Can y’all explain open relationships. Why be in a committed relationship if there is no commitment? Like aren’t y’all just friends with benefits (is it not the same?)

different idea of commitment. You can be committed to growing in relationship strength and improving together, without also committing to not doing that with anyone else / specifically not having sex with anyone else. obviously splitting time between multiple people makes that much more difficult sometimes though

Personally I would never be in that type of relationship, I have tried it. It’s not a dynamic that can work for me because I’m a healthy dose of protective over my partner and I don’t like the idea of sharing my person. However, I understand that it is much different than friends with benefits because of the emotional commitment and future aspirations.
