I'm not totally against marriage I just see it as unnecessary.
I'm not totally against a marriage that also happens to be an open relationship either. I don't see marriage as necessary for commitment (and I never think absolute commitment is realistic in any relationship: if it's not working out and can't be redeemed then that should be the end of it) - and I also don't see monogamy as necessary for a meaningful relationship when there's lots of well earned trust on both/all sides. I would see a marriage as certainly meaning my wife was my "primary partner", but if she was still open to having sex with others then that would be fine too.
The main thing is trust is paramount. Whether in a monogamous or non monogamous relationship. In fact trust is of course the most important thing between close friends too.
I'm personally open to both monogamous and polygamous relationships... but I do like the freedom of polygamy. Just both partners need to agree on what kind of relationship they're in and no actual cheating is ever excusable.
I do think that if I were in a polygamous relationship that I may have one partner that I was closer to than the others... I do tend to have favorites
Openness and honesty is what it is about above all. There's nothing wrong with being single and having fun either
That's awesome too.
I think the ideal situation for me would be to be in a relationship with a female who I found very attractive and sexy and also happened to be one of my closest if not my closest friend, who I could trust and be open to her about everything, and for her to feel she could do the same - but there's never any pressure about any of that. And I also think that when you trust someone very much and they trust you very much back then that makes it much easier to also have an open relationship too, which is always fun and keeps things exciting
