Last night, Sam and I were watching Baggage (that trashy Jerry Springer show) and one of the girl's secrets was that she likes being in open relationships. In theory, it's not an awful idea but in practice, I'm wondering how well that works. For at least one person, there's got to be some jealousy issues. "We were supposed to have date night tonight... What do you mean you were out with someone else?"
To me, if you can't be happy with one person,you shouldn't be in a relationship at all. Even in a long distance relationship, I would so not be cool with being in an open relationship. The word "mine" comes to mind. I'm not usually a possessive girlfriend at all - I thought it was awesome that he went out clubbing with his friends in Germany - but when it comes to other girls in a more-than-friends kind of way... Just no. And I know he feels the same way, so there's no chance we would last in an open relationship or even make it that way in the first place.
I guess if you can make it work and you're both genuinely happy, great for you, carry on, but it's not something I think would work out 99% of the time.
