open marriage?

I would never do it but I can see how it would work for some people. I think I am too jealous a person to share my partner but others who are more accepting of this and don't necessarily believe monogamy is the way to go might be okay with it. I think it satisfies people's needs to sleep with someone else without feeling guilt or threatened their partner will have an affair they don't know about.

I personally would never engage in an open marriage. I feel that when you make the decision to get married you are making a commitment with your spouse to be with only them. An open marriage would never work with me, however, it seems to work for some people.

Hi, pchickk17! I absoulutely do not condone open marriage in any way. I can see no benefits from it. Not only is it morally reprehensible, it is physically dangerous (higher increase of STDs and Aids) and not to mention what it does to your emotional well being. Marriage should be an exclusive bond of love and trust between two people. If someone wants to be in an "open" relationship, I can't understand why they would want to get married at all. Being in an open marriage, let alone an open relationship is something I could never do.

Not to be to blunt but i would say no. i am sorry but you know i have actually seen this in life. It sounds like a fun thing to do at first but humans just seem to have to many emotions to put up with it. But if you believe it is something you can handle as a married person as a person with no jealousy as a person who feels it is something they can do in real life and not just talk. there are ways to go about "trying" it before you do it. hope i helped.
