Being in an Open Relationship is really stupid...

I guess i have never really understood the concept of an open relationship. It just seems like you are giving yourself and your partner the green light to cheat on each other.

Why are u disappointed? Being in an open relationship means that u are not committed to someone else, that's why u open yourself to anyone who might get interest with you.

This is really funny,how can someone be into an open relationship when they are still attached with someone. Or maybe they're not already in a relationship that is why they say they're on an open relationship,as if saying...they are ready to have a new relationship. have a great day

i agree with you there patricia most people dont take relationships seriously.the whole love thing thing itself is so rare..despite it being easy to say many people dont even know what it is. your discussion is just one of the reasons why i dont bother in relationships.. ppl enjoy messing with other peoples emotions and i dont have the patience or time for such junk. the whole open relationship thing is bull.. XD

I couldn't agree with you more. Sadly though we live in a world where most if not all people live a life with low moral standards. I guess it all depends on how you were raised. I was raised to believe that you get married once & thats it. No divorce. I don't believe in any such foolish nonsense as this "open relationship" bull. My heart as well as the rest of me belongs to my husband & my husband only. I would never even consider being with any one else. Thats called commitment people, but more importantly it's called love!!

Just because a relationship is different from what you approve of doesn't make it a bad thing.It's really none of your business what concenting adults decide to do in thier relationships. who are you to judge?

Yes you definitely should stay with one partner or you could end up losing them. I read a magazine story this week about a couple that decided to swing. It ended tragically with the man taking his life. He was very depressed because he felt he had lost his wife. If you love someone then you should only ever want to be with them.

I completely agree with you. You are either with a person or you are not. To me there is no in between. Being in a relationship to me means being with one single person that you are in love with and that you are faithful too. What is the point in saying that you are with someone, but still being with other people? It just seriously makes absolutely no sense to me what so ever. It is disappointing when people do this, because it makes them seem like they have no integrity to themselves, or to others. Having an "open relationship" to me means that you truly don't love the person you are saying you are "in" a relationship with. So once again, if you don't love the person then don't say you are in a relationship at all, they should just say that they have relations and leave it at that.

I agree with you. In my opinion, people doing open relationship do not really understand about life management. They don't have mission (what to do) and vision (what to be). If you allow more than one person to go together with you, then you will risk your head exploded because you must handle so many ways of thinking. Besides, your heart can only be taken by one person. PS: Have you ever seen any kind of romantic movies ending with a person with more than 1 counterpart?

An open relationship is really no relationship at all. It's just fun and games. So the real question is: Want a relationship or just want to play??? Love can be a sticky thing. Someone usually gets hurt when people play games. Is that really worth it??

You can say that again! Furthermore, it gives an impression on the person that he is a sore player! What would his present girl feel if she sees her guy's status in FB that he is in an open relationship???!! What do you take me for then????!!!

Well hard to say that i agree with you but i think that what you are saying is actually true. True love is hard to get these days. Boys and also girls are throwing away the 3 words around like they mean nothing. People should know the real meaning behind the words. Well if that's how you meant then i guess every first relationship would be a successful one but sad to say it isn't so. Cheers!
