Every person I’ve ever met who participated in an “open relationship” became the target of profound jealousy, or became jealous themselves.

I think it sounds appealing; 🌈my partner and I love each other but our hearts are too big to only enjoy one person’s company🌈 then their partner sleeps with someone else and they get all shitty and bitter.

My experience has always been “Are you sure your partner is ok with this?” --> “Yes definitely” --> The partner becomes a shitty rage machine. I had a guy corner me at dinner with my friends and yell in public because he was so jealous. He agreed to the open relationship. He was a hypocrite. All three of us suffered because he couldn’t handle it. He should not have been in an open relationship.

That was the worst one but I think it applies to most people. It’s a pipe dream that they don’t have the emotional maturity to actualize.
