Non-monogamous relationships may still seem quite shocking to many people, but the truth is that everyone should live the way they like. If both parties express their conscious consent to a specific arrangement in which neither of them suffers, no one is harmed, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it – however, the mentioned conditions must be met. On social media, we can find many recordings of people sharing their thoughts on this subject or talking about the rules and boundaries that apply in their open relationships.
An example is a certain tiktoker named Danielle, who devotes most of her published content to the topic of non-monogamous relationships (@openlycommitted). She has been living in one with her husband for almost 13 years. In one of the recordings, she admitted that when her husband asked her to open the marriage, the idea surprised and saddened her very much. She didn’t hide the fact that it was hard for her to accept it at the very beginning. She realized that her partner wanted to let outsiders into the relationship.
I was hurt and confused and it made me doubt our relationship
– she said.
He has been in an open marriage for 13 years. “I would never read his messages or emails.”
However, all this has changed radically. Now – as he claims – they both feel great in this relationship. After 13 years, Danielle says she’s glad she agreed to the arrangement. In her opinion, polygamy healed their relationship and also helped them create a new space in their marriage. According to Danielle, their relationship is currently based on 100 percent partnership and mutual respect.
According to the woman, an open relationship gave them “a chance to experience more love in their lives.” Moreover, he claims that the open relationship cemented their feeling so much that there is practically no situation that they could not cope with together.
But they have certain rules, mainly regarding mutual communication and trust. Danielle revealed, for example, that mobile phones are a private sphere.
I have the password to my husband’s phone, but I would never read his messages or emails
– she said.
Open marriage. Internet users comment: “It couldn’t be me”
Internet users eagerly comment on tiktoker’s videos, but their opinions are strongly divided. One of them asked how Danielle feels when, for example, she spends time with her husband and at the same time the person she is currently dating texts or calls him.
“We don’t do that, and at least one of the things we both work on is being 100% present/putting away our phones (whether it’s work, friends, partner, etc.),” Danielle wrote back.
Some support her in this decision. “It’s nice that you have such honest communication,” wrote one of the platform’s users. But there were also people with a completely different approach.
I know two people who do this and I’m sorry, but it couldn’t be me. In my opinion, just be single. What is the point of being married?
– we read in one of the entries.
