writes:What exactly is an 'open' relationship? I know it has something to the effect that you can talk to other people also but what are the limits? I know that the couple can make their own 'rules' but what are most open relationships like? I previously posted a question about cheating, how I like flirting with other guys yet I want to keep my boyfriend and people suggested an open relationship so I talked to my boyfriend about it and he agreed but then started making all these rules such as I have to tell him if I'm with someone else and no sex...stuff like that. The thing is I'm not so sure what I ment by an open relationship if I don't even really know what it is....

Stupid and pointless. Its not really a relationship at all. Its just sleeping with whoever you want to. Better to just be single. Or have him just as a f**k buddy, no strings attached, meaning if you dont get some from anyone else you can have him. I think your boyfriend is not comfortable or happy with this idea. So for his sake break up with him and be single. Then you can do whatever you want with whoever you want

 If you want to keep your boyfriend and at the same time flirt and kiss other guys and maybe more,....why "keeping " your boyfriend to begin with ?? If getting male attention and practicing your seduction slills is more important to you than your boyfriend, it means you are not into him and you want to keep him around for selfish convenience.Let the poor guy go and then you can experiment all you want.
An open relationship - a non monogamous relationship in which both parties are free to have physical and emotional intimacy with other people- has very low chances to last anyway- but none whatsoever if both parties do not totally agree upon it. And your bf by setting limitations has already shown he is not comfortable with the idea.

 Wow.... really?? An open relationship?? Stupid. =/ How could you ever have a relationship with the guy if it's open? Well either way that's just my opinion. But an open relationship is when you and him are free to have emotional or physical relationships with other people.
