Do you think open relationships between people are good or bad? Somewhere in between? Moral or immoral? Why or why not?

Open Relationships are just like anyther relationship ... Only that it is yet to gain full acceptance from certain societies ... It's all about commitment , Sharing and Caring . Unless one cannot fulfill these , Those relationships won't last long !! There is no good or bad things to write about or have opinion of...

I think that it depends on the individuals involved in these types of relationships. I think that if this is the type of relationships that both individuals want, then I don't really see what the problem is. I think that open relationships can work, if both individuals agree to this.

Personally, I cannot think of any good that could come from an open relationship in the long-run. I feel that a relationship like that would cause more jealousy issues and overall problems than it would be worth. In my opinion, a relationship takes enough hard work and dedication when it is between two people, bringing others into it would only complicate matters and create problems. If two people really love each other and want to spend their lives together, they should be happy to be together and not desire intimacy with others.

I don't think there is much wrong with an open relationship as long as both parties are aware of their feelings. It can really be a disaster for the two people if one starts to have more feelings for the other.

Open relationships are only for people who aren't committed to one person only. I know certain married people who still openly go on virtual dates. Creepy, really and I see no good reason why they should.

In my opinion is bad because when you are with a partner and you and he are faithful feel good, one reason is because in an open relationship have risks of diseases.....

Open relationships are only good if both parties were too promiscuous to stay with one partner, in that way there will be less jealousy. I think it only works for people who were too modern or liveral.
