They're fine if the people involved in them are clear and honest in their communication. They do, however, often result from one sided pressure exerted from a partner when the other doesn't want to be non-exclusive.

Seems like a lot of work. I think I could handle it emotionally, but fuck. It's already a lot of work having a single partner. Aren't enough hours in the day to deal with all it would entail

I believe people should be allowed to have whatever type of relationship they want.

I also believe open relationships are inherently doomed to fail, and that there almost al\ways exists an unbalanced power dynamic between the parties of an open relationship. One party is benefitting more than the other, which is exactly why they want an open relationship. The other party just gives in and goes along with it.

open relationships need to be open not just between the partners but known to the outside world, or else one of the partners can paint the other as a cheater the moment they get unhappy or jealous

with that said though, most are untenable and have unhealthy dynamics under the surface

As long as everyone's a consenting adult that isn't being manipulated or exploited, then more power to them.

I've been in open relationships in the past. In my experience, the big challenge is overcoming feelings of jealousy. It's natural when you're new to the dynamic, but if you can't shake it you're never going to accomplish a healthy relationship(s).

see, this is whats silly to me. Saying theyre inherently doomed to fail as if monogamous relationships arent as well

I know exactly one open couple and it seems to work for them. And I know the husband and even though he sleeps with other women, he has steadfast rules that once feelings get involved, it's over. He's emotionally 100% committed to his wife.

I was living in a house with that was with a polyamorous couple. It was two non-birnary people married and one trans women that was the girlfriend. I don't think the situation was good polyamory, I felt out of the loop and eventually was asked to leave the house.

It ended with me losing a bunch of friendships and the married couple getting a divorce. Am I against poly relationships, no not at all. But for me I felt that in this case it wasn't right. My friend went online looking for a girlfriend, this was the night they got home from the honeymoon too. I feels like, they just aren't ever satisfyed, or at least wait a bit.

So I really don't know. I got out of that situation, and feel jaded after being in that mess. I don't know anyone else that is poly so I have no other way to gauge what a healthy poly relationship looks like.

Every relationship either ends with people breaking up or death

I never got why people look at open relationships or polyamorous relationships and say theyre destined for failure.

life and relationships are about the journey, not just the destination

I'm non-monogomous and not jealous. I've wanted to open relationships in the past but my partners haven't been as interested. Even in relationships that are unambiguously started as casual hookups, I've had people develop feelings and become jealous and hurt when I won't commit to them.

I don't think there's anything morally wrong with open relationships in general - assuming they are built on a foundation of honest communication - but even when given those assumptions, I think most people naturally yearn for commitment and will just wind up getting hurt.

Not something I'm interested in, and I would want my hypothetical partner to also be monogamous.

That being said, open relationships are fine if all parties involved are open and honest with each other. Live and let live, I say.

Holy shit, refreshing to see people being open-minded about it, (even if it isn't for them personally). That other topic for sure had me thinking this one would turn into a preachy fuck-fest.

I've never really had a chance to be in one and I don't think I want to. Although relationships are kind of alien to me so I probably don't need to think about it.

ENM is pretty popular here though, I imagine there are places where it's less common.
