sharing a man/woman

Without having to think about this for a second: No, never.

I follow the idea that you should treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. I never had luck in love yet, but the moment I find the right girl for me I would hate it if other men would try to come between us. Hence I also don't want to commit that "sin" myself and come between two people already in love. It's just a simple principle. If she is in a relationship, don't try to tear them apart, you would not want it to happen to your own partner neither...

dealing with just one other human being is mind-boggingly complex as it is, i simply cannot imagine what it would be like to be in a triangle. the poly people here who do this sans drama must be some awfully-high-functioning aspies, akin to bill gates and such.

I would not do it, but I have no problem with anyone else doing it if it works for them (and so long as everyone knows, as TEGH said).

Love triangles do not work. Someone will always favor one or the other. It's just a drama bomb waiting to happen.
Open relationships will always leave someone feeling empty inside.

I seriously believe people are trolling here on purpose.
There's so many fish in the sea, if one is taken..just like Jay-Z says..."On to the next one!"

i can't help but feel there are lots of big fish in a little pond here.

I have 2 partners.

I have been dating my first partner for over 2.5 years now.

I have been dating my second partner for over 1 year.

It works for us but will not go into details as this is not the adult forum.

That's kind of how I see it, too. I'm sure that there are some people for whom open relationships work really well, but I think that for a lot of people who enter into them, there may be a gap between what they think they want and what they can actually handle.

If the person was in an established open relationship, sure.

If the person was not, no.

I think the key to the open relationship is both partners need to be on the same plane dating. If one can get more than the other, it'll lead to resentment.
