marriage

[billy]

I've been in open relationships, and it sucks pretty hard. It takes much more discipline to cope with jealousy, than it does to 'walk the line' imho. But thats just me. I aint judgemental about peoples prefferences, but I do get slightly pissed with people close to me when they brag about their disregard of traditional 'faithfullness' in relationships. I learned the hard way how destructive it can be.

To cut it short: anything goes as long as noone is harmed in the process. The thing is, that when people fall in love for real, they become very fragile.

ain't that the truth though it seems some even many can cope with a multi marriage. is an open relationship the same as living with more than one person for the rest of your life?

I think it's a matter of personal choice, gays included. I don't see either as right or wrong, bad or good. There's pros and cons to both types of relationships.
As for women being allowed more than one husband? ... of course ... what's good for the gander should be good for the goose also.
Myself, I prefer a monogamous relationship, primarily because I'm selfish and require/enjoy single intimate attention. I'm also very traditional in my ideas of family life. I've been with my husband for nearly 30 years and have never had a desire to wander as with my partner and I feel great security in our togetherness.

i prefer monogamy but think it's at least okay if it's a multi husband/wife one as well. though the houses would have to be bigger.
