A lot of people have said it's better to have an open relationship where you are free to date / sleep with other men/women whilst still continuing to see each other.

Personally, it's not for me, but how do you feel about it?

well i think that that is not a relationship, more of a friend with benefits ,a relationship is a commitment to one another

I think singles who have open relationships are not wanting the responsibility of a relationship with just one person, and they get bored Easey and always seeking the next buzz but its like saying tommorrow and tommorrow never comes.

I know a man that I saw awhile back but he will never settle again with just one woman,,he treats a woman well when he is with her but he is honest in that he says he never wants a relationship again,,,I Don't need a friend with benefits it's goodbyes to him.

The player likes to call the shots and one can only be used if one puts themselves in this position,,,if one person is not happy with the set up then what's the point in being just a friend with benefits if that's not truly making you feel content it will only make one miserable in the long run,,.thats why I think honesty. Is always the way to go so one knows where one stands,

What dosnt suit you may suit another and what suits you will suit another,,like attracts like.

yea i agree with what u say but thats ok when both party,s are honest...

normally players are not so honest and pretend to be what the other person is looking for until they get what they want and then you never hear from them again.

hence one person normally gets hurt and feels used

Yes of course the player is very clever at this and making moves on vunerable souls, but if one keeps seeing the player thinking he going to change because he or she is the exception to his rule its only kidding oneself,

I think most people can tell if a person is a player after awhile and sometimes people don't want to see the sighns because they might just be delighted to have his or her company at any cost,,..

I suppose it's about each person experiencing things for themselves and hopefully choosing what they feel is right for them in the future,

I wouldn't be taken in by a man that comes across all sweet like too good to be true and gushing and charming the birds out of the treetops,laugh ..handshake

Nope. Not for me. I'm way too possessive for that. lol

I often see lads thinking it's a great thing..... until you ask them how they feel about their open relationship-partner using the 'open' excuse to hop up on his friend, or his colleagues or anyone. Normally gets lads thinking. grin There's 2 sides to the 'open' coin.

If in a relationship and the partner suggest an open relationship, The writing is on the wall,

Something is not working like it used to with the two of you,, or simply he or she is suddenly getting fancy ideas in their head,,could be they felt trapped before and suddenly want to experience what it's like to feel free.,

I think when something is dead it's dead and sometimes people try to make it better but it's like whipping a dead horse,

Maybe some people with open relationships say it makes them stronger as a couple,

Each to their own,,personally I'd hate an open relationship,.And it must be tough on a partner when the other suggests it,

If your single and the guy or woman says they want to see others also,,it could mean they just not into you but your a handy person to have around but they aren't putting all their eggs in the basket,,till they meet the one,

They want to spend their life with,


Some just dont want to settle with just one person they don't want to feel tied down ,don't want the responsibility and commitment.
Each to their own.

If you are going through your pub/club/partying phase and just out enjoying yourself getting off with loads of different women, then fair enough. BUT if you are officially seeing some, in a relationship and you both acknowledge it is a relationship, then seeing other people is cheating.

dunno
