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?

I used to think, "wouldn't it be great to be in a open relationship!" The it dawned on me, wait a minute I don't think I could handle other men coming on to my wife.

Yeah, it's tricky.

Or what if she discovered that she liked them better than you - either physically or as emotional attachment.
Hawnheart · 61-69
That would make the relationship wide open then.

Or maybe end it... especially if you did not react well to other men coming on to her; or her interest/enthusiasm at seeing other men. When her eyes get really shiny and sparkly, and that smile when looking forward to that next date.

Cute, you do realize it's all hypothetical.

LOL - yes it is. For you perhaps. But the discussion in general still holds. Many may wish for, then one day they find out they now have what they asked/wished for. Only it may not be what they thought.

A EP friend's husband pestered her for a very long time. She finally said ok. He thought it was hot, sexy and wonderful. Until she got really excited in anticipation of seeing another man. All of a sudden he decided it wasn't as hot and sexy as he thought. The question became, did she want to stop....

Once you open the door, it's not always one that can be closed. What do they say - be careful of what you ask for?

Exactly, be careful what you wish for.
