what are you thinking about " open relationship" .. Personnaly, i'm not agree with that ...
alexray saidPersonnaly, i'm not agree with that ...
Hatter saidYeah... I don't think it's something I could do, but to each his own.
It REALLY threw me off in my first relationship that I'd even have to make a point to say that we'd be exclusive when we were dating.
That was a rough week when I found that out
tony_boost saidwhen i first started dating, I would get really upset if the guy i was with even checked another guy out, even if it was in a movie we were watching, but i've learned that open relationships are possible, and can be a lot healthier than closed relationships. Sex is a physical need, sure its better when its with someone you love, but we're all going to be attracted to more than one person throughout our lives, and to pretend not to is denial of our physical needs. Loving someone means that if that person were to suddenly leave your life, you would be affected, love isn't really about sex and almost belittles love when people equate it to just sex

I disagree with the part I highlighted red in your quote.
That is where the phrase "Controlling your desires" comes into play.
Successful relationships (From what I have seen so far), work only if the two people know their limits and control their desires.
Yes, you will probably think about other men with your spouse... HOWEVER, as long as you don't act upon that thought then you are fine.

That's exactly what i'm talking about, how many couples cheat on each other or are miserable and bored in their relationship solely because of sex? Loving someone means you care for them and want the best for them, i've never heard anybody define love as sex with one person for the rest of your life and only one person, as this is mostly an irrational and unrealistic goal for 98% of people

You guys hit it right on the dot. Open relationships are like i like you emotionally and we do it every now and then. But we each like to see other people too. Its an arrangement for people who haven't figured out how monogamy can work in their relationship.
massbuildah saidI think different people can adhere to different parameters. "Normal" types of relationships may be too constricting for some people, while others thrive on that. Relationships aren't always easy to maintain in the long run and congratulations to those that thrive in either!
In a perfect world, we'll find someone with whom we are compatible and communication will come very easily. In that communication we'll discover how we want to maintain that relationship, whether it be open or closed. When there is love, repsect and communication and both parties agree then any type of arrangement is possible.
