obviously those ppl arent interested in that kind of lifestyle. for myself, a monogamous relationship feels safe and stable. ''sharing'' is just Not in my nature. Good Luck with your search, :)

I tried the open relationship thing, if you love
someone it hurts to see them or know that they are giving themselves to someone else. that not a relationship I can handle, I don't want to share the one I love. Either we are together or we are not, not being together does not mean we still can't have sex, just means there is no expectations of loyalty. I believe a relationship is 2 people and only 2 people. |

thats it in a nutshell, :)

It is hard enough to make a relationship work with only 2 people. You start bringing in 3 or more people into a relationship then things get that much more complicated.

I guess I kind of had an open relationship with my last husband when I finally accepted that he was going to cheat on me no matter what, so I might as well let him.
It didn't work because even though he wasn't hiding it, it still killed me. You probably get the reaction you do because most people don't prefer it. |

Fair enough a relationship is hard work no matter how many ppl are in it, but in most relationships it ends due to the fact that either someone cheated or someones needs are not meet. So why not take that out of the issues you have?

I call it sex, just like masturbation. people do have needs and sex does not always need to involve love or emotion, A relationship does. |

So why not take that out of the issues you have? If you find a woman who is truly open to that and won't harbor negative feelings because of it, then it's all good. Just make sure you won't be feeling jealous when she is the one having sex with someone else. |

What need is it that you and your significant other need filled that is not being filled by each other? Humans have many needs and one person cannot fill them all. Men usually have a need for "guy time" and whatever recreation they enjoy and that may or may not include his wife. People have relationships at work that fill needs for professional recognition. Is that what you are talking about? |

Sex is physical so it has no place in love, with love you share an emotional bond and if you're not getting that then you can't call it love. If you're needs are not being met continue looking, do not simply add more people. |

Is this a hypothetical question or are you currently in a relationship where your needs are not being met? You brought up sex outside of your relationship first. That is very different than having friends and social activities that do not include your wife/girlfriend. |

Yes!!!! ![]() If what you are looking for is "guy time" to go hang out with the guys at the bar, then you are not looking for an open relationship/open marriage....you are looking for permission to go hang out and have other friends.. An open relationship is when you are looking for another person to be intimate with and go out with. If you are in a relationship, it should be between TWO people during it's duration not just two people at a time. (My opinion) |

i knew a couple once, they were swingers.
it eventually led to jealousy hurt anger. i think if you really love someone, it's not meant to be shared. JMHO |
