I have actually head about this lots of times and i just wondered what it really means. I head in some people that it is just like being in a relationhip but at the same time you could also entertain other people and you could also choose at the same time if you like someone much more. But im just not sure if thats what it really means. I think its quite common seeing this especially in facebook but i dont actually get the right definition of what the term really means.

To me an Open relationship means you love a person But you are also see other people. And with some couples you and your partner Sleep with the same person . But all of this depends on the couple.

I'm not really sure on what i think about open relationship but i still like to share what i think. I think open relationship means the partner is reakky open in any kind of things and also in there emotions. They are showy im what they feel for each other. When one of the couple don't like what his/her partmer do it is easy for them to tell it. Both of partner can also always understand each other,they are open minded and mature enough to be in that kind of relationship..

Open relationship mean two person being together but didn't exactly promise not to see someone else as well.
I have never been in such relationship, nor did I intend to try. I see that as non committed and being disloyal.
However, these days people seems to have lots of interpretation for open relationship. I wonder whether they still it the same.

As far as I understand it, there is no committment involve at all and I cannot consider it as a relationship if each one of you are just fine to entertain other person.. that could be consider as flirting.
