Couple Tries An Open Relationship For A Month

did you watch the video? they literally said it made them closer and fall deeply in love with each other

[@Fmblogger04]

Isabella Oliveira yes honey we heard what they said. But when you have maturity and life experience you realise that most things are not literal and simple. In other words, actions speak louder than works, talk is cheap. It os clearly obvious that her actions and feelings do not align with her words. Neither of them look like they truly care about each other -- they both look like they are settelling. I can tell that he is not that into her, he only stays out of convienence. And she appears to like and care for him more than he does her.

[@Olivia-ou7gu]

I would never do this, and neither would my partner. It’s just another way for the man to cheat on his faithful gf/wife and get away with it because she agreed

[@olivia2172]

I just feel like I don’t have any desire to do that. Idk why someone would. I feel like when you’re in love with someone, you wanna be with only them and focus on only them. Sure other people are attractive and you can acknowledge that, but I don’t feel like someone would need to pursue that if they’re already with someone else.

[@Internadaluver]

Alyssa is not cheating if she knows and consented.

[@deadman2807]

Alyssa like jasmine djs just said she agreed so he can date and/or f whoever he wants because he did everything with her permission because they were in a open relationship. Saying what you said is like saying that they were going to a resturant for dinner but he went to a restaurant before with her consent and knowledge of him going there and then being mad at him.

[@crystalrose7643]

30 seconds in- it is a bad idea. 3 minutes in- definitely a bad idea.

[@imanel4632]

Jealousy doesn’t come from low self esteem necessarily. Your boyfriend is going on dates with other people and you’re clearly unhappy about it. Jealousy is the natural feeling in this case.

[@filmgirlLisa]

ugh! The worst part is that she looks like she's probably beating herself up for not being cool with it.

[@kayla-oo9wl]

Yeah I don't see why people are saying she's insecure or has low self esteem. Open relationships just aren't for her. They're not for everybody.

[@THOMAR624]

Iman El You can’t be jealous of a relationship you already have... they just need to break up and go their separate ways.

[@charlottecrane4622]

Nah to me this seems like when you hear about couples that have been together for years and the woman knows he's cheating but pretends it's not happening because she knows it makes him happy and she's scared things will end if she doesn't let him have his way. I dunno, they may be happy, but I disagree that she's upset she didn't have the same success. As soon as they started she wasn't interested in even trying. She only tried as a means to compete. I've also totally been the girl who's tried to be super chill and cool with something, then the jealousy hits and you wish it didn't but you can't help it.

[@hislord1]

@Grumpy Old Brit - 1) It's not cheating if they agree to it beforehand. That's the idea of an open relationship. 2) SHE suggested they get into an open relationship. So, no, there is not "abuse" here or manipulation.

[@emjaycub4814]

there really isn't a spark in their relationship... i don't see them being together for very long

[@thevioletoracle]

If you try something like this and your partner isn't super into it, you should stop. They're more of a priority than your new date.. She seems unhappy with the situation. Also 1.5 years is a really short amount of time to get bored with someone in any capacity tbh.

To me her eyes tell a completely different story to what shes saying, she looks so sad at the end. I think/feel that as soon as he sleeps with another person this relationship will be over because she is doing all this for him and shes just not into it for her. I may have it completely wrong but she really doesnt feel at ease and happy with this.

[@Fortissimo2012]

[@tinakershner2549]

I saw the same thing as you did. Her eyes looked sad. It's like she didn't want to disappoint him by standing her ground and saying no. The whole "jealousy comes from self esteem" was incorrect. I believe doing something for your partner that makes you sad or hurt inside to just please them is from low self esteem. Sad, so sad.

[@heyitsnataliec]

Unless both parties are completely and 100% comfortable and okay with a situation like this, then DON'T do it??? If there's even a little of hurt, jealousy, or sadness at all on either person, then you shouldn't be doing it. This is emotionally unhealthy and can cause serious damage. This was so sad to watch.

[@ValentinaWeatherspoon]

Heyit'smec sometimes people need space and time to work through jealousy and hurt. sometimes it's not always appropriate or it's their goal to change something so they need to feel it fully in order to fix it (if they personally think they want to fix it)

[@ValentinaWeatherspoon]

example...my ex boyfriend would always get angry and upset when I would hang out with people other than him. he is hurt because of his controlling ideas but that doesn't mean I should have coddled him and said sorry I won't see anyone else ever other than you

[@BeatriceGatta]

Jealousy is something you can work through, if you really want it. People in healthy open relationships are not robots, they feel jealous and hurt too, and that's ok, as long as you talk a lot about your feeling and don't expect the other person to put their genitals on carbonite to make it go away. Jealous people just need to work on themselves and find the root of their jealousy / insecurities, while the partner is there to offer support. I know it's easier said than done, but the difference between monogamy and polyamory is really all in how you manage jealousy: monogamous people locke their spouse up so they remove the trigger so they never have to face their fears, polyamorous people talk about it and learn how to cope.

[@kathulhurises]

As someone in a successful open relationship, I can say that jealousy and insecurity definitely still happens. It’s an emotion, you don’t control how you feel. You do, however, have control on how you deal with these emotions. That’s where it gets more difficult for people, I think. Not everybody is suited for open relationships or polyamourous relationships. Communication is extremely important.

[@darksavior1187]

Opening a relationship as some kinda cure for what isn't working in a monogamous one is very likely to fail.

If she has emotional baggage too strong for one other person, she should probably work on it instead of find more people to put it on.

[@fruitbythebecbec7165]

OKAY, THIS!! i know this is an old comment but if you "feel bad about the emotional baggage" you're putting on your partner, the solution is to go to counseling and manage it. take a break from the relationship and work on yourself. not find more people to put that on and expect all these people to carry you.

Yasmin, even if she was trying to it to make him happy, that doesnt mean she was doing anywhere close to the right thing by him.

[@bridgittefeldman7171]

monogamous**

[@GiaZera]

You're right. My main partner and I are poly (and parents, I might note). It was uncomfortable at first, and those moments will inevitably happen from time to time. On the whole, however, the experience has made our relationship much stronger. I can't recommend it to just anyone; most people's brains are hardwired for the traditional monogamous setup. Don't try to counteract your brain's hardwired functions, because it'll break you and may hurt more than being cheated on in the first place. I've seen it happen, unfortunately. Do what's best for you and your partner. If you want to try it, cool. If not, cool. If you do and it isn't working, cut it off and stick to your guns. Be safe, and happy tidings everybody!

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

I think it's only good for people who are happy, full/complete/grown/self-satisfied first alone and THEN in a successful relationship and then both are ready, still self-satisfied or complete/whole and are open enough to envision.and have that life + very good at communicating & dont feel the need to hide.

I could not imagine doing this with my wife. Sure, we all have attraction towards other people, but she's my world. I'm a very committed person. Even if we brought another woman into our relationship, my wife would always take priority in every way. Not sure that sounds like it could work.

[@AnitaBarneycastle]

Randy Lott as a general rule...women have an easier time getting dates than men. The playing field is uneven. the woman in this video hasn't been very aggressive in her pursuit of dating.

[@saarahjanexo417]

Anita Barneycastle I think it’s very important to note also that she was pursuing woman while her boyfriend was pursuing men, so it was probably much easier for him to find dates. A large amount of gay men rely on dating apps to meet other men, so it’s not shocking that he was able to get so many dates in such a short amount of time. Woman are usually less likely all around to use dating apps.

What you're describing is hierarchy polyamory. You have one primary partner with secondary or tertiary partners on the side.

An open relationship to me is being more like roommates with benefits then it does actually being in a relationship. I could never have an open relationship with my partner! I mean each to their own and all that, but thats my opinion.

[@poketvenus]

Nessie Jay having done both open and fwb, they are really different. Fwb is often mostly about the benefits, where as open dating feels more like making super deep connections, and finding people that fulfill different needs, much the way different close frienss are better at certain things than others. My bf is a super introvert and doesn't want to go anywhere or do anything, so I have a secondary who likes to go on adventures and play board games with friends.

[@nessiijay95]

poketvenus from previous experiences, you can have super deep connections on a fwb level too and thats what it seems to be. Saying a 'secondary just sounds super disrespectful (i mean its your choice, you do you and all that) towards that person. Personally, an open relationship is not for my partner and me (especially seeing as out daughter needs a stable lifestyle, not mummy and daddy going on dates with different people.) I cant see myself ever being with my partner and any other people at the same time, its still cheating to me.

[@nessiijay95]

An open relationship can be when you and your partner pursue different people. Now, every relationship is different and these all require a lot of communication. So a polyamorous relationship can be when you and your partner invite a third person into your relationship who you BOTH would like to date. I have poly friends who go on one on one dates with anyone looking to be their girlfriend because they both want to make sure everyone clicks. It's not like a religious man with two wives. But these are just the very basic concepts of each kind of relationship and if you want to learn more I suggest googling "open vs polyamorous relationships"

I know right? There is reason monogamy is found widespread across the Globe, monotheistic religion or no. It's the best, stable concept for maintaining family, breeding, protecting off-spring and more. Monogamy creates order and leaves options for all parts of society while all forms of "relationship anarchy" are selfish concepts where the prettiest and richest get everything and everyone standing at above average to abysmal in social standing get nothing. The more I see the excesses of post-modern society, the more I understand Christianity of old, Islam and such. Slaughter the whores, slaughter the cheaters and slaughter all the traitors, too.

they know after its been done, or even before. i understand their communication is on point, but like i have said i wouldnt be happy, im not saying they are not thats fine with me i just dont have the same views i could not sleep with someone next to me that has the perfume (to say the least) of another women

[@ErikaLindberg]

there's a kind of love where you love someone so unconditionally that the most important thing is their happiness. i literally cried happy tears when my ex found a new girlfriend who he was really happy with. his happiness makes me happy. (and he better invite me to their wedding tbh) of course in this video's case it's different, but i really just believe there's love behind it. i personally don't think i could reach the point where i would be comfortable with an open relationship considering my self-esteem issues, but i can understand how other couples are okay with pursuing open relationships.

[@jessicamaxwell1210]

The thought of having an open relationship makes my stomach turn. I couldn't do it.

You CAN be open and happy if being open is right for you. You can't force being open if you're monogamous

[@sarahn.2296]

Spoiler alert for the entire video: Him: I want to bone other people. Her: Yeah that sounds interesting we should both do that. I'm secretly hoping you won't find anyone though. Him: I found some people to bone. Her: I haven't found anyone to bone and I don't want to bone other people and I'm jealous that you have and do. Him: I'm having a good time not being with you. Her: I really miss being just us and I wish you felt as jealous as I do. Him: I'd really like to keep doing this. Her: It sounds like this isn't working for either of us. Him: It's working for me and I wish you would find someone else to bone like I am because I secretly want out of this relationship and I'm looking for excuses to break up. Her: I can't be with anyone except you. Him: I'm gonna keep seeking other people. Her: I'm telling myself that I like this open relationship stuff for my partner because that way I get the extra attention I should be getting regardless. My partner can't satisfy my emotional needs unless he feels like he owes me something and I can't understand how unhealthy that is. Him: I don't really care if she didn't enjoy this past month, I'm going to say that this was a success so that I can continue to seek out other people. Her: Yeah, whatever he wants to do, I'm just afraid of losing him.

[@T_AMC]

An open relationship can be a fulfilling relationship just as much as a monogamous one. HOWEVER 1. All parties need to be in complete agreement and understanding. 2. The people outside you're bringing into your relationship need to know what's happening fully they can't consent fully and that's shady as fuck. 3. This seems like cheating more than any other open relationship I've seen. She is obviously not very into it.

[@GazMatic]

Remember fellas. If she wants an open relationship she’s already cheated but is tired of hiding. So dump her immediately.

[@kbanghart]

Nah it might be fine

[@lorkhan8565]

This girl definately hasn't cheated..... no one wants to sleep with her.

[@townesking9133]

My partner and I opened our relationship and we’re happy! There’s hope.

[@townesking9133]

+emma ca1tlyn Oh I see... Are you doing that thing where you haven't gotten offended today; therefore, you just got have to get offended somehow in order to make yourself feel special?

[@mooncide_]

While I'd never do this, open relationships aren't necessarily terrible. As long as boundaries are set and comfort levels are not crossed, the experience can certainly be all one could hope for, for some people. I've heard of quite a few open relationships that have worked just fine. But open relationships are NOT things people who don't feel the most self assured, confident, or comfortable with should get into. If you are making a conscious choice to get into one, make sure you don't have any doubts, and if you do, be vocal about them. Because relationships are built on communication after all. Like I said, I personally would never be in one, but hey if it works for you, I won't be one to judge and I wish you the best.

Most of my relationships have been open and the number one thing that makes or breaks it is communication. You have to let the other partners know what’s going on otherwise it just won’t work.

Josephy Xiong LMAO

[@IAmNotYourProblem]

Josephy Xiong exactly. I'm pretty sure they will be broken up in a few months. It's really sad because she was mentioning marriage and he was like "3 dates in 1 weekend". The man is sexually unsatisfied with her and instead of trying new things and talking with her he is gonna go for other women. It's so sad. If you're in an open relationship it doesn't mean you have to go on dates all the time. If you're not jealous, you don't really love them romantically. It's human nature to be jealous when it comes to lovers.

[@deadman2807]

[@deadman2807]

Mrs M A E and second off if your not jealous thats your personality. Ive seen some people who are not jealous at all

[@asmith006]

very narrow thinking if you ask me

[@kieleyevatt2232]

I think people who enter a relationship with the idea of polyamory in mind tend to fare well, but people who are naturally monogamous often try to force themselves into polyamory to avoid the unpleasantness of an already dissolving monogamous relationship. It's like instead of owning and maintaining multiple houses, you buy a new house but keep the old one just because you're afraid to let it go, but it's already decrepit and falling apart.

[@kiki29073]

No. Just no. He wanted his cake and eat it too. She did it to appease him, not for herself. She was terrified that he would find someone else

[@iamtanmay]

It looks like he wants some other cake than what she is offering. He should just leave and find someone he likes more.

[@kaylahillard4068]

everyone seems to miss that she is the one who initiated the open relationship not him

[@_jhynh]

silver0lilly yeah, she initiated it bc he probably was showing signs way before and she was appeasing him like OP said.

[@Saiege]

exactly. He immediately jumped into these other dates right off the bat

[@iridescentsquids]

"She did it to appease him, not for herself." Maybe both? There's no doubt she benefited from the experiment. By directly addressing her partner's curiosity a huge amount of her own uncertainty about him seems to have been lifted. And clearly her own self-esteem was bolstered. Doubt about herself and uncertainty about him seemed to be eating at her, and she felt better in the end.

[@alyssa9607]

Sometimes open relationships seem great and work really well. But this couple wasn't ready and it wasn't right. Especially when they were talking about how they hope they don't find someone they have a connection with someone else. In an open relationship, your partner shouldn't have doubts about whether they will leave them or not.

[@RHR1991]

Polyamorous relationships are BS. Anything in life that is worth it requires a certain level of sacrifice (you want a big house, you have to work hard and make money; you want to be very intelligent, you have to read and study for a long time; you want abs, you have to work out at the gym, etc) and the sacrifice for a solid romantic relationship is precisely that, a monogamous sexual life. Sacrifice makes people grow and if you just get rid of it then the rest has no value.

Why do they have to be monogamous?? Other than our culture saying so.

RRW0601 you don’t have to be monogamous if you don’t want to. If you want a strong solid relationship then monogamy is the work you put in for it.
