But you think its bad?
Not bad as such, just different from what I could personally do. If it works for some people, good for them. |

I am in one (I think... see below). We agreed to open the relationship, IDK, 7 years ago? Something like that. We're both bi/pan, and sexuality- and kinkwise pretty incompatible. Neither of us was remotely willing to give up the relationship because of that though, because romantically and non-sexual-intimacy wise, the relationship is amazing. Oh god I love her so much. Anyways, we decided to open the relationship with a couple ground rules:
She went on a couple of dates but didn't actually end up sleeping with anyone, I slept with a couple of people. And... things were cool! It worked out for us. If anything, we grew even closer. The reason I said above that I "think" we're in an open relationship is simply because neither of us has taken advantage of the openness of the relationship in at least 3 years, lmao. And so if I would decide that I'd like to get active again in that regard, that would 100% be preceded with a "hey, are we still open? Are you still comfortable with that, or have your thoughts changed?" conversation. |

How its bad?
Relationships that start out open have a higher chance of success, but opening a previously closed one almost always ends in disaster. The thing is, neither of you will know how you'll feel until after it's too late. It's not worth the risk, if you care about your relationship. |

It's not about the location so much as the expectations and praticalities. An 'open relationship' as a status requires a commitment from both people to maintain commitment to the relationship but allow casual sexual interactions outside of the relationship. That's hard for a lot of, if not the large majority of, people, even when both people are in close proximity. If you take away the commitme...
So its good if both want open relationship? |

For me, I prefer when both me and my bf can be flirty with the person. If the person prefers me or my bf, I fear that it could lead to jealousy, so I try to make sure everyone gets their fair share of flirting :3
so can we all 4 together |

Ok so to be poly everyone involved has to be good with it, and if you're not comfortable then it's not poly; it's cheating. My wife wasn't comfortable at first so we talked about it and now she is, but it's definitely not for everyone. The mononormative worldview in our society is DEEPLY ingrained. For the people in my polycule it's healthy and good for us, and all four of us have a good relati...

I'm split on it. I'm involved with someone who is in one, which basically means I am in one. I don't really want to see anyone else, myself. He already had another BF when we met. Sometimes I wish I was the only one so he'd give me more attention cuz we see each other maybe once a week, if he's not busy wifh work or school or his other friends. Which makes it feel like I'm just the one he sees ...
so its good according to you? |

No, I'm one of those people this will never work with because I have 3 disabilities dealing with emotional regulation. I lose control of my reactions to stuff. Best not to play with fire there :) |

So its good if both want open relationship?
It can technically be made to work, but it will be extremely hard. It's combining two difficult to manage relationship dynamics into one VERY difficult one. Both people wanting an open relationship is only the bare minimum starting point. It takes a LOT more than that to even begin to make it work. |

How do you mean? Kiss someone else, then ask your partner? Or are you asking how to approach the topic with your partner? |
