  :male:do they really work out? :-

I haven't had much success with them. Most people expect women to have a problem with them, but the guys I have dated have had the problem, not me.

I want to know why you would even bother being in a relationship if you can't remain faithful to that one person

An open relationship is like just having a friend with benefits, why call it a relationship at all???

[ninajay]

I don't see the point in open relationships. It wouldn't work for me at all.

I can't see why you would want anopen relationship. either you want to be with someone or not. If not then go on down the road.

I think an open relationship is great for people who don't want the limitations of a monogamous commitment.

Personally...I don't need a marriage certificate but I like being able to bond with a man who makes me a priority for a certain phase of our lives.  That way...we learn to love, trust and respect each other.

I also believe it's important to be socially diversified but the friendships could be platonic.

Smh. Why be open? If I am in a relationship, I am with only one other person. An open relationship could inspire jealously and mistrust. Stay together and don't end up forever alone. Stay and play.

That would be just asking for trouble...sometime down the road!

If you want an open relationship, just stay single. Why add that stress to your life?

I am not personally in favor of that type of relationship.  They might as well just be friends with benefits because the sexual part of the relationship is clearly the only important thing going on.
