Open relationships (118)
mollybaby: It always amazes me how people are so interested, and judgemental, about how other people live their lives.
If they looked after their own, and examined it just as forensically, the world would be a better place

Problem with that is, they might have to realise their own faults and maybe deal with them. Much easier to point fingers at others and meddle in their affairs.

RosePetals69: Can they and do they actually work?
work??? can they??? do they???
what...for 15 minutes an hour two all night a week a month a year
a lifetime???
do i really give a rats behind???
is this an international dating/chat open forum of adults??? do people have opinions that are different than yours???
to the point of insinuating each of us are "dickheads"....or judgemental
for ME!!!! i DON'T give a rats behind what you do... i've said it before but i will say it again, I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN SHORTCOMINGS
take your pick....God, organized religion, or society in general...open relationships are considered taboo...
i didn't make the rules and will NEVER be the one to throw the first stone...

RosePetals69: Can they and do they actually work?
oh, I don't know--I once knew a couple who believed in "Open Marriage"--had all the books and tapes (it was the '70's)--she had a busy career that included frequent travel, knew big time men, etc..., her husband had a steady gal pal who was over a lot. They were both, in the end, jealous even though they were both doing it. Go figure....(ended in divorce) People say they're OK with something, even embrace it, but when the rubber hits the road, it's a different story. no pun intended, so don't start!!

Lots of things were considered taboo throughout history, but aren't anymore. The world has evolved, and these supposed rules really don't apply in general anymore. Some day people will realise that, and the world will be a better place for it.

S'ok, I'm not trying to talk you into anything.
Although, if you take a look at the world without any bias, you'll see that I'm right.

I don't see it that way, and no, no rose coloured glasses either.
I agree, it does boil down to choice, and having the freedom to make those choices, without interference from anyone or anything. I do see religion attempting to curtail the freedom to make choices, and occasionally society as well. That is becoming less of an issue though, every day people discover that they don't need the approval or blessings from anyone to live life the way they want. We live in secular countries, and maybe, just maybe some day even the religious countries like Iran will enjoy the same freedoms we do. I can't see us going backwards anytime soon, too much has been fought for to let it all go now.

CaymanLover: I would think most would fail at some point. One of the parties tends to get attached and want more than the other is willing or prepared to give.
I guess some do make it but it definitely would not be for me. The commitment is one angle of this but the next is the safety. They could contract something and pass it.
Commitment brings benefits of a degree of safety with it.
The next angle is what about other partners and how they feel about it let alone you and her/him.
To me its too complex and creates too many issues.

What's wrong with wanting more?

and it is God, organized religion and society that have laid out the guidelines of what is accepted...
the choice is to say....F God, F religion and F society and " do it my way" frank sinatra lol

I don't see people ignoring their consciences.
I also don't see it as any god or religion having laid out rules on how we should live. Some may believe that, but civilisation and morality have been around long before the god of Abraham or Jesus were invented. So were different types of relationships that you may not see as being the norm.
Many people have fought and died for us to have the freedom to have and make choices. It's not a choice for me to not believe in a god, or follow a religion, I simply don't. So why would I want to live my life according to someone else's beliefs? Why should anyone? Do you follow the way(s) of Islam?

RosePetals69: Can they and do they actually work?
I think they can function for a brief time but I have never seen any work for the longer term. Someone usually ends up hurt, but that can happen in any relationship. I think both or all parties have to have the mindset for it. I know I do not share my partner well and am not going to change in that aspect..so I don't go there as far as an open relationship, nor would I date someone who felt it acceptable.
It makes me think of those weird cults where some guy has a bunch of wives and eventually gets arrested for something weird lol

No. What is the point then in being in a "relationship". Unless you are a few women married to one man - that can work. But women screwing anything and everything? No thanks. Stay single then. I think it's gross actually. Basically just human plumbing. Yuck.

you don't see people igroring their consciences...you should come to LA
they have parades...lol you also "choose" not to see rules that God has laid out for you and all of us because you don't believe He exists...again "choice"
its not rose colored glasses your wearing...its blinders "choice"
wether you believe it or not the majority of society believe there is a God and try to follow His rules...wether it is the God of Islam or what some refer to as a "Higher Power"..."choice"
if you choose to not make a choice...you still have made a choice
if you or anyone else want to live their lives putting another notch on their bedpost or in an open relationship that is their "choice"...

If they looked after their own, and examined it just as forensically, the world would be a better place
