Open Relationship

You have one core partnership at the center — and you don't believe that center has to be a locked door. You and your partner make room for outside connections, mostly sexual or lightly romantic, with honesty and clear agreements keeping everyone on the same page.

The bond with your main person stays the anchor. Openness adds experiences and freedom without trading away the security of a committed home base.

• Agreements need revisiting — what worked at the start may not fit later.
• “Just physical” can grow feelings; name that possibility early.
