In your honest opinion how do you feel about open marriage? There was a episode on Ricki Lake the other day and I'm still amazed. *On the open marriage aspect I think I should let it be known that these people were already married for about 12 yrs before they started having a open marriage. At that point they had 3 kids and didn't want to get divorced.*
Also would any of you swing with your husband or have a threesome?
I know these are personal questions so if you don't feel comfortable answering feel free to inbox me.
Is open marriage where you sleep with other people but stay in the relationship to your spouse? No that wouldn't be legally allowed in our religion. Nor would "swingers" or 'threesomes, etc.' and that stuff goes against our personal beliefs. Now polygamy is allowed and legal in Islam (that's our religion). Wouldn't you be worried about getting diseases if you participated in the 'swinger'/'mass orgy' scene? That just creeps me out a bit. Also what happens in the event of a pregnancy? How many of these 'men' who participate in open marriage would step up and care for any children that they might have fathered? What is the point of getting married if you are going to pretend you are single?
Quoting RheaF:Honestly? I feel like, why even get married if you want to run around like your single?
IDK, in my marriage it is my husband and I. There is no need or desire for anyone or anything else in there. If either of us even suggested it, there would be cause for some huge problems.
They're already married with 3 kids before they decided to start the open marriage thing.

No update. This was just a show that was on Ricki Lake a few weeks ago and I wanted to know what other people thought of how the couple was living with their children and family
Quoting crissysworld:Any updates?
Ok... and?
They're running around with other people like their single. Not ok. No matter what they may think, it will affect their children and how they view marriage. They shouldn't stay together for the sake of the children while dating other people.

They stated that they don't want to split due to the kids. Their family and friends are all aware of their lifestyle. Oh and I never said it was ok..just stating what was said on the show.
