Open relationship

Has any of you ever heard about "open relationship" or maybe have been in one?

What is or how would you define an "open relationship" and how do you feel and think about it?

I have met some couples, cheated on each other and pretend they don't know, or try hiding it from each other, as well as couple in an open relationship in which they know allow their partner to meet someone else as long as it's not gonna break theirs. So they set up some rules, which suit their need.

To some extend I understand and even respect them. At least this way no one is lying to each other hence no one is cheating from anyone.

Would you care share your opinion.

I agree with Ed. Especially for ladies, not like guys, you would lose your beauty faster than guys, if you enter this kind of relationship, the family value will not be strong from the first place.
I don't get open relationships. ..is that not called dating ??
according to me.
its very easy to explain and give permission for open relationship until its effect our lives(ours partners or we can say our partners).but its mentally harm when we go trough that or come to know about that..because its human mentality we couldn't accept to share our love(partner to whom we love) with anyone else.

if you value your relationship love & care.

open relationship?? like you explain here..?? is it almost same meaning with "friend in benefit" ? but it is opened.. the partner knows that each other have "the others". wow.... never happen to me.
I was in an open relationship. Maybe it works for some but in my case it only meant he slept with everyone who could not get up the tree fast enough while I sat on the sideline waiting for him to be available. It did not take me long to figure it out so it was a fairly short relationship.
Like communism, open relationship, is rather an advanced concept....bears a real meaning only if the two persons involved in.....are accordingly reformed.
And which one do you prefer, saras? Or both is fine with you?
I dont think I can stand and keep the relationship even if my partner HONESTLY say "honey, I am going to my other partner. You can just go to any of your partner. We'll meet tomorrow, ok sweetheart!"
For me, it is a BIG no no no..!
I will throw this out with experience in all worlds. I prefer committed relationships with honest people. Two becoming one, all that.
When you're not a happy camper, it's better to take a break saravathy. hug

At some stage you might run into someone who maybe changes your mind. Nothing wrong with enjoying your life on your own. wine
I never entered an open relationship seeking an open relationship. I just started dating someone and one agreement led to another and a framework was built and we rolled in that, both times. Later and wiser I only sought committed relationships.
Knenagh, yeah I'm happy being on my own at the moment, until I find one who can change my mind I guess hug

Ken, I think at the end of the day we will choose to do things we can afford to live the consequences with. None is easier than the other. Being committed (exclusively) is not easy as well as being in an open (committed) one (I think open relationship is also a commitment). Each has its consequences.
