Does open relationship really work?

[East]

A good rule of thumb I use...when the condition of two (or more) consenting adults is met I think anything is fine....

There are ALOT of reasons people get married. Religion tries to define marriage for everyone...and too many people let them. All relationships evolve along the way and if you consider the amount of people who break their vows and lie about it...***cough**straight people***cough***...having affairs for years while preaching morality and family values to the rest of us.....you will realize that open relationships when mutually agreed upon are far better unions that any relationship where one or both people are lying to each other.
