do open relationship work?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Why couldn't they work? It just takes open honesty, trust and communication. Also the couple should discuss rules and boundaries, what is acceptable and not acceptable, etc.
I was in a swinging relationship with my last partner. It was a somewhat open relationship though not fully. We had some teething problems at the start but through good communication managed to adapt and adjust and we found that it vastly improved our relationship. |

Works well for us.Neither of us actively go out looking for fun, but if the opportunity arises, we both have permission to have fun.But then most times we are out without the other, we would be with mutual friends or people who we definitely wouldn't like to know we have fun without each other.
It takes away the whole cheating possibility too. And we both love hearing dirty details later |! |

How could it work because no matter what way you put it someone is cheating on the other.I know people will say it's with the others consent (still cheating) |

How is someone cheating on the other?
Here's the dictionary definition for the word cheat:
Cheat[cheet]
verb (used with object)
to defraud; swindle:
He cheated her out of her inheritance.
to deceive; influence by fraud:
He cheated us into believing him a hero.
verb (used without object)
to practice fraud or deceit:
She cheats without regrets.
to violate rules or regulations:
He cheats at cards.
SEE MORE
noun
a person who acts dishonestly, deceives, or defrauds:
He is a cheat and a liar.
a fraud; swindle; deception:
The game was a cheat.
If a couple are being honest with one another and do not decieve one another and do not break the agreed rules or regulations they have set for
their relationship then it is not cheating.
Are you sure this is the right site for you? |

"Probably isn't the right site for me. Because I say it exactly as I see it and people don't like the truth."
You literally just stated that your truth is more true than the English dictionary itself  |

Open relationships is just another word for cheating and getting away with it. |

We have an ethical non-monogamous relationship, which involves a lot more communication and trust than a regular monogamous relationship I think.
It works because we respect, love and trust one another, which should be the basis of any good relationship.
Maybe someone who has never understood or experienced that, could call it ‘cheating’ as it might alleviate their own feelings of inadequacy. |

But if things are that good between you why need anyone else involved. |

As explained above, by the very definition of the word cheating, if two persons in a relationship are honest with each other, do not deceive each other and do not break the agreed rules and boundaries they have set for their relationship then it is not cheating. |

I'm sure if people tell themselves often enough that it's not cheating they eventually believe it. |

People have more than one child, it doesn’t mean they love the first child any less. Likewise we all have different friends who we do different things with, no one would ever ask ‘why not just stick with one friend if things are so good?’
Because no one person can ever be everything to another and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Granted monogamy works for some people, just don’t expect everyone to conform to a single norm. |

Because it can make the good thing even better.
If your favourite meal is that good then why eat other meals instead of just having it every day?
If your favourite song is that good then why listen to other songs when you can listen to your favourite song over and over again?
If your favourite movie or TV show is so good why not watch it over and over instead of anything else?
Because it would soon become boring and monotonous.
A swinging relationship or openness can add variety to a couple's sex life and keep things interesting.
With my partner I found that it also improved our relationship and the level of love and trust we had for one another. |

How about if 99% of people think its not cheating?  |

You seem to be having great difficulty understanding the definition of the word cheating despite having it explained to you.
Either that or you have got to be trolling. |

"I believe deep down most people realize that it's cheating but don't do anything about it until the damage has been done. "
Do you mean that usually one half of the couple is not comfortable with the situation and that an open relationshion will always cause damage? Still wouldnt agree but at least thst would make some sense instead of bringing cheating into it |

So why are you on this site yourself then? Simply to preach to us? You have your opinion which you're fully entitled to but by the very definition of the word cheating in the English dictionary your viewpoint is invalid. |

It's not a "truth". It's your "opinion". Big difference. |

‘We all know’ and ‘things like’ are hardly a basis for a logical argument.
If you have experience of it not working for you personally, why not just say so? |

Ok so we know you are a strong believer in monogamy and good for you, I always respect people’s genuinely held beliefs.
But it begs the very obvious question: what are you doing on a swinging site? |

Mother of divinity. So the answer for OP is yes, like any relationship, with good communication and a solid base it'll work. We have friends in the vanilla world with a successful life-long open relationship. They have their ups and downs like everyone else. |

An open relationship has worked for us for 35 years and has enriched our lives and added to our love for each other.
The only time it was difficult was 20 years ago when we decided to have weekends away with lovers.
The two issues were money: using our family income to pay for hotels/ meals with others and commitment: our lovers wanted mor from us than we could give.
Nowadays we find that swinging is much more equable and a lot less complicated. |
