Is it normal to be in an "open" relationship where only one of the partners sleeps with other people?

    I think it's fine since you even asked him and he doesn't mind. Moreover you sleep with other women which is less threatening and "dirty" as no other man comes inside of you.

    Hehe you're being played for a fool.

    Relationships should not be open like that.

          If you say so, I gave him the choice. If he wanted we could break up it's not like I'm going behind his back.

            Okay so why ask for other people's opinions if you think it's completely fine? :b

              Because she probably gets shit on all the time for it just like people are doing here, and that can really shake a person's confidence.

              Actually, if everyone involved agrees and no one's getting hurt, right is exactly what it is my good sir.

              I accept your version of morality and that works for you, it's fine if other people have different ideas of morality as well.

          I do not see at all why this is taking advantage of someone. He said he was fine with it. Honestly in my last relationship my girlfriend was bi and I thought it was hot when she would fuck around with other girls. I had actually tryed to encourage her to get a girlfriend so I wouldnt have to attend to her all the time. (she was kind of needy)

          Just because you would only want a monogamous relationship does not mean its wrong.

              Ok. Can you share then why you think its wrong? Its not cheating because the guy knows whats going on and is ok with it. The only reason I can think of that someone would see this as immoral is some religious nut having delusions that their god will smite them for it.
              Im not trying to change what you think but honestly Im just curious why people think the things they do because I just cannot understand why.

    It sounds like a good relationship to me. I like that you at least talked about your desires with your man. It is better the suppressing your desires or acting on them behind his back.

    Some people need a variety and some people don't, and sometimes sex is sex it's nothing to do with love and being in a relationship. If everyone is happy y does it matter?

    NO, that's complete and utter bullshit. Leave them if they don't stop sleeping around.

    I was in a situation like that. Girlfriend wanted to get her kicks off by sleeping with other girls.

    I didn't care. But then, she got really attached to one. The proverbial stuff hit the fan, and I ended up being out a girlfriend for a while. Then, after her phase left her, she literally begged me back and I declined.

    Do what you think is right.

    If he's ok with it and doesn't mind you fooling around then I guess everything is working out fine then? Sure it's not your typical relationship and for the most part something like fooling around with other people usually isn't cool since most people want their lover to be faithful to them. Although if you two still love each other and are happy with your relationship already and it doesn't sound like anyone is getting hurt then hey enjoy. If I had a girlfriend who was into hooking up with other girls I'd personally encourage it to an extent because I can't help to want a part in it in some way shape or form. Sounds interesting to me because it would be more of a fantasy. Now other guys is a bit of a different story.

    In my opinion you say your partner says it's fine but I don't think he thinks it's fine. I think he cares a lot about you enough to not want to lose you and to agree to you having an open relationship. Maybe since it's with other girls he reasoned with himself that that was okay but I think he's fooling himself. I bet it does bother him, at least a bit, deep down inside.

    But then again people are all different. The open relationship with only one person seeing other people doesn't seem very prevalent (I've never seen it) so I voted not normal.

    as long as he gets to watch every now and then o_o ha ha ha ha....cannot say it's abnormal because in this day and age it is impossible to define normal..so this is relatively mild compared to some weirdo's who eat their poop and let dogs lick their backsides. LMAO this is a vastly entertaining site

        If both parties are okay with it, then there's really not much of a problem.
