Do you think you could handle and open relationship?

Many people fantasize about this but they still have jealousy issues and fears. Do you think you could do it?

Lol, that's always an option.
@CrazyCatLady: It is my option till I have a one on one relationship with someone.😊

@BemyValentine: Yeah, I think people should learn to talk about what they want so cheating doesn't happen.

If you are open with your partner, they will feel confident to tell you when their needs have changed and the relationship can either change or end.
@CrazyCatLady: Oh I agree,hon. Communication is a def in any relationship. Without that, forget about the rest!
@CrazyCatLady: Open relationships are not cheating ones. People are thinking they are the same thing. They don't know even.

Some people don't have open relationships because they are afraid to be judged.
But what's wrong if both partners agree and set their rules.
I basically wanted to see how people react to diversity. One thing is not to share it, and other is to satanize the idea.

I think when two people decide to have a relationship they can definitely set their own rules and it shouldn't matter what the taboos are, as long as all the involved agree on the terms

@PoetryNEmotion: Exactly. A lot of misinformation.
@CrazyCatLady: Nothing wrong with them. It was my idea in the first place. He was fine with it. I was married and in a sexless relationship for a long time. I have a high sex drive. So it seemed natural. People tend to attack others for being different than what society says is the norm. Many here will say no way. Yet many do not understand exactly what an open relationship is. A few will be enlightened and say sure, okay. People care too much what other say. That is why people are so repressed. I was monogamous in my marriage. I decided on an open relationship when I met my present partner several years after divorcing the ex. I dated for a bit. Then I decided. It suits us fine. And I don't care what anyone says. We are happy and committed to one another. I am confident too. A good question.
