I can't see you in a relationship with that attitude


Some people just cant really make commitments but still wanna have fun I guess and that is probably what he or she meant.

But, to be honest, Im too possessive for that :colondollar:

how did that turn up, if u don't mind me asking...


Oh, she got pregnant when she was 15 (they'd been together a year, and she tells me it was condom breaking and she took the morning after pill lmao), they started an 'open relationship' when they were 17 because they wanted to be together but still explore other options. They moved into their own flat at 18 and went full committed then. They now live in Germany (he's in the army), happily married with another child and one on the way:smile:

No, I don't, since I was in a monogamous relationship with the same person before we became non-monogamous (we're still together after nearly 3 years). It took non-monogamy to realise those changes.


That's why I said "with the right person".

My mother got pregnant when she was 15 too, however we were from a small village in a LEDC so she had to get married and all
today she's divorced
maybe if she lived an experience like your brother, this wouldn't be the case...

Perhaps, they did have limitations though: like you couldn't being seeing someone else regularly and on the type of people they could see. I guess it worked for them, but they're still young so who knows?

No, because I believe my primary partner is the right person for this part of my life. It was the actual circumstances surrounding nonmonogamy that forced me to confront my insecurities and work out ways of handling them - that part especially, because much of my insecurity and jealousy revolves around comparing myself with other people, and I never had that in a relationship setting until there was someone to compare myself against, and nothing has ever required me to confront that until I discovered quite how badly I was beginning to take things and directly have it affect another person.
Weird and creepy, not a real relationship.
in my opinion an open relationship isnt a relationship...

i guess it depends on how you define a relationship, but I see two people who are in love (or initially like eachother) who want to commit to that one person...

if you dont want to commit just be single!

I mean the right person to bring that out in you, not necessarily the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

I believe that if you want to be able to go to parties and kiss whoever you want a simpler solution is too simply remain single. I think that open relationships are stupid and are only designed for people to have the luxuries that come with being single whilst still having the comfort and attention you gain from being in a relationship.


And what exactly about that sounds so bad to you? :tongue:

I feel like if thats what your looking for from a relationship then go for it, but I personally feel they are stupid for the same reason as the poster your quoting.

No, because it was the circumstances, not the person. If I had been with anyone else, I expect the same thing would have happened. It was from my partner's encouragement that I started to work on those things anyway, but they were never even issues until there was a reason for them to be.

Me, not you. My relationship, not yours. Since you've not had an nonmonogamous relationship, you wouldn't know. I can only be the testimony of myself, but my experience has more weight than seemingly-baseless assumptions.
