You have a Girlfriend/Boyfriend should you be able to have more than one?

I think that some people are monogamous and other people aren't. I think that certain individuals are perfectly capable of having an open relationship that works. However, it definitely isn't for everybody! I definitely think it is wrong to see other people behind your boyfriend or girlfriend's back. However, if you are in a serious relationship with someone and you both agree that it is ok to see other people and are open and honest with each other about it, then that is ok if it works for you. Some people just can't handle monogamy. They can fall in love with one individual and want to spend the rest of their lives with that person, however they don't want to spend the rest of their life with just that one person. I actually know a married couple who have been married for years and years and are very much in love. Besides his wife, he also has a serious girlfriend that he's been seeing for awhile. And he has one night stands with other women every now and then. His wife knows about his girlfriend and the other girls he sleeps with, and she has no problems with it at all. She knows he loves her, he just wants to be with other women as well. Her only rules is that he be safe so he doesn't bring home any STDs! Not everyone can handle this type of relationship, but it works for them and they are both very happy. I personally am in a monogamous relationship. I'm only dating my boyfriend, and he's only dating me. We are both very much in love, and are in a happy and healthy relationship. That is what works for us. I am very open minded to other types of relationships and could never judge someone for the type of lifestyle they live or the type of relationship they chose to be in. However, it is very important to be honest. You shouldn't lie or cheat. And at the same time, if your partner suggests an open relationship where you see other people if you are not comfortable with that, then say so! Don't agree to be in a relationship you aren't comfortable with just to make your partner happy!

You are defining girl/boyfriend as partners or lovers. In that case I agree - one at a time. I define a girlfriend as a friend who is a girl. As such I have had many girlfriends at the same time and they have also had other boyfriends as well. We are all friends and that is a good thing.

Well, if you are in a serious relationship then I think then you should not be thinking of other partner. As for me, for me I am single as of now, but whenever in serious relationship theres' no chance of extras.

Yeah, I agree with you, I just can not stand one have more than one boyfriend or girlfriend at the same time. That's not acceptable and life will go to a mess. If one of my friends has more than one, I will ask him or her to choose in order not to hurt other people' feelings.That's what I think. Thanks for starting a nice topic and good luck.

I agree with you personally.. because for me one must only be committed to one person at a time.. more than that is cheating for me.. Cheaters should put their self on the cheated shoes.. How will you feel when you found out that your partner has 2 partners or more?? For me it's definitely unacceptable. I mean I am here to love only you so how can you love two?? =)

I think if you are in an "exclusive" relationship and you have both agreed to this then no you be have one.more than one would be cheating, or being dishonest with what you have agreed on.
