What's your take on open marriages ?
To continue to love someone outside marriage requires an ability to compartmentalise emotions, which perhaps eludes most people.

Open marriages if dealt with responsibility then do last for life-long (though there are hardly any examples of life-long couples with open-marriage). Most of the time, an open-marriage ruins one's life. At the end, one has no one to talk to!...Thus, a couple should analyze every aspect of open marriage and then only should take the decision!...Rest, it's always one's choice!...☺

@BRICSruleNATOiscrybaby The biases and prejudices against such relationships are global and should we be more open and accepting? My personal opinion is that it is neither my business or concern as to how many sexual partners anyone has at any one point of time, and we can be genuinely more accepting of how adults organise their relationships, provided there is honesty and equality in their relationships.

@SW-User Well said mademoiselle!...I agree!...☺
Trust me, gradually society is moving to a point where marriage will be utterly pointless. People will simply cherish sexual relations and the population of the planet will begin to deteriorate drastically!...Humans will be raised in an environment that no one ever though of!
A married couple then would be an astonishment for the rest!...This is simply a thought but taking into consideration the diminishing love and respect for an individual, it seems that we are not far away from the world that I spoke of!...I might be wrong but every scientific aspect or analysis does seem to be a false assumption at the beginning!...It becomes true only after ages!...Also, I am not a scientist!...lol...☺

@BRICSruleNATOiscrybaby I too wish that this happens one day and people can live without the fear of being cheated .
Love — based on narratives, facts and figures — while open marriages are certainly on the rise, treading that ground is treacherous. Social taboos against divorce, societal construct, family norms and the “tribe” mentality that we still live with make the concept of open marriage a risky fantastical dream than a reality for many.

@SW-User I am sorry mademoiselle!...I beg to differ here!...Such a society may look good for a while but gradually there will come a day when humans will understand the importance of true love and respect for an individual. I am not against open marriages at all, it's utterly a couple's choice but I definitely cannot be in one!...☺

@BRICSruleNATOiscrybaby I understand . It is hard for someone conservative to fathom the dimensions of polyamory. For many people, though, polyamory is not curious at all — it’s just another way of organising life and love.
