Open Relationships

I'm a single male in my late 20's. I have had more relationships than I could count with my 10 fingers, and I have more break up's than a truck full of eggs on a bumpy road. I just told you I have all these break up's: well, not exactly. To be precise, we more of like parted ways, like roommates who's lease is up. You see, I'm not the type of person who would go for long-term commitments like couple relationships or marriages. I'm all for free relationships. In case you don't know what that means, it's that kind of relationship that has absolute freedom but with no responsibilities. I can come and go as I please, can hook up with a mature, consenting adult anytime anywhere, and as fast as I can get into a promising relationship, I can move out of it when it turns sour. Nobody can hold me back because I never promised to stay. In other words, in an open relationship I'm in a meaningful and satisfying relationship with people I love without ever hurting them.

I don't believe in marriage. They'd marry this year and they'll swear they'll love each other "in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, till death do us part", but the next year they are divorced, with shattered lives, broken dreams and torn children. People give love a bad name.

Passionate lovers are in the heat of the moment would promise the stars, the moon and the earth, but in the bored moments, they'll curse and spit. In their weak moments, they cheat and lie. Why do we always hurt the ones we love? Honesty issuch a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.

Thus I exhort all you who are sick and tired of being hurt never to give your heart to anyone. Give it to everyone but to no one. Love as many as you can, but never give your heart away. You have to get out into the world and experience all the things that life can give. Don't be imprisoned in a single commitment." Before you meet the prince, you must kiss a lot of frogs. “Collect and collect, then you can select."
