A couple of good and valid points, and in an ideal world, I would agree.
I do wonder however for how many people who are in an open relationship, that this is actually the case?
Could it be that there are some who agree to it for different reasons?
For instance take the partner who has lost his / her sex drive and agrees because he / she does not want to deprive their partner of an active sex life, or perhaps the partner who agrees simply because he / she is scared that should they not agree, the other party may well either leave, or pursue their passion covertly?
Knowing some of the complexities of relationships and human nature, I find it hard to believe that all open relationships, when put under the microscope, are really a 50 / 50 emotional ride, that’s not to say I think all OR’s are like that, far from it, having met several couples in this situation,
I strongly believe that most are certainly for mutual gratification and by mutual consent, but I do sometimes question some peoples motives, ……………….. And questioning is good right? It stimulates debate, by which we all learn a little more, sometimes even about ourselves …………. Or here’s hoping
Couldn't agree more, you put it more succinctly than I did.
