eoprea: It is a horrible thing to do .. to have a an open marriage.. it destroys people's mind and souls....Mariage should be a sacred union of a man and woman based on love and respect....
Why is it horrible, how does it destroy a person's mind and soul?
Kristia49: No No, Whats the point of of having a relationship, you may as well just sleep around.
AMEN! thank you.
what is the purpose of getting married? I thought marriage is making a COMMITMENT TO ONE PERSON, if not don't get married!
nevica: So I think the best form of love is never marry, because you prove with it that you want a person for himself , not for that he owns.
An open relationship proves that a person really loves you because he or she is free and can have others but still stays with you for love, friendhip and emotional connection for a long time, maybe all your life.equiya: AMEN! thank you.

Naive people with broken marriages or never married here keep talking of the same thing, the ideal love.
They mix up a short period of being in love with a long lasting working relationship, which are almost non existent now and those that do last, last in 99% for other reasons than love.
Open relationship is formula for ever lasting love.

Marriage is an institution for committment to one person as in common-law also and not that I believe in that piece of paper anymore and I think marriage is archaic(outdated). I do not need that paper to be fully committed to that ONE person. JMHO

I agree, you also can just love a person with your soul and don't have to be commited .
love doesn't have to be a prison.
i see it as people who are afraid to commit..they have reasons tho...deficient to be sure...maybe they are afraid of failure...or have been marred by previous encounters...can you believe they argue so strongly that it is ok????who are they justifying it to?them or us??

thank you, drbombay
I can not trust anyone being in a relationship (marriage or not) with me and sleeping with other folks. what else is he doing with other folks that I may not know of?

It will be rather difficult,at the present time,the rest of the world,to come to terms,with Scandinavian style,"open relatioship".Open relationship is formula for ever lasting love.

that's the point with an open relationship, you KNOW what he is doing because he tells you.I can not trust anyone being in a relationship (marriage or not) with me and sleeping with other folks. what else is he doing with other folks that I may not know of?

maybe in Sweden but not in north America. I know people who claim to be in open relationships, they only tell their spouse/partner when they are going out or going out with someone. they DON'T talk of what they did with him/her.
I have never been married but i still believe in committment and the instituition of marriage
I saw how things worked for my parents, they were married for 30 years until my dad died

If you speak about me I may be deficent in some way but never had a problem to have long lasting relationships. I have had traditional and open relationships and can compare from my own experience.I have no fear for commitment and had it when I believed in it, but now i see no point in it any longer.
i argree with the ebony babe...

My parents too were married over 30 years, but it was different times and attitudes and there is no way back there. Anyway it's so strange that so many here seem to want and believe inthe same thing and still stay alone waiting indefinitely for a dream. and when they finally meet someone they think is right it only lasts in average 6 years and then you have to do all over again.

becoz your prime is past maybe...and you dont know what real commitment is...i was not speaking of u but in general terms...everything is not about you...another misconception you have...I have no fear for commitment and had it when I believed in it, but now i see no point in it any longer.
commitment is a big deal with me..i have talked to several women here becoz everyone i have chatted seems non commital even one i chatted to on a dialy basis...she groups me with woman beaters and says i am just like her ex...
hell no
nevica: I agree, you also can just love a person with your soul and don't have to be commited .
love doesn't have to be a prison.
I agree to a certain extent but I was not implying that someone should be a victim of love as being imprisoned. I just meant that committment should be to one person & again JMO.love doesn't have to be a prison.
I hope you did not take your pic off & delete your account over this issue of opinions for you are still entitled to that as well as others.
she didn't...she hides when not online...
marss: she didn't...she hides when not online...
i use to chat with her but i saw her mind was closed in some areas...she said i insulted her and maybe it did...she aint worth losing sleep over tho...

I would never lose sleep over anyone here but try to be as civil as I can for whatever that's worth-I have my moments of doubt & pain(symphony for the devil)...
If the title of this poll stated "Do you believe in having an open relationship (sleeping with other partners)" I'd have an easier time digesting the concept. Personally, I hold the sanctity of marriage to it's true meaning, as old fashioned as it may seem. I've been in two long term relationships one of which was a ten year marriage and dating 4 years prior. Neither one of us had the desire to find fresh meat out of boredom because we always tried something new and exciting. We parted ways for reasons other than infidelity...yes, believe it or not this happens. In some cultures, the sanctity of marriage as I know it, is totally different. To each his/her own, but I'm a one man woman looking for a one woman man as stated in my profile.
Hahaha U sound like my ex bf, want to hook up? U can say what u like anytime u want about me but the answer is still No. It would be double hell no to u but hey we r all intitled to our opinions even if some stink worse then other's. O and I am sure I would have bought the house anyway 
so of course I am gonna get it. I am gonna have an open cs relationship with u, just so I can compare penises and taunt u with it
