Are you saying I was not respectful of your opinion? Is having a differing opinion the equivalent of disrespect?

Rationalizing the heck out of everything? Do you care to clarify what you mean by that? I am sharing specific experience about the topic at hand. I am sharing my own experience as well as the experience of many of my friends.

You seem to be coming up with example scenarios that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I wasn't speaking to you in general. The thread was starting to get nasty and for the sake of the thread I said what I said. Had absolutely nothing to do with you. I would just like to hear peoples opinion without the thread getting closed because of nastiness. Sorry if you took it wrong.

Why not? I have a free pass. Even if my significant other found out, we have an open relationship, so what difference does it make?
Found out? In an open relationship, they already KNOW.

I think this conversation is dumb because most people don't know what that term even means.

Thanks. I would still like to know what you mean by whomever is rationalizing the heck out of what.

That's just my opinion. I'm not slamming you personally, I'm debating the authenticity of your opinion. I do think you might be rationalizing it, then again, I could be completely wrong. I'm not perfect and I'm wrong alot. Either or no big deal. Let's get back to the subject..

You obviously could handle it. Kudos to you if it really works. I would leave my girl if she ever brought up the idea..Just my opinion.

That's all cool with you?

What's next, you sleep on the couch and he sleeps with your girl? Maybe he'll start bringing friends over to your house too. Why not?

To me, it's disrespectful. If a person is a cheater, they're going to cheat, and there honestly isn't much that you can do about it, but if you give them the green light, how are you going to regulate who they are sleeping with?

How do you know if she's having unprotected sex with somebody that has STD's? What if you decide you want kids? What then?

Are you kids going to witness all these different guys at your house, spending time with their mother in a sensual way?

Yeah, I'm really gonna want to share my life with a girl like that..Not a chance..Then after every sloppy loser is done with her, I get to cuddle with "it". I'll call her that, because at that point, that's what she'd be to me..No freaking way..Just way to kinky and creepy for me.
Obviously you two lost perspective of the topic. If it were in an open relationship this would not be the scenario at all.
I would be at the dude's house banging his wife.
What you are talking about is flat out cheating, even abuse.

I would say no. I am not favor being in an open relationship, so either we go through counselling, or he changes his mind or we split up.

On a side note, I don't believe my SO would ever ask this because we came into the relationship with similar values.

I disagree. Although I admit I was a little dramatic. The scenarios that play out might as well be like that. I've heard about and seen from t.v many situations similar to that. Husband and wife go to a party. Multiple guys are feeling on wifey. Husband is partaking in multiple sexual escapades with many women. That's not exactly clean. Don't forget, every situation is not the same. Every couple who do this don't do it safe or with the same people all the time. Some have mulitiple partners who they don't really know. Some women like to be gangbanged and their husbands watch. It's not exactly as exclusive as some are making it out to be either. Yeah, of course the line to the bedroom was a bit dramatic. But it also wasn't so far out of the ordinary, and in many instances very real. Some very kinky things go down with swingers of all sorts. Me personally, I wouldn't and couldn't share someone I love.

I think it is sad that people are rushing off to the lawyers office over the broaching of a topic. If anything THAT strikes me as an environment of lack of trust.

You know that tv is not real, right? Even "reality" tv is not real.
