Bugger all to do with me either way really...totally up to each other how they see fit to sort their relationships. I can see the appeal of an open relationship..but I seem to be a bit odd in that, I have never even slightly undestood the whole jealousy thing. Its oddly something thats been thrown in my face fairly recently as something that says I don't love someone? That I DON'T kick off if some lass starts flirting with my husband or whatever, If anything, I find it quite amusing rather than it annoying me or me getting jealous ad whinging/kicking off. This means, apparently, I don't care about him. Where to me, it means I trust him ad just...don't DO the whole jealousy thing at all. Always seemed very odd to me, how posessive and stuff some seem to get. But each to their own tbh.
But yeah, it appears it is me thats the odd one on that one.
I don't think an open relationship is 'the equilvalent' of a monogamous one, as not really sure what the equivalent part is about. But both should be respected as the personal choice of the people involved, and neither is anything of anyones business tbh besides the people directly involved either
Maybe thats what was meant by that bit and am just being slow? (not surprising tbf!)
