places stress on lovers to enter a monogamous relationship when it comes to children because economically it becomes very difficult.

Which is why i support multi-family homes

I support parents fuck off from controlling their kids.

What??

my parents are evil. I hate them, and I hate having a family because it makes you have parents. I have seen what the family unit can do, so I am opposed to it.

Can you please tell us, why you hate them? What happened?

Heh, as far as i know, they're just a couple of fashies. Get to bed by 8, don't have friends, eat your veggies; that kind of thing.

Theyre just losers who I hate. My new favorite song is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

haha just messing but im actually not to down with open relationships, i just got pretty wrecked because of one. i prefer orthodox relationships, but that is just me being a romantic.

Lucy in the Sky with DIamonds was actually based on a picture his son drew.

Well for my love and devotion to my woman I was forced to a unilateral open-relationship, that meaning my girl fucked and hanged out with anyone she wanted while I was at work and home pressing my fists wanting to kill every male in her city from 15 to 35 years old at least for some months, then I just stopped wanted to kill but I was still frustrated.

I think ANY kind of relationship is good as long as all the parties involved agree, that is be it an opne relationship, a polygamous relationship, even incestous relationships, same sex relationships, whatever, the matter is that all parties involved agree.

That's your personal perspective which is not compatible at all with mine.

If you start a relationship with someone and you settle rules from the begining and one breaks those rules it's wrong, as simple as that. If you can't understand something as simple as that, I won't take you seriously.
