Polyamory and open relationships

I know it's not the social norm but why is it so far fetched to people that some couples operate well in these types of relationships? I've been both open and poly for years and we love each other and are committed to each other just the same.....

I agree with you and open relationships is best when you are forced to stick to your marriage life. However, if you find a right partner who goes above and beyond there is no necessity for another person.

If you find a correct partner, I am sure it’s hard to spend quality time with another person.

@Manprab "Stick to your marriage life?" Why get married at all if that is how you think? Marriage is a happy, committed union. It takes two. Be realistic in your choices. Communicate. Be honest.

@PoetryNEmotion in many developing countries people are forced to get marry someone behind many emotional blackmail. Honest is out of pictures here

@Manprab I am glad my country is developed then. Still I got involved too young and with someone with a lot of red flags. I stayed far too long. Unhappily. I divorced in my early fifties. I still believe in true love and I still search for mine.

@PoetryNEmotion Good luck with your search.

@Manprab Id argue if you find someone so perfect why would you not want to share their light?
