Open and relationship/marriage are a contradiction of terms. A relationship means relating to someone - you are the person for them and they are the person for you. Marriage is much more - although these days it's abused. There's so much more to be gained from loyalty and devotion than from an 'open' situation. Leave the lid open and all sorts of nasty creepy crawlies start getting in, even if they look deceptively lovely at first! So shut the lid - and turn towards each other. Other people can be friends, that's all.

I guess it depends on the self esteem and personalities of the people involved, but for me, no...it would never work. I believe that a relationship is between 2 people who are commited to each other, trust each other and want to be together. I have never understood an "open" relationship or marriage., If you want to play around why get married in the first place? That's just my opinion.

Marriage is supposed to be a commitment between two people who are devoted to each other. How can someone justify being married and still having sex with someone outside the marriage? Sex is much better with someone that you love and respect than with a casual partner. Anyone that says they love you and still wants to have sex with other people doesn't really love you.

If you are asking, I can only assume that you are not cut out for this type of relationship. Don't get married if you havent sewn your wild oats yet.
I am 25 been married since I was 22 and my wife and I are talking about splitting up because we both feel that we've never "played the field" and are not really personally satisfied.

This is not what marraige was meant for.. if this is what either you or your husband want... then it would be better to part!
It is not good to bring in other people who could potentially be better in bed then either of you and then you find yourself no longer satisfied by your spouse.
Not to mention std's ..... Why bother being married then?
And to bring that on to children.. and live in hiding from those who appose... it creates a chain reaction of deception!
