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?
Love how a bunch of weirdos have showed up to reify and reinforce monogamy as the only real/serious option. Totally what this thread needed/was asking for guys.
Anyway, open and it rules, married. Neither of us could imagine not being open. As with all relationships it requires a constant stream of communication, and resentment can build up, this has happened in previous relationships, but i think that frequently happens in mono relationships and people stay together for longer because when you're in a monogamous relationship you sort of have to turn off the "if shit sucks hit da bricks" part of your brain.
I will say based on some stuff you're saying, IDK if its right for you. Strings Attached forms of polyamory (they have to date us a couple, you need permission from me, etc) always seems to fail IME. My wife and I's relationship works because no matter how caught up she gets with a crush or even explicit partner I know shes coming home to me at the end of the night, telling me about her date. I hold and kiss her while we fall asleep. etc.
I want her to come home at the end of the ight and tell me about it. We’re still in the early stages of planning.
:yea:
also they're cringe
