An Open Marriage

[LadyWolf]

I feel exactly the same. I mean she says they love eachother, yady yada ya... and it has supposedly made there relationship stronger, and put more so called spice into it. But how could you be okay with him sleeping with other people not knowing what he will bring home to you....

Not even so much of him sleeping with other people and him possibly bringing home something "EW to you," but if you are "okay" with him or her sleeping with other people then, in my feeble little mind, they don't care about each other in that manner.

Just out of curiousity..... And by no means am I interested in doing so. But do any of you have an open marriage or have you had one? How does that work? Don't you guys get jealous? Did it spice up your sex life?

1: it looks like someone isn't turned off to the idea of sex...just sex with hubby
2: Love and sex aren't equal, but if one partner believes they are one in the same, then "open marriage" isn't going to work.

Love and sex aren't equal, however, between a man and woman who are married to each other, it should be. Otherwise, they just may as well be roommates and sleep in separate rooms. Perhaps "sex" is the glue?

Or not.
I know of quite a few successful marriages with people sleeping in different beds, or even different houses

Love is love.
Sex is sex.
It is assumed that someone likes doing things with the person they love, and some people choose to keep sex as a mutual thing between that person only, but other people can have it with other people and maybe have something else they only do with the person they love?
Sex should not be necessary, but should be a compliment to a loving relationship.

Dear GOD,
Please make him shut up with the advice that he knows NOTHING about! Please let him get married before he starts giving marital advice again.
Thank you,

No. If I want an open relationship, I'd be single..:shrug:

Don't start.
Opinion, not advice.

I realize that you're a prude who thinks you can't love someone if you have sex with someone else though

Yeah...I heard you yelling his name earlier

 

[misshelper]

Yeah...I heard you yelling his name earlier

I wish

What?

Also: I'm in no way encouraging infidelity.
I'm talking about mutually-agreed-upon open relationships and/or swinging

 

[sockgirl77]

Must have been in a dream.

 

[sockgirl77]

What?

That was my thought.

In MY eyes, that's infidelity.

Poor girls
No wonder you're not for married people sleeping around...you want SOMEONE to get less sex than you

What were you saying?

In MY eyes, that's infidelity.

Which is fine.
I don't see how something mutually agreed upon could be considered unfaithful, but you are entitled to your opinion.

What were you saying?

You can love someone, and have sex with someone else.
Or.
I could, I don't know about you.
Personally, I wouldn't though...unless the better half was ok with it, but I'm not ok with her sleeping around either
Has nothing to do with love, though...I'm just selfish
