Open relationships makes no sense to me. You're allowing your partner to look/date around, and chances are good, your partner will end up leaving you, but not after you got crabs, Lol

Best to remain single, imo
Seriously! Honey go bang that person and we can later......um that's a negative.
The end of my first marriage was open/poly. It worked in that situation, and by "worked" I mean it was something we weighed on and decided to take that step.
However, in the relationships that followed, they were decidedly closed, as is my current marriage. I'm a full supporter of consensual, ethical non-monogamy. I know quite a few open and poly couples, and it works for them. I know others that it didn't work for, often because one party wasn't truly open to the arrangement.
I've had open, poly, and monogamous relationships. I liked all three styles. For me, it's just a matter of where I am at in my life, what my partner wants, what seems practical, etc. I don't get jealous easily. I am fanatical about safe sex, but my partners have been too, so it hasn't been an issue.
In the future, I think I might like to have a relationship that is monogamous during the dating and marrying phase, and opens up after we have been married for a few years. But I'm flexible.
Sometimes I share my dessert, and sometimes I don't. It depends on the dessert and how full I am. One time I tried to get my then-bf and my then-best-friend together, but she wasn't interested. I said, 'To me, he is like chocolate cake! You know when something is really yummy and you just want to share it? I'm all, 'Try this cake, it is delicious .''
Stop me if you've heard this one, I may have mentioned it on another thread.
About a week ago I was at a theme park with my wife, her workout partner, and an old friend of her workout partner's. One man, three women, a total of eight kids. My wife jokingly noted we looked like a polygamist family and all three of them started calling me "honey" and telling all the kids to "obey their father" and doing so with others close by so as to draw attention. We did get a few looks.
But in all seriousness, I am happily committed to one woman.
Not a chance in hell, and if a girlfriend of mine even suggested something like that I'd dump her.
