Doesn't an open marriage defeat the point of a marriage?

I mean, if you're too weak-willed to make an honourable commitment and you're unable to control your base instincts then why bother with some silly half measure? Why make a show of depth and meaning to an otherwise hollow relationship?

Speaking for myself, I would have to say no. For others? Who cares so long as everyone knows what they're getting into. If no one gets hurt, why not?

nevica: that's a completely different thing when one of the partners knows that another is cheating, grits his or her teeth and stands the situation for different reasons. In an open relationship people know each other and love each other and feel safe in this love knowing that some adventure on the side will not destroy it. it's love on a deeper level, love to a person and a human being. people either enter a relationship with the iqual ideas or start having an open relationship as a spice when their infatuation starts to fade away. it's a mutual decision, no cheating involved. in the ideal world people should be love with each other forever, in real life an average marriage lasts 6 years. when the initial infatuation is gone people tend to start all over igain believing this time it will be different, so naive and shallow.
of course, there are exceptions of the rules, when people have to stay together for the religious purpose or are very unattractive or shy, so they have no other choice, those can be true forever. Those people who have no problem to find a partner normally replace him or her as soon as "love" is gone, with a new "love".


So basically you are saying that couples that stay together for a lifetime without ever having "adventures" with other people it´s because they are ugly or too shy and has nothing to do with their choice or respect and love for their partner.

Furthermore, if I follow your line of reasoning and as you say people who have no problem to find a partner would replace him/her as soon as love is gone (even though they´re in a relationship), that means that people who are currently single and haven´t replaced their last partner with anyone, the only reason for still being single would be because they´re ugly or too shy.

How very arrogant of you to make such judgements.









PS. I´ve been single for 2 years ... not even a kiss or a fondle ... Must be because I´m ugly or too shy crying

I went out last night on a date, hoping we might have something in common or chemistry or whatever it may be. My profile says I'm looking for nothing serious, just fun and maybe to hang out right? It also says no "involved" or married men. So - out on the date and we get talking. Turns out he has a wife and child in Bulgaria! WTF?

Oh and this is the kicker-they are in an open relationship!. She doesn't mind and hasn't from the beginning that he sleeps with other women.

a) just how could I verify this with her b) what is the frickin point of being married. If you want to sleep with other people that's ok.mjust don't be married or involved.

So thanks for the coffee but no thanks to anything else.

As having been the "victim" of a cheater I could never be part of hurting someone else that way. It was soul crushing for me. Still haven't gotten over it. Trying to but I keep meeting cheaters. Are there any men with honesty and integrity out there?

Tell me - I don't understand. What is the point of an open marriage? I don't get it? And having integrity doesn't make me narrow minded

I don't believe in marriage anymore either. But I do believe in having a commitment to someone you care about. But I am starting to believe men aren't capable of such commitment.

Then, what is the point of being married if you are going to be sleeping with other people. In that case you might be better of unmarried.

What's the point in marriage? Either way it's about how people choose to live their life, and people shouldbe free to live how they see fit, without being judged for it.

Where did I say anything about having integity being narrow minded? dunno

I would never condone cheating, it's dishonest, decietful, and breaches another's trust. I don't understand how people can do things like to someone they claim to care for, and about. It's just plain wrong.

Are you looking for a commitment from a man, or ownership of a man? laugh Huge difference, but most people don't get it.

I don't think I've ever believed in marriage, open or otherwise, but I have no issues with commitment.
