Ever since I seen this option on Facebook and people using it I was confused.  What the hell is an open-relationship?  What does it even mean.  It actually to me makes absolutely makes no sense.  I think we as people are so obsess with labels and titles.  I guess out of trying to find a definition and meaning of something, out comes names and stupidity.  To me, it’s either you are in a relationship or out of one.  When has there been a word for a translational move from a relationship into a no so relationship?

According to Wikipedia, an open-relationship definition is: “An open relationship is a relationship in which the people involved agree that they want to be together, but in which romantic or sexual relationships with additional people are accepted, permitted or tolerated. To large degree this is a generalization of the concept of open marriage beyond matrimonial relationships.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_relationship

But in the end does this even really makes sense?  Have you ever or have a friend be in an open-relationship and see it at work?  Is there rules?

Thanks for reading
Richardo
