Not a marriage at all
-
I would never have an open marriage, but I don't necessarily look down on people that do.
-
If that's what the couple wants to do, and they are BOTH in agreement... let them have at it. I just wonder why exactly they need to be married.
-
Silly. What's the point of being married under those conditions? +5
-
They usually don't last.
-
It is a lifestyle.Some think that it adds spice to their marriage thus keeps them in love with each other.I am not about to judge others on their life choices,nor say it is right or wrong.
-
I think if both partners consent they are fine. Who are we to judge anybody on their choice of lifestyle. Personally I am not keen to be that way as I dont like the idea of another guy banging my woman, but to each his/her own.
-
If a mariage is "open", I don't see the point in having the commitment in the first place, so I wouldn't participate in one. But if other couples are happy with that type of arrangement, then they have a right to that happiness.
-
What others do is their own business...but it's not for me.
-
If that particular thing works for them, more power to them.
-
I think they are a very good idea, PROVIDED that the couple having one is very mature, responsible, level-headed, and can keep things in their proper perspectives. +5

I don't understand them, to be honest. I just really have a hard time equating the idea of marriage (as it stands) with that of an open marriage. I don't judge - I just don't understand it, and its not for me.
-
i tried a closed version, didn't work out so well. I'd be more than happy to try an open one though.
-
If that is the way to make it work for them, let it be, it is their business. As for me, I have learned never to say never, but it seems unlikely.
-
Close them.
-
Live and let live unless there are children involved, and then absolutely not. But, even if no children, know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, there is going to be a lot of pain somewhere along the line. As long as you know that going in.
-
No she don,t share ?
-
It always ends badly, someone will get jealous or fall for someone else. THink about the vows and what they say and it should make you think about what your doing. I watched it happen because my ex wanted to try women and it lead to her banging every guy at the bar she could find. Oh well she now lives in some gevernment housing and needs food stamps to eat, her loss.

I think that you should have just not gotten married at all. its basically cheating but it would be allow. Marriage is suppose to be sacred and between two people only. If there are somethings that someone who is married want to experiment with more than one person, than they really shouldn't of gotten married until they are ready to settle down with only that one person.
