6 Open Relationship Rules You Must Know
4. Be open and honest
There should be no reason for you and your partner to be dishonest about your other relationships if you have chosen to be in an open relationship. The whole point of being in an open relationship is to be open and clear about everything. Showing each other honesty will help you to see how your open relationship is going and how you should deal with it in the future.
5. Don’t allow jealousy to crop up
Jealousy is a primal feeling that exists in all humans and surfaces according to the situation. You can put up a brave face and say that you and your partner are in an open relationship but you too may become a victim of jealousy at some point. No matter how practically you view your open relationship, you and your partner are human and you can start becoming jealous of each other’s partners over a period of time. You should either eliminate the feeling of jealousy entirely or talk in advance about how you will deal with such a situation if it arises.
6. Don’t take your partner’s feelings for granted
Make a rule that you or your partner will never take each others’ feelings for granted. If you are going to be in an open relationship, it is easy to get carried away and forget that you are still emotionally involved with your partner. This can ruin your relationship completely.
