Open relationships

Who had or has this?

How is it even possible? Explain to me.
I assume it takes a lot of self control

I actually like to hear more on a guy's pov, cause if open relationships aren't an issue and neither is having sex with mulitple people an issue either ya know labeling, and bad mouthing, name calling people it's their choice and no one should judge. But the carefree types are the ones that enter into these or the married at least twice in life or have 3 kids from previous relationship. .lots of people are casually doing casual things irl..

I was in an open relationship for 3 years. I would say you need 3 things for it to really work: lots of communication, rules and mutual love for each other. My ex and I were very much in love with each other... and sex. Neither of us are the jealous types. We would meet potential playmates together sometimes whether it was for one or the other to enjoy or for both of us. I guess you could call us swingers too. We each could sleep with others as long as we were safe and it was an un-emotional connection.

It can work if you want it too. Furthermore, I think its healthy to explore your desires and such while still having your special someone to be with when it's all said and done. We are both the type that can have a NSA affair/ one night stand and have it mean nothing other than what it was.

For the astrologers...I'm and Aquarius, he was a Capricorn.

Sometimes I wish I can do that, but nope, can't do it.

Pretty much this. I knew a couple, but not their signs, who were in an open relationship. One of the rules was no playmates in the house unless both partners were present. I knew the guy through mutual friends, I went over to their apartment to help him through some of the bonus levels on the Ocarina of time over the promises of being fed (My pre-julia child days). GF came home and was like " wtf ? " (pre-mobile phones for everyone). Took us both 10 minutes to convince her that I had zero interest in anything going on other than with that Nintendo 64.

I am more like a part-time monogamist
