Open relationships or multiple partners

[22_22]

Has anyone here had any open relationships or multiple partners at the same time? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this or something similar?

I have never tried it so I would not know but I imagine it requires a lot of communication and trust. I imagine it is difficult to find another person with these interests unless you communicate it early in the relationship or talking stage?

Can't say I would ever be in something like this, but honestly I can't help but things should be open. Never know when you will see someone you want to have a one night stand with.

I have been a part of one before and am currently in a different one. The first time we didn't communicate well and it sort of fell apart, that and we just weren't good for each other in the end. Communication and trust are a big part of it, but personality and attitude matter just as much from all parties, that's why my current relationship is going well.

My ex wife asked for an open relationship, while she was cheating on me, right before I moved out and filed for divorce. Nope, won't do it and won't tolerate it.

I think it works out for some people. My best friends/D&D buddies are in a poly relationship. As long as everyone is on the same page it's fine in my book. I couldn't do it myself though, because I love my wife and I don't think I'd be comfortable in a poly relationship. I know she wouldn't be up for one either.

Likewise. It's impossible for me to share my partner with another man. I refuse to do it. Not just that but I don't like being someone's second choice.

Hard enough to deal with one partner without having multiple ones. Not for me!

Nope, it’s not something I could ever do, I love my partner and could never see her with another man and couldn’t bare the thought of being with another women.

Nope, I don't subscribe to any of your options. it is either you are in or out
I don't like multiple intimate partners it can be irritating
