My boyfriend and I are in a serious monogamous relationship. NO way would I be okay with that. I couldn't ever forgive him no matter how much I love him.

Not if it was decided we are in a monogamous relationship.

I've been in poly/open relationships. It wasn't what I wanted when I met my husband. He is not open to non-monogamy. He made that known early on.

Hall Passes... I don't think they're the worst idea, but (assuming we're talking about an otherwise monogamous couple) the idea of a sanctioned, consequence-free opportunity to cheat, exists somewhere between naive and delusional. Once that horse is out of the barn, you're still going to have to deal with the fall out; I couldn't see myself actually going through with unless I was already looking for a way out of the relationship.

This movie is a perfect example of "opening that door" and regretting it.

As others have said, if you enter something with expectations of monogamy and you violate that, I don't expect someone to be ok with it. There are even rules within the poly crowd as far as I've heard. Don't know the particulars though.

^^Excellent movie! There is only so much rationality you can apply to matters of the heart, and I think most people would handle it a lot worse than they think they would.

There are people like this out there, who are OK with it.

I work with a married guy, and his wife told him "If you came home with a child from another woman I would be OK with it."

Same here.

I would toss him to the curb and end our relationship, asap.

I will never tolerate infidelity as appropriate.

Would you be okay with it if your gf slept with another man?
