So my girl after 5 years finally wants an open relationship and gave me the go ahead to put the moves on my roommate who's super hot. At first I was all uptight cuz she'd be with other dudes but honestly I can't see going back to a "normal" relationship now, humans weren't meant to just be with one person it's in our nature to be with as many people as possible.

My question now is, does it make me a bad person? I dunno, just thought I'd ask.

She's probably done that because she has a lot of guys already in mind :P

It doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, but it also doesn't necessarily make it a "relationship."

Ouch....that's a negative if you think about it. She apparently wants other guys. Not really much of a relationship.

I think relationships are sacred, my parents have been together 30 years. But to be able to share something that makes you both happy doesn't mean that your relationship isn't a good, strong thing. Different strokes to move the world I guess.

Why not just be single? I don't understand the concept of an open relatioship when being single is the better option...

Maybe she was boning someone else as it was, then when you brought up that idea she saw a way to cover it up without seeming like a whore. Why don't you guys just go swinging together if you want to have sex with others? Cause she'll probably meet someone better than you, I mean unless it's as easy as "Excuse me ma'am would you like my penis in you" She'll probably build relationships with other men and 'new ones' always seem better then a exsisting relationship

If you're going to be in an open relationship, what's keeping it together besides that label still barely hanging onto the empty bottle your relationship has apprently become?

I see no point or logic in it. At all. Just be single or get together with that other girl. The whole point of being in a relationship is having certain intimate relations soley between you and that one other person. Otherwise it's not a real relationship. They require commitment or it just doesn't exist.

It doesn't make you a bad person.

Sex is different from love. Just be sure to separate the two.

Wow, I'm not at all surprised at how closed minded are about open relationships, and this is coming from someone whos never had one. A relationship involves a lot more than sex and most open relationships do have some sort of ground rules to them that both partners hold to. Its a partnership, it involves communication, trust and support sex is fun and if you and your partner are willing you might want to consider trying non-monogamy

That's absurd. I am totally devoted to my partner and we've been there for each other in good times and bad times. Physical intimacy, to me, is such a tiny portion of what makes a relationship as to be way down on the list of priorities. Now you can have your own different criteria for a relationship, but expressing your opinions as if they are some sort of universal truth is shortsighted and/or arrogant.

this means your girlfriend already has another guy(s) that she has been hooking up with for awhile. She isn't going to stay around much longer, probably just enjoying all the free meals and gifts. Dump her.

And even if this isn't the case what are the odds your roomate wants to be with you while you are seeing another girl?

And since your girlfriend seems to enjoy sleeping around, she probably already has or likely will contract an STD...which means you will be getting one.

So, yeah, enjoy all that.

EDIT: but w/e makes you happy. Just take what NAVIGATORGHOST said into consideration. It sucks when your girlfriend (YOUR girlfriend) got something from someone else. thats why its crucial and important and meaningful to keep it just at 2 people.

Do you seriously feel no guilt from this or do you just push it all away? I would feel guilt if I even thought about another woman in a sexual way.

That's what I meant, more or less with the intimacy thing. Because basically the only thing (generally) that seperates a friendship from a relationship is the intimacy. Because otherwise it seems you're just two very good friends.

Hmm, well the term "bad" is subjective. You steal if you're starving, you kill if it's necessary. But that realates to self-preservation not swinging in your case, so I digress.

If you feel you need to ask, then what do you think? Oh, and don't forget it works both ways. Careful what you ask for or you might just end up seeing your chick doin the deed with one of your friends. I think you're walking into a mine field with a blindfold on my friend, my honest opinion.

What I do might not seem right in your eyes but I think "soul-less" is a little much. I love my girl with all my heart, it's just something we enjoy doing together once in a while....why should that make us soulless?

She's probably screwing around with other guys so when you find out it will be even.

[QUOTE="AnubisCraig"]She's probably done that because she has a lot of guys already in mind :PHello_Skitty

She admitted she did, same with me admitting i had some women in mind. ;)

well that's good now i won't feel bad when i tell you i banged your girlfriend.

Lol...xD

I'll admit, that's pretty funny. :lol:
We don't do stuff without each other there though, so I doubt it. Still, pretty funny.
