sounds to me like t/s agreed to an open relationship only to keep her man because she thought he'd leave otherwise. doesn't sound like the right motivation to me, but hey
Your post came off as being about open relationships in general being glorified cheating and not just talking about this case.
Exactly.
Most relationships go sour, wonder if open relationships success rate is higher or lower?
An internet survey claimed that 60% of swingers believe swinging improved their marriage and less than 2% felt that it made it worse. I vaguely remember hearing from another source that swingers were actually less likely to divorce and more likely to self-report being happier in their relationships but I might not be remembering right.
well I do think that... this thread is proof my opinion is not wrong
To 'cheat' is to break agreed upon rules. You can't break rules that don't exist.
You want my advice? Get off the IC and go do something about your relationship because you're grown. Handle your shit because we can't help you. You love this nigga and it isn't working out? End it. Simple as that. Stop sitting around and asking others to help you solve problem and deal with the choices you made to get in this relationship.
Why befriend someone if you're just going to have other friends?
Why do you think that romantic love is only 'valid' when it's exclusive? Does it make sense that the basis of your marriage to John is your relationship (or lack theoreof) with Bob, Peter, Joe or other men? How you feel about other men has nothing to do with how you feel about your husband.
Which includes being commited to the person you married
sorry.... fucking someone else even with permission doesn't sit right with me
Why does 'commitment' have to exclusive (never mind the assumption that you should 'commit' to romantic partners to begin with)? If it doesn't sit right with you then don't do it.
when it's just a physical act?
I disagree, there's an inherent psychological aspect to sex.
leave it to the women of the IC to attack the open marriage, smh
anyway ma, ur nigga is obviously still into this old bitch. aint no way in the world u gon tell a nigga like me, that i can smah all the bitches i wanna except this ONE and we stuck having this dumb ass problem 7 months later
leave it to the women of the IC to attack the open marriage, smh
Is it JUST women of the IC "attacking" open marriage? Or society in general? No one "attacked" anything in this thread. The t/s obviously has low self esteem....not b/c she agreed to an open marriage (which I, personally, would never do), but b/c she's wondering what she should do with someone who has repeatedly walked over and disresepcted her in their short 7 months of marriage. Why is what she should do even a question? What would you do if someone trated you like sh*t?

good lawd
not agreeing with open marriage does not = attacking open marriage
You not dealing with an open marriage though, you dealing with a dude you forced into marriage and he made the choice to do it on the whim...but he doesnt really want to be married to you. An open marriage can not persist if a person actually has "another s/o" outside of the main...if its just friends/flings where you might fuck once or twice and leave alone then yall should be good.
When a person is fucking someone all the time, there are feelings involved....open marriages won't work for someone that has feelings for someone else other than the main.
an open relationship is only as successful as the people executing it. if their certain boundaries that are set, but aren't being adhered to, that's not a flaw in open relationships, that's a character flaw within the people involved. in T/S case, your shit was flawed from jump.
Oh, well... Anything is possible. And since life is one heck of an adventure, i can say that keeping an open relationship can be an interesting phase, if you're not going to complicate much to it. You just have to keep an open mind with your partner/s...
So you agreed to an open relationship under one condition which was that he could not see this one chick, and he still sees her? Sounds to me like he got you to agree to an open relationship as an excuse to still see her. You might share that man.....
This is a mess. And having an open marriage s not something you just that shouldn't be a "wasn't my first choice but...." If you're not 100% into it, it will cause major problems, even if history girl wasn't in the picture. Since this situation is not working for you, you gotta let him know. If he loved you enough to marry you, maybe he will let that lifestyle go. If he doesn't want to, well then you two just don't need to be together.
Fuck all that I heart cali in this thread.. I wanna have an open relationship between her legs.. anyways.. ya he won. Must be doing something right..
So...he can fuck any girl he wants except one, and he's still fucking that one? Let me ask you, are YOU allowed to have sex with other men in this "open relationship"?
I may be biased but I have little faith in marriage as it is, so an open marriage nowadays isn't far-fetched although IMO it defeats the purpose of marriage. Bottom line, you didn't ask to be respected as a wife should be, and he doesn't have the smallest ounce of respect for you if he won't listen to ONE rule you put in place. You're doing yourself a disservice. Pick up and leave now before the last shred of self esteem you have for yourself is gone.
