Hmmm, that doesn't sound right to me... Keeping your options open mean your long term relationship isn't a long term material but you have it because it's convenient, right? If you want to keep your options open better be single...or have an open type relationship...
DeeLite67: Do you think it’s alright to be in a long term relationship but still use online dating sites?
Is this cheating or just keeping your options open??
if someone is in a fulfilling happy relationship, they won't even think of joining a dating site. If they do, they should be having a long hard look at their present relationship.
I know some people come on here for the blogs and forums as they like to interact with people they got friendly with prior to their relationship. That is different to actively searching on a one to one basis.

Strangely enough I have seen people who meated through a dating site and are deeply in love, but both are still on the dating site. (Not on CS).
I wish there was an App, that when you walk on the streets and your partner to be, whom you do not know yet, but who's walking in your neighbourhood, and you yourself get a sign from your phone.
Both side must know and accept without lie to each other as same as..third person who need to involve their relationship must inform properly ...what he or she expect to be as that..

It would make things less complex I think.
I wish there was an app that when an illegal alien or an economic migrant walks by me, my phone gives me a sign that ICE, (U.S., Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has been notified.

You’re in a long term relationship but still using online dating sites, it’s wrong unless there are forums on the sites and you’re only here for that reason

There was one called McCarthyism, but decent people realised it was wrong
Are you in an open relationship? Does your partner know you are using dating sites/apps? Is your intent to meet someone else and "see how it goes"?
The big one for me is, if your partner doesn't know (the only reason not to tell them is your intent, which seems to be to find someone "better"), therefore they cannot make an informed choice to ask you to stop (or indeed confess that they want an open relationship too), it is cheating.
If you are working hard to hide what you are doing, and know what you are doing would upset your partner... You are cheating on them.... Out of a choice if nothing else.

Initially people seem to stay on them as they are still only testing the waters with someone...so for that reason I wouldn't mind...but once a relationship is established I'd expect them not to be on one...as I wouldn't.
