You think it's better to have an open marriage or a traditional one while cheating on your spouse

I don't fully understand the whole concept as well. I think it's about people who like each other but feel like they have the necessity to have sex with people outside the relationship. I think a lot of people end up being hurt but we'll, seems like that's how it works.

I don't know...that would be hard to fathom with me. I came close to swinging and even then that was really hard to fathom

I guess it's not supposed to go anywhere.. Other than bed! Just sex outside your marriage....so the person your bonking needs to be told that's all it is! X

@JarJarBoom: The relationship with the other person may or may not go anywhere--that depends on how the couple has set up their rules. Each couple defines the relationship based on what works for them.


@MrMarcus: The couple doesn't necessarily need to have sex with other people. It's usually just something they enjoy. But people have open marriages for all sorts of reasons--wildly differing sex drives, enjoyment of group activities, medical reasons, husband's infertility, opportunity for one partner to enjoy activities the other doesn't like...

An open relationship takes far more communication and trust than a monogamous one, to keep everyone on the same page. It's definitely not for everyone.
