I know it's not for everyone, and so many people look down on it, but I prefer open relationships.
Have you been in an open relationship before?

I have not been in one before. I would like to have one some time in my life, however not with my current relationship. If this one ever ends then one would be great!

I have.

This is the first and it's been working so far.

I haven't ever been in one. I honestly don't think that I would ever be comfortable with it. My fiance and I have friends who are in an open relationship so we have discussed our feelings about and agree that it isn't for us. However, in our friend's situation it works and makes sense.

No. In my eyes an open relationship is the same as being fuck buddies with someone

I've been in an open relationship one time, don't think I would do it again.

I'm in an open relationship now, though granted that is primarily due to the distance. Having an open relationship helps me feel much more comfortable with my relationship. I know that doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but it's what works for me.

There was one man who got his feelings hurt, and I'm still not sure whether I should blame myself or not---he told me that he was okay with everything, repeatedly, but I could see that he was trying to fool himself. I let him be his own judge about when to leave, but he definitely tried to convince himself that he was okay for much longer than was necessary, and he wound up quite hurt. I feel really badly about the whole situation with him.
But for the other partners over the years---basically if you have the capacity to be honest with yourself, and you are a)not instinctively very jealous and b)able to discuss and work through any jealousy that does crop up in spite of your usual nature---lovely and enjoyable. less

I've had a few successful open relationships, that ended up being my best relationships because of how much communication they require.

I'm polyamorous, my relationship is somewhat open but still has distinct limits. My partners can do anything they like consensually with me or with each other, and we can all kiss, flirt with, and fool around with other people to a degree, but if we want to have sex with folks outside the triad that has to be discussed first.

It's nice if youre not looking for commitment.

I've been in both monogamous relationships and open relationships and personally I prefer open. I think monogamy is one of those things that works for some people but not for others.

I wouldn't be comfortable with that.
10/19/2012
nope
