Open Relationships

[Empired]

I was reading an article about a girl who was in a relationship with a guy who had a fiancee (both of the girls knew about each other) and how she thought she'd be ok with it but basically ended up freaking out and having to break it off so I thought I'd ask HxF

What do you think of open relationships/polygamy? Could you ever date someone in/could you ever have multiple romantic relationships?

I can't work out if I'd be ok with it or not. I feel like I would be now but I'm not sure I could cope if I started to get too deeply involved. But idk I can't think what it would actually be like so I could be completely wrong.

Just as a note this is nothing to do with cheating - everyone involved should know about everyone else

Personally, I don't think that I could cope with 'sharing' a relationship, but that's not to say I don't disagree with it. I just think I'm a bit too jealous to handle that sort of commitment

No I hate sharing.


If you got bored and decided to start hooking up with people is that classed an open relationship or is that just cheating?

An open relationship is where BOTH people agree that each may have sexual relations with someone else. If only one agrees to it, then its cheating.

Depends if your partner was aware and ok with you hooking up with other people
if not
then that's cheating

Definitely couldn't do it, I feel sick at the thought of my guy even kissing another girl nevermind being in a full relationship

I think if you can cope with being in an open relationship to begin with then you're not with the person you're gonna end up with forever

I disagree; I have a couple of acquaintances who just don't understand how you could stick with one person forever? Idk I didn't really understand it but I think it's probably different for different situations as well.

Like if I was in a relationship and my partner said "Hey I think we should see other people too" then I would be furious wtf but if I met someone and they said "I'm already in an open relationship u ok with that" then it would be different

it's scummy

i could never do it anyway i haven't even got the effort that would be required for one relationship let alone two

If both parties agree in a legally binding document, then sure. Honestly, I can't say I've been or will ever be presented with the situation so I've never thought about it, but probably not.

No never if someone wants more than one person in the relationship then they weren't happy with the person they were originally with...
