Open relationships...
I have been hearing a lot about open relationships lately. I don't know if it's an old idea that is becoming more accepted and open in society - or just more people are doing it now. Some celebrity couples you may know who are in open relationships:
Um... Charlie Sheen (maybe a bad example)
Demi and Ashton
Pink and Carey
Will and Jada
Tilda Swinton
Mo'nique
There are a tonne of blogs written by people in open relationships - writing about their husbands and boyfriends, and their life in general.
The basic argument is that its not natural to be monogamous. That relationships are healthier if they are open and have one main relationship and multiple side relationships/one night stands/"play" partners.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think the guilt of being with someone else would kill me. Plus, I have zero desire to be with anyone when I'm in a relationship with someone else. On the opposite side - I could not lay in bed at night knowing that my husband/boyfriend is "playing" with someone else... I think that, personally, would be horrible.
How do you feel about open relationships?
