Open Relationships: Yay or Nay? By:Milagros Reyes @milagreee

So your baller wants an open relationship. He wants to be able to see different women in different cities, but you’re the only woman that he wants in your city. Now depending on how you feel about having an open relationship, you might be able to be perfectly fine. You get the perks of seeing him whenever he is in town or when he flies you out somewhere while still being able to see other men as well. It all depends on how you feel about open relationships.

I have an acquaintance who is sleeping with a celebrity, of course no names, but he was decent enough to tell her in the beginning that it would always be casual. I feel that the honesty that this man provided was essential. The last thing she needs is to hear that shes the only woman he is seeing and get her heartbroken.

My friend, thought about this proposal and since she was also seeing other men, decided that it would in fact be in her best interest to keep this relationship with her baller, open or not.( he is FINE), and could possibly have any woman that he wants.

Now, if you’re like me, who can be a little old fashioned, as in I can only date one man at a time, you want all your mans attention on you. I do not share, call me selfish or old fashioned but I don’t like to share, not even my shoes, let alone my man. So that being said, a man who is selfish enough to ask me for an open relationship, knowing this about me, baller or not, better run before my foot kicks him.

Is it that ballers know they have money so they don’t really mind asking women to do (what i would consider)outlandish things that would normally offend some women? Do they feel as though they are entitled to any kind of relationship because they (lets face it) can probably have any woman they want? If a regular Joe asked you to have an open relationship, would you still consider it or would you think he was way out of line? Is it the fact that he is a baller that sways you towards an open relationship?

Depending on how open you are to that type of relationship, you might actually consider it. To each their own.

If you do consider to have an open relationship with regular joe or a baller, make sure that you respect each other. You do not need to share personal details about the other person that you were sleeping with. Although, its an open relationship, no one wants to hear about the man you were just with and the things he taught you. Make sure you set clear boundaries as to what is and isn’t okay to avoid future problems.

If you do decide to venture into this sort of relationship, please make sure you take the proper precautions. Having more than one sex partner gives you a higher risk of infection.Whatever floats your boat, peace, love and happiness.
