Well, let's put it this way:

Would you be ok with her having sex with other guys if you're having sex with other girls? huh

Stupid glich stole my response.

To repeat:

If you're looking to "spice it up" by adding other people, it means it's already on its way to being over. You can either throw in the gloves and walk away, or get some kind of counseling. I've known a few couples that had that idea and their relationship ended quickly afterward. When you're in a monogamous relationship, you shouldn't be wanting to hook up with other people... that's a definite bad sign.

If you want more than one partner then stay single. I do not want to be in a cheating realionship.

If you want more than one partner then stay single. I do not want to be in a cheating realionship.

I heartily agree. Unless your partner is poly or is ok with a poly partner. Even then, full disclosure is the best way, imho.

Open relationships and poly relationships are not cheating, as long as all of the parties know and consent. It is definitely not my thing, though - and I wouldn't be with someone for which it was.

Also, if a couple is already open to play with others at some future point from the get go, but chooses to hold off on it till they form a secure base in the primary relationship - and remain open, honest, and flexible in communication about it, I don't see how it could be a problem.

Flexibility means they may even reserve the right to say they do not think it would be safe for the relationship at some point. Communication is so very important here.

Yes, poly is hard to do....even if it is just polysexual and not polyamorous. There are many pitfalls and jealousies which could put your primary relationship at risk. An individual and couple must think long and hard about whether it is worth risking that relationship - losing that primary partner - if it goes wrong. A person has to decide if it is worth it.

Well put. Agreed.

If you are talking about cheating on someone without their knowledge, then it is wrong. In a relationship, you need love and trust. By cheating, you are destroying both.

My advice, stay true or do the kind thing and end the relationship.



If you are talking about an open relationship, my answer is that I have never seen it work out even when both parties agreed that they want it. In most cases, one person subconsciously feels threaten by the competition.

My advice, if you do not want to commit, do not have a relationship. smokin smokin smokin

I can't say cheating is a good thing at all.

I'd venture to say that there are a good number of people on HERE who are here because they've been cheated on and it was the end of their relationship.

I know a few couples who do this, they have different terms and conditions, but for me.... no it would never work...I don't play well with others....

The only good thing about cheating is that when someone does it to you, and you find out, you can ditch that person and move on. So I suppose it has some "informative" value.
