I think one partner is enough and if not then you are with the wrong person .
When i am in a relationship i like it to be one on one when others come in to play thats when the problems start.
I have experienced online dating or a relationship and its tuff ,we haven’t met which is all my fault too this point, but at the same i still expect the commitment there was from the start but then you need to stop and think maybe there is a third party and thats why so that can be tough as well.
Agreed Red Devil. I think polywhatsit is fine and dandy when you’re not with ‘the one’. I suppose that very phrase, ‘the one’, tells the tale. When settling down with your life partner, there’s only one.
Having said that, if everyone in the relationship is happy with the situation, go for it. Just be open about being open, if you get me
Open relationships are not for me, no way. I think I should be enough for someone who loves me and they should be enough for me. Some might say that perhaps it’s insecurity but I think it’s sharing yourself totally with one person.
Having said that I don’t think there is anything wrong with having multiply partners, whatever floats your boat. I just think that if people are seeing more than one person they need to be honest about it
I am aware of committed couples who do manage to make the open part of “open relationship” work very well, so I’m not going to knock it, having never tried it!
I think relationship problems can happen in mono or poly relationships. I have been in both types of relationship and right now I prefer poly. I don’t believe in ‘the one’, but I do believe in falling in love, in sharing yourself, in intimacy and honesty. I don’t think that mono or poly has the monopoly on those things.
@Gooner for me it isn’t about one person being enough for me, or me for them. I wouldn’t expect one friend to meet all my friendship needs however close a friend they were and I feel the same about partners.
