I am using internet since last 10 years, one thing in European countries and American people i saw. i met many girls and boys on internet and when i asked about their life and relationship, they answered me that they are in an open relationship, just for a little time, not for whole life, many young boys and girls live together without marriage, and after some time they leave each other and they break their relationship. this thing is not good both, why they waste their time? they make there relationship in a proper way by getting marry. give your ideas, am i right or wrong?

friendship is an agreement between two people that they will accept one another for who they are and help each other through struggles no matter how hard they are and if they've been through simillar situations, they help them the best way they know how without being too hard on them and allow them to be themselves because they are alike are opposite to one another in equal respects.

Relathionship is the way we trust, love, honost and spend our life with. That why it have to be bound by a married, cause in my believe it's forbiden (sin) live in a one roof without married. Some people afraid get tide by it, so they chose the way you have said.

I think their just not believing in matrimony anymore.. but still wanted to be with someone. just not to get lonely and for a companion alone. ofcourse thats it not healthy anyway because your both destroying yourselves in doing that. well thats my opinion on this

Hi Raheela, Welcome to MyLot! in today's world, the relationships are modernised. People want to try everything before they settle down. The same happens with the relationship. Boys and girls are willing to get all sort of experiences in life before they actually settle down with the one who they want to spend their entire life with. I don't think this is wrong but it can cause a lot of heartbreaks. I can't say if it is good or bad to be in an open relationship but it indeed gives individual the time and freedom to choose the right one.

I think many are just disillusioned with marriage when they see so many end in heartbreak and pain. I also think that's too bad because imo being too free can cause even more pain. Extremes are never good. Neither the old male dictated marriages and the giving up on marriage are good situations. I do wish society would place more emphasis on responsibility and building solid marriages for families than is presently being done. I think more education would be helpful. Give kids lessons in the real world before they find out the hard way. For example classes about relationships by couples who have struggled can be informative. Unwed pregnancies can in part be reduced by having girls who went through the process explain the hardships to others.

Being in an open relationship is becoming the norm in many modern societies. I don't think that it is the right thing for young people to go from partner to partner before getting married, but it is becoming more accepted. The more relationships you are in the more chance you will have your heartbroken more than once. I don't know if there will ever be a return to the good ole days, when girls saved themselves for their wedding night or man married girls that had not been around the block a few times.

I don't think your right or wrong. You are allowed to have your own beliefs, if that isn't how you choose to live then so be it, don't do it. This day in age, divorce is more than 50% of the time the outcome of a marriage. For me, marriage is forever, I believe that many people are to ignorant to work and dedicate tehmselves to a marriage of life. I don't agree with your statement but that doesn't mean either of us are wrong... or right for that matter. It's a choice we all are allowed to make. For me marriage isn't anything I will consider in the near future. I have two children and love them and can't devote my life to another when I need to devote myself to them. I am not proud of having kids out of wed lock but it happened and I am making the best of my situation.
