do open relationships ever work?

I know of one that's pretty successful but they're both popular, alpha and super Chad/Stacy, so they just do whatever they want but I guess love each other. I actually heard the rumor that the Chad is not cool with it but it's what she wants so he fucks a bunch of girls to ease the pain. He's actually a nice guy and tried to hook me up once but I'm a sperg, gave me tips on what I did wrong and everything.

Thats my fear, that one partner will always be left hurting and compromising.

Communication is really the only thing that solves that. I am sure some hedonists are truly happy with that kind of set up.

What if only one of them is a hedonist, and the other is just more submissive to their will and eager to please?

Then through communication that's an issue a troubled couple could address. Doesn't sound like it'd be a happy relationship though.

I've been posting my story on other threads today.

I'm the other guy in a cuck relationship. Basically, if you the other guy, you have to keep sex and emotions separate. Most people can't handle that

I'm the girl, he's the guy that wants to fuck other girls and likes the idea of me fucking other guys.

Well it still stands. You have to keep emotions and sex separate.
It can and is lots of fun if you meet the right people, but it can destroy your relationship if done wrong

hahaha no like what the fuck is even the point

It's maybe cool if you're 19 and you just got into Vice Magazine or something, but otherwise it's not a relationship it's just fucking around.


Fucking around is fun, but let's not pretend it's something else.

There is no such thing as an open relationship.

You're either in a relationship or you're fuckbudies. Most open relationships are excuses for whores to fuck more people and retain the emotional support of their main partner. Avoid completely if you're looking for a stable relationship or you aren't a cuck.
