Would you be ok with your partner having sex with another person while you stayed faithful?

Everything is fair, or it's a no go.

I say it should be even regardless of what it is.

I couldn't do it, if my partner was free to sleep with others I would expect to have the choice to do the same.

As long as the partners have worked it out ahead of time, it is fine.

We're not in that kind of relationship so that would be a betrayal to me and my trust in him.

I'm totally fine with it, and that's how our relationship is now, though I wouldn't say she isn't being faithful to me. I just don't really have the desire to sleep with other people.

Yes, as long as I've met the person and approved of them.
However I've had bad experiences in the past loosing lovers this way but it shouldn't cause me to stop them from doing something that makes them happy; it's simply not my place. If they happen to feel the need to be with someone else if they come back to me in the end it's no big deal really.

I don't have a problem with it happening on principle, but wow, if that ever happened to me... I would not be able to do it! I feel like I'm a naturally polyamorous person and staying in a monogamous relationship is hard for me. If my partner were getting to be with other people and I wasn't, I think I probably wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

I am the person within my relationship who initially suggested a poly lifestyle. My girlfriend was averse to it, but after a couple experiences, some threesomes, etc., we agreed that as long as we had an open line of communication, this was something we could get into.

Oddly enough, she has since had a handful of sexual partners (never any ongoing, meaningful relationships) while I have remained faithful. It's not that I don't have the desire...I just don't want to take away from spending time with my girl to spend time with someone else. Add that to some self-image issues and it makes it a little difficult to make a true connection with someone.

I have to agree with XY!
Maybe if it happened I would think differently. But at the moment I'd like I be in an open relationship as well

While I admire the people that have the strength and understanding to make this work, it's not for me.

We either both have sex with others or stay monogamous with each other because we both have way too much jealousy for it to be "one-sided" like that. We've tried a couple times to include another partner and these were our conclusions.

In the right situation, yes. I am not poly, but I am involved with a poly-person. I support His ability to do so if we discussed it beforehand.

I have a problem with the word "faithful" in the question. If my wife has sex with someone and I don't, that doesn't make her unfaithful and me faithful. Because generally I'm still there with them either cuddling or watching. Or vice versa. If I'm having sex with someone and she doesn't participate, I'm not being unfaithful.
It'd be unfaithful if it was done behind each other's back and was either hidden or tried to be hidden. the unfaithfulness is in the lie, not the act.

"Unfaithful" is a strange word because it's so subjective. But yes, if I chose to stay monogamous, that's my choice. I'm not going to push that on my partner(s).
