I agree, it it such a hard mindset to get into. Both people have to be of a non-jealous mindset and set parameters to the extra-relationships do not get over emotional. I am close friends with a couple who managed and open relationship for 5 years, but it failed ultimately because she was more successful than him overall in pursuing extra-relationships. I don't think it is a good idea for the long run, perhaps something to experiment with in younger days but impractical- think about if kids were in the mix.

I was in one for a little bit. Even though neither of us took advantage of it, I didn't like it. For one thing, he was still hung up on this other girl he knew who was about to get married and who, in my opinion, had never treated him well. I do think they can work, just not for me.

We tried it. When we both finally took advantage of the opportunity, neither of us handled it as well as we thought we would. So, it's not for us. Our relationship is unbreakable though, we both just had to realize that sometimes we kid ourselves about what we can deal with emotionally, even though our logic tells us we should just want our partner to be happy and have fun....we had to learn to be more selfish.

My last non-open relationship ended when I had just turned 18 (am 20 now). I can honestly say a closed relationship makes me feel miserable and controlled, and pushes me away from my partner. I'm not a sexually jealous person, and need a partner who feels the same.

Like every other relationship factor this is a completely individual opinion. I can't. I don't share well. With most things My ex-husband and I tried this and it was the proverbial straw.
However, I have a couple friends in open relationships that have better balanced and healthy relationships than any of my married and monogamous friends. One just had a baby and that doesn't seem to have put a wrench in the works.
It's all about the people involved and how they've learned to think about relationships and their interpretation of love. It's also more likely to succeed if you're talking philos over eros. Sex is great, but if you don't like the person beyond the physical even a monogamous couple isn't going to last.

Absolutely not!! Engaging in an open relationship is just fooling your self that it will really last. Committed or serious relationship often leads to break up, what more an open relationship?
hhmmmm....

Hi Hillary
On my point of view the Long Distance Relationship is not going long. It is only possible between wife and husband though who live together. But if they stay far to each other then is some time make difficult. On other hand with lover its impossible to maintain distance love.

It cannot be stressed enough how important communication is for every relationship, especially if it is an LDR.

wow, amazing. noooo they don't work. karma is biatch people! if you really love someone in a ldr then you are not going to want to be with someone else, duh! and if u are ok with it then u obviously have no expectations of wanting to be love so whats the point in a ldr, just soon be single if u want to whore around. what a boring subject this is.

couples in long distance relationships need to connect regularly, be ok with talking about their feelings and be open to reassuring each other .

I wish I could find such informative sites more often. I regularly spend much time on lust looking for some worthy sites when I can find something to read. Your site is surely one of them. I wish you further success.
