Do Open Relationships Affect Life?

The Institution of Marriage Is Suffocating

Our age-old tradition advises the couples to remain married irrespective of lack of marital bliss. Even when either of the partners was not happy with the marriage, she/he remained in it, only because they didn't want to challenge the institution of marriage.

It was easy for the husband to satisfy his lust outside his loveless marriage, as there was nobody to question him. But, poor wife had to suppress her desire, only because under patriarchy Krishna with more than 16000 wives gets easily accepted, but a cheating wife is termed as a witch!

Today's generation girls take it as an outright injustice, when it comes to being in a suffocating marriage and therefore, feel that an open relationship is much better than a contractual relationship termed as "marriage."

Live-In Relationship Too Eventually Turns Into Possessive Relationship

Yes, sadly it has become a reality. It was thought that a live-in relationship is an answer to avoid marriage, if one wishes to have love as well as freedom.

Rules Of An Open Relationship

However, it is often observed that after a while, one of the partners gets jealous if she/he finds out that her/his partner is interested in someone else.

The whole purpose of giving "individual freedom and space" in this relationship is questioned. So, it's not unusual, when the harassed partner thinks of having an open relationship.

Thrill of Experiencing Physical Intimacy With Multiple Partners

This is the most important reason behind the very idea of having an open relationship. A girl or a boy in an open relationship feels that why settle for a small patch, when the whole ground is available, to experience variety and also spice up love life? Can they be termed shameless or immoral? You can, if you wish to be some moral police!

So, open relationships have become the reality of our generation. Should we accept them without any hesitation with open arms? Now, this is a question, which needs serious thinking. If you step back and think about the cons in this relationship, maybe you will think twice before plunging into one.

Your Love Life begins on Distrust and Lust

Open relationships can boost your libido. But, remember, you will never win love and trust of any of your partners. Love is built on faith and loyalty. Your lust can fetch you multiple partners, however, they will discard you readily, once you lose your health, wealth and charisma.

Invitation To Dreaded Disease

Health organizations worldwide advise about limiting sexual partners, when it comes to protecting oneself from getting infected with HIV.

Why Some Relationships Are Fragile

Though there are devices to shield you from this fatal disease, none of the devices are considered as fool proof. Thus, in open relationships you will be openly inviting yourself to health risk, which you very well know can be easily avoided.

Difficulty In Finding A Life Partner

The time comes in your life, when you wish to settle down with your loved one and enjoy the bliss of companionship or marriage. But, the problem is, who will agree to be your life partner after knowing your history? Who can trust your genuine intention? The fear will always grip the other partner that you might dump him/her, anytime you get attracted to someone else.

So, in short, if you are thinking about having open relationship, think twice, because there is lot at stake, when it comes to your health and quality of life.
