The Open Relationship

Hey everyone sorry for the long wait but conflicting thoughts and topics that I’ve been working on just need more information and detail in them. Anyway, this topic I want to talk about is open relationships. Why would anyone want to be in an open relationship confuses me, you should just be single and call it a day but whatever floats your boat.


Being in an open relationship is really like telling the other person that you want to be just friends with benefits. Some people that I know in open relationships don’t even want the title (boyfriend/girlfriend) they just tell other people around them, that they are just friends. So it’s really confusing and I have been trying to comprehend why ANYONE would want to be in an open relationship.
One of the main reasons I came across was that people like to have that one person they could run back to if anything goes wrong. They want companionship but still want to be free to do anything. Open relationship to me is like an in-between spot, saying “I like them but I don’t like them.” So instead of calling each other “fuck buddies” the new modern age term for it is “open relationship”. I would say it does sound better but eventually something happens when it is no longer considered an “Open Relationship”.


Just be single and do what you want, you don’t have to be in an “open relationship” to have that one person you can always run back to.

  1. Open relationships will never work,when couples make the decision to enter open realationship they generally associate with this agreement boundaries/rules/limitations (i.e I have to meet every girl/guy u mess wit) which totally defeats the purpose of the OPEN relationship which is to feel free to explore without restrictions.Some will always become attatched and eveything will change bringing u both back to the age old question TO BE [monogamous] OR NOT TO BE [monogamous]

  2. I think it can work if both people are on the same page. What's wrong with a simple agreement to have sex. Its usually two grown people making a grown decision. Hopefully they know the consequences that come with the benefits.
