Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
Just for the record I don't have an open marriage nor am I considering an open marriage.
Anyway, Do you know anyone with an open marriage? If so, does their marriage and happiness seem any different to you than a non-open marriage?

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
In addition:
If you found out that a relative, or your friendly neighbors, or a co-worker that you respected had an open marriage, would it change your relationship with them? Would you cut them off or begin to keep your distance?

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
I don't know anyone personally but if that's what they like, I'm no one to judge. people have different reasons for doing stuff.

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
I don't know anyone with an open marriage. As much as I would like to say that I wouldn't judge them, I'm pretty sure that my opinion of them would change to some extent if I knew something like that. I wouldn't stop socializing with them or being their friend.

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
I think I would be worried that they would try to solicit me or perhaps DH...which would make me a little more nervous around them. Other than that it wouldn't change my view on them as people, it takes a lot for me to do that.

why would you think they would do that?
just because someone is single doesn't mean they push that on others?

they arent single...they are a married couple who looks for a third person to join them.

they arent single...they are a married couple who looks for a third person to join them.
and a single person is looking for someone to sleep with them....
either people respect someones commitments or they don't...but that could be anybody...
a swinger, someone in a n open marriage (which imo is the same as a single person anyway), a single person, a gay person...
could be anyone...
and an open marriage doesn't mean that they want a third person in their bed...just means that they are free to sleep with whoever they want...

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
Nope, but I heard rumors of 1 married couple that we know that they are swingers- and yea when I see them , which is rare- I feel a bit strange around them, but thats only b/c I cant see how they do that.

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
To my knowledge, I don't know anyone that has an open marriage.....
But I would definitely judge them, I mean...why get married and committ to one person if your going to sleep around with other people anyway? And how about diseases? I just find it disgusting, and personally I don't think they would be someone I would associate it.

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
My friend's parents had an open marriage. It really really screwed up their kids.
I think it's okay before there are kids involved, but after that I think it can be a little selfish and confusing for the family.

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
yes... a co-worker at my old job. i didnt have much respect for her before i knew though.. she always used to talk openly about her crotch problems, and would talk loud on the phone with her gyno while we we're all next to her (SMALL office)... hence why i needed to get out of that place.
anyway, i feel like whatever floats your boat. its not for me, but i wouldnt think less of people becaue of it (like i said w/ that other woman... i already didnt think that highly of her, so it didnt change anything)

the woman at my office used to do this too! To almost Everyone there!  it was very uncomfortable for so many people.
Also- did anyone ever see the movie Zebra Lounge.. with one of the baldwin brothers? it was a movie about this topic, and this one swinger couple became completely obsessed with the other to Unsafe measures. just offers the "possible consequences" aspect of the topic

Re: Do you know anyone with an open marriage?
Friends of mine have a "open" marriage...
Do you they seem happier...No! Actually I think they are both very unhappy!!!! They've only been married like 2 or so years and divorce has been an option so many times...
I think they enjoy partying together and the openes and freedom...I think they love eachother but I dont think they are in love...
Im not putting them down...what works for them is fine by me... You can just tell that the spark is gone though...
