I personally will choose a committed relationship cause I like to love and be loved in return.

Is an Open Relationship really a relationship, or just a name we use in the situation when a relationship has failed and the two people just live together for one reason or another and go their own ways. If you mean an open relationship in the sense of a casual non monogamous relationships, then I would choose a committed monogamous relationship which I see as more a long term relationship that may lead to something more.

Committed relationship is awesome and it will crest an atmosphere for each partner to know what the really want in a relationship, and to make the right decisions either to stay or to leave . It’s a choice.

I disagree with the open vs committed relationship title. It’s implying that an open relationship is not a committed one which I believe is just wrong. If you’re asking monogamous vs polyamory, it depends on the people involved. Is it possible to be in love with two people at the same time? I think so. I’m not saying that it’s something I want but I wouldn’t discount it just on the surface level.

In most societies, you can only be married to one person at the same time. I have difficulty in understanding how you can be in love with more than one person to the extent of wanting to be married to both or even more people at the same time. I believe when you are in love with someone and want to be married, you are in love with them and only them, if you loved someone else at the same time, are you really in love with either of them to want to marry both, I think that is very questionable. Polyamory seems to me more a 'Friends with Benefits' type of relationship, I would doubt any romantic love exists between all the partners.

Any open relationship will cause, sooner or later, doubt in the other partner. It will not fail. It is human nature do you get jealous or at least be concerned about your loved ones' questionable Behavior with another person. I don't understand the thought that you could be in love with multiple people at the same level and the same degree of love. I know what I feel or have felt and when I coming to the presence of that special one, nothing else matters. I see nothing else. I hear no one else. And mostly the most importantly I desire no one else in my physical life. Just saying

Always a committed relationship can nurture the true love with trust, transparency and consistency. Nowadays an open relationship is like, free vouchers being sold in all street corners - no efforts needed to get it but no one is ready for a committed one. I'll be single forever if I do not get a chance to be in a committed bonding but wont opt for any open relationships ever :x:

I would agree with your comment. I just don't think it is possible to be IN LOVE with more than one person at a time. When it comes to sex, sure, there can be more than 2 people, if both agree and don't feel pressured.

If we would live from the heart instead of being driven by the (hurt and fearful) ego, an open relationship wouldn't mean sexercising as many as we could.
Not at all.
It only seems that way now because we're still expected to be monogamous, either by society or by ingrained norms & values or the partner.
Most are quite sexually oriented as opposed to 'love' oriented and then an open relationship automatically would mean 'lots of sex with different people'.

If we would live from the heart this would be different. I think many would choose to remain monogamous as they'd love their partner so much and their intimate life was good because of that. They wouldn't feel the need to stray.

It's human nature to want to go where we're told to not go. When we're being told "You can live in this house, but you're NOT allowed to go in the room with the blue door!! Not ever!"
Everyone wants to go there and find out what's in that room.
It's the same with not being allowed to have sex with others. It makes people curious what it'd be like.

Open relationship is only strange because we've been brainwashed by thousand of years of patriarchal society.
Our cell memory still holds pain and fear of what happened when you did't obey, especially women.
Men could stray, have mistresses and liaisons.
Women could not.
We would (and in still countries still get!!!) stoned for (allegedly) being intimate with another man...
Be dumped in the street, reputation ruined, forced into a nunnery, and so on and so forth.
While we had to live with the heartache of our husband straying whenever he wanted.

But that's all because we haven't lived in a society that was based on love.
Because of that our views & feelings concerning an open relationship and what that means are seriously skewed.

Two clever people cannot fall in love with each other , in a relationship , one of them has to be an idiot.....
