As long as everyone agrees and understands all the ramifications, you can have any sort of relationship you want. I personally wouldn't do it since I think a real relationship is only between two people. Plus, who exactly does he think he's going to be with, other Army dudes?

It didn't work for us. I cared too much about him so I started trying to talk less because I thought that's what you need to do to be 'open' enough for an open relationship. We both agreed we didn't want to hold eachother back. But if one of us got to "be" with someone else and the other didn't, do you think it would be hard to deal with that? If you decide not to talk about what to do, you'll wonder a lot. If this was going to work with me, I'd have to really lower my relationship expectations, as in back to crush/flirting status, to be able to deal with the idea. Then, when you get to see eachother, everything comes back and it's awesome, and then, it sucks again since you've gotten somewhat reattached. You have to have a real strong relationship (you might- 4 years) to go those sorts of changes and trust what you had will still be there after being with other people. If you think it can work, make the rules REAL clear, to give some peace of mind. In all honestly though, it turns out more like "I have a makeout partner when we're together" than a relationship.

Some yes, some don't. Depends how committed you are towards each other. But my experience is that they work only for a while. Good luck!

Sure why not? This is also referred to as "having someone on the line to reel in and sleep with when and if I make it back home to visit".....but if that's what you're into ...go for it!

maybe, someday, ........................................................... you take the chance of meeting someone you like better, and vice verse. Doesn't sound very promising to me. Why ???
