Open Relationship Pros and Cons

This post is not about sex. Or it could be...I guess it kind of depends on how you look at it. So I got a question this past weekend. No, she's not a fellow reader, but she is one of my friends. So here's the gist. Right now she's in a relationship, but her boyfriend wants to have an open relationship OR try a threesome with her. Part of her wants to try both the open relationship and threesome. The other part feels like she should be enough for him. Now, I might be a little biased about this topic because I feel like she should be enough for him. She shouldn't be apart of that. I feel like IF he did love her like he said he does then he wouldn't be asking. After telling her about how I felt about it, I told her that although I might be against it whatever she decides I'm going to support her. She said she doesn't want to do the threesome, but she wouldn't mind trying the open relationship. After giving some thought about a person having an open relationship, I realize that there are some pros and cons to this. So here it is

PROS

- SOCIAL

You get to socialize with other people and not miss out on anything or anyone. Example: When you go somewhere by yourself or with friends and you find someone who is attractive, you can actually ACT on it. You don't have to look at the other person and say "sorry i'm in a relationship" and you keep wondering.

-FREEDOM

You get the freedom to do anything and experience with anyone. You don't really have to answer to anyone. Also you're not restricted by just one person.

-CASUAL

Everything that you do is casual. No strings attached. You can have wild and exciting sex.

-LOVE

You never know, all the social interaction you get, you just might find the one for you.

CONS

-JEALOUSY

Even though both of you agreed to do an open relationship, there might be some guilt or jealousy. You or your partner might be jealous of their "competition" Example: One day you can be telling your boyfriend how much you love them and adore them. The next day you're shagging up with someone else.

-ONLY ONE

Yes, you agreed to the open relationship, but you or your partner might want it to stop and be the "only one" again. The only problem is that maybe you or your partner might be in to deep to even get out.

-LEAVE

You never know, you or your partner might find "the one" to the point where they want to stop the whole open relationship and settle. Or like I said before you or your partner might want to stop and the other might be in to deep.

-MISTAKE

Uh-oh the girl that your man was messing around with or even you found out that you or her might be pregnant. Then that's when EVERYTHING goes down hill. The both of you will have questions popping up left and right.

I know that was a lot to read, but I hope that whoever is considering or going through an open relationship this might help. Personally, I wouldn't do this for myself because I think that you might as well be single, but there's no judgement to the people who does do this. Also, do you think I should just stick to sex blogs or should I do both relationship AND sex blogs. Until then BYE FOR NOW MY NAUGHTY ANGELS!
