My girlfriend and I have been talking about entering an open relationship the last 3 years. We’ve been together for 6 and had our ups and downs but we’ve been really solid the last two years. We love each other and I say our relationship is strong.
The last week, we’ve been laying ground rules for potentially opening up our relationship. We want to keep it very casual with other people.
Anyone willing to share their experience both good or bad?
If you think about how many "regular relationships" fail? the rate is similar. It is more noticeable because it is novel and involves more people. It is just internalized bits of sex negativity thst we have to work though.
Also because it isn't normal people who aren't normal are more likely to try it. So there is extra chaos in that. However, we are posting on hexbear. We are about as far from normal as it gets.
Are you saying that anyone who doesn't want an open relationship just has "sex negativity" they need to work through?
No, I am saying that even otherwise good comrades can have biases there we wouldn't expect. There are plenty of valid reasons to. This is just an unexpected roadblocks.
It is more likely than not given how we were raised.
