only reason someone wants it open.... is because they want permission to cheat.... pure and simple.





You took a vow... and so did your spouse...... LIVE IT.If you have lived in an open marriage please give advice?
Does he want an open marriage, or does he want to swing? They are bit different. Swinging is sex with strangers for recreation, ego and something to try to spice up a sex life within a marriage.





Open marriage can be many things, and some even become Poly relationships. Sometimes sex is not the main purpose of the secondary relationship. They can get emotional as well. Swingers intentions is to avoid emotional attachments at all cost.





There is a lot of research I would do before even trying, and would sleep on the idea for many nights, if not moons, because it has a lot of risk of ruining a marriage. If a couple is using open marriage and even swinging to improve a bad marriage, it will kill it. Most of the failures in swinging are a result of this. Not enough is known about open marriages because many do not advertise their relationships out of fear of all kinds of threats from family, friends, church and careers.





Swinging is slightly more understandable because it's just sex for fun. Open marriage can be a steady BF or GF while married. This scares people, and most start to question the marriage and morals especially if the secondary person stays with the married couple (bringing it home).
My husband had an open marriage with his EX. he said it was kinda fun at first, they were swingers and she (rarely him) often had relationships with other men and women. It hurt my husband that he was not enough for her, it desensitize him to intimacy and it hurt our relationship years later. I believe sex and love should come together, and he was trained to believe sex is just physical. So you really need to think about what sex means to you and what kind of relationship you want to have with your husband and if you could be able to handle him having sex with other women (or men??) and not with you ( or at least not as fequently).
I've never had an open marriage - wouldn't even consider it, but I can say that I'm still married after all these years and having an open marriage has had nothing to do with it. What's the point in getting married, or even having a ';partner,'; if one or both want to go outside of it - that's just messed up! Divorce him, he's not worth being married to...
firstly i think if you are going to have an open relationship i think it should be on both ends not just his, doesnt seem right...i mean if you were doing it aswell it would make more sense otherwise its just like hes cheating on you in a way with you knowing of course but still it doesnt seem fair to you, i mean really think about it you sitting at home by yourself while hes ******* some of other woman and then comes home to you and is all ';honey im home';....doesnt seem right does it? and then is he going to want to have sex with you? you might be seriously missing out....





hope it works out for you :)
Open marriage is a way to cheat on each other. Lets face it. He is not happy with you and wants to date other woman in front of you. 2s company 3s a crowd. How would you feel when coming home and there is some woman there in your bed.....
be careful...you have to fully trust one another....my exhusband and i talked about swinging....he is a very jealous man....that wouldn't have worked for us. are you or your husband at all jealous? if you are, it won't work...talk VERY extensively about this...be careful like i said before!
lived the opposite
An open ended marriage?!? On his part?!? That's messed up!
