13 53On the surface it seems like a perfect way to be in intimate relationships with may partners, but I believe in reality it would become a nightmare as people would become jealous. You may want to suggest to you partner that the two of you visit an adult resort where partner swapping is common to see how they react.
Open relationships are the best ones tbh
It's definitely easier if you make it clear in the beginning but I would think of a way to put the idea in his mind like an article or movie that puts it in a good light but isn't just about open relationships have it be the back story. Then maybe start a conversation about a topic that you can flow into the topic of open relationships but just touch on the subject without being obvious and just long enough to get a feel for his thoughts. Ultimately though you should already know if he's the jealous type or if he's uptight about relationships and roles in relationships
I always consider myself open to poly and non-mono. I dated someone who was and we always were okay with other relationships going while dating and sleeping with each other regularly. It went beyond a usual friends with benefits but love doesn't have one partner boundaries.
I dunno. I think I'd be too insecure for something like that. I need her to be mine (and ofc I'd be hers too).
never been in a poly relationship but the idea appeals to me if each are involved with every thing (who's involved , threesomes, other, etc)
Pretty much the moment they brought it up I would break up.
Not into that one bit.
am open to the idea, but would have to see/try it out to be sure either way. each partner is different in how they would react to it.
I'm not down for that. I don't share
This is why I am actually single because I love more than one person and they know I am that way.
I'd be open to discuss it then i would decline then I'd probably break up with her
It's not for me, I won't want that.
I am poly, so that’d be cool.
I'd dump her if she tried it.
Id prefer that.
Yeah open sounds like a great idea
Open the door so she gets the fuck outta my life lmao
I'd be open to try it out at least
Break up. Poly is for gays and if my girl thought i was gay she needs to gtfo. Having threesomes with girls is fine but the second a girl mentions another dick its over. That girl is trash and will never make a good relationship.
It ultimately depends on the two individuals. How strong is your relationship? One of you may have a lower sex drive than the other. I have two friends who have this circumstance. She has a massive sex drive, and he can go 3 times every 2 weeks at most. Sex just doesn't interest him. As a result, they allowed an open relationship under the condition that they both know the person that she will be having relations with, protection is always to be worn, she is on birth control, and she does not spend the night with them. It was explained to me by him " Why should I care? I cannot satisfy her, and if she can get it from someone else that I know, I am okay with it because at the end of night, I want her to be happy, she comes home and sleeps in my bed." An Open Relationship requires Love, understanding, and an immense amount of trust in your SO in order to make it succeed. They talked for an entire year about it before she actually did anything with another man.
I'd break up immediatly. It just screams "I want to cheat but I don't want to face the backlash so I'll just pretend I want to have a "polyamorous" relationship or "open" relationship", so I can cheat without any consequence".
If I'm not enough for her, she can leave and go fuck as many guys as she wants once I'm not a part of her life anymore.
