9/16(Sat.) What is an Open Marriage? (Host:Michael)

文章 Michael-liu »

Definition
Open marriage typically refers to a marriage in which the partners agree that each may engage in extramarital sexual relationships, without this being regarded as infidelity. There are many different styles of open marriage (such as swinging and polyamory), each with the partners having varying levels of input on their spouse's activities.

The first hurdle in reading an article on open marriage (or open relationship) is to comprehend and distinguish all the terminology – monogamy, monogamous, monogamish, poly, polygamy, polygamous, polyamory, nonmonogamy – they look surprisingly similar but could refer to very different relationship structures. :shock: :?

I am very happy to hear Kooper said that open marriages will be a trend in the future. That is what I think as well.

The first article actually has many everyday expressions. It's good for me to learn and start using them in our meetings. I'll compile and list them later here as reference.
We reached out to Sara to share some insight into their journey to polyamory, the ground rules they've set

We became friends, and the rest is history.

He has never been a big believer in social constructions and tradition.

I am a bit more of a rule follower.

He didn't want me to feel like I was missing out on dating.

In hindsight, ....

He is a private person.

What type of guys do you go for?

One of my biggest takeaways from our relationship is that a successful relationship centers on honest communication and a strong connection between the couple

there are more to come...
