Are you ready to have an open relationship?
Do know what it will ask of you emotionally to have an open relationship?
In many open relationships the first relationship is the primary and other relationships evolves around it.
Family feelings
For many couple who have an open relationship does not feel threaten because they hold on to a family life where none of their friends or family may know about their sexual life.
The other people who are lovers most of the time in an open relationship do not live with the couple.
Who are you pleasing
Having an open relationship is not for everyone because not many people believe it is good for the couple.
Not everyone thinks that it is morally good.
Who are you pleasing when you decide to have an open relationship yourself, your partner or your family tradition?
Emotionally comfortable
If you do not feel that you will be jealous seeing your partner with another person and that you will be emotionally comfortable then your chance of success in an open relationship is higher than most people.
Secondary relationships which are relationships outside of the marriage sometimes are not so clear although you may have rules or agreements because people have conflicts and their emotions cannot be control about who to fall in love with.
Demand
Having an open relationship may demand from you to be more flexible and open to different people’s vibrations and needs which may not be the same as yours.
It may ask of you to do thing that you never did, it may ask of you to hold back on your emotions and not allow yourself to get too involve in case you fall in love with another.
It may ask of you to get along and work as a team and not the primary person in the relationship.
Rules
For some people who get into an open relationship create rules meaning they will go as a couple only and they may agree to have one couple at a time or more than one.
They may also agree to no contact outside the agreed place they meet as a couple.
Others agree to have an open relationship as a single person and agree to not talk about their other relationships outside of the home.
Their partners may know about the other relationships and they both agree to have rules so that things are clear.
Feeling secure
If feeling secure in a relationship is your number one priority then an open relationship maybe too confronting for you if sharing your partner is difficult for you.
Freedom is important
If freedom is important to you and commitment to one person may make you feel tie down then having an open relationship you may consider much easier.
Your life style
There are many different types of open relationship and some may not fit with your beliefs and your life style knowing yourself and your need can give you more insights to what is best for you.
Part of your needs can be the feeling of honesty, the desire for privacy or not sharing with a group and to have your partners share the same thinking.
Conclusion : Having an open relationship as a life style is not for everyone and there are many things to considered before entering into this way of living.

For the new beginnings what are we supposed to do when we are having the making up relationship?
Alone again? Perhaps it’s time to invent a new beginning. A little “solitary refinement” will help. You can do that most effectively by working on you; preparing for love . . . alone. There is no shame in starting over. How do you work on YOU? You begin by paying attention to what you need to be fulfilled as an individual. Focus on YOU! Self inquire!
Here are a few questions to help you get started. Are you happy? Sad? Disappointed in where you are in the relationship you have with yourself? Angry? Resentful? When you are alone, do you feel lonely? Are you always blaming others for what happens to you? Do you have regrets or guilt about the last relationship that didn’t work out the way you had hoped it would? Do you know that something is missing in your life and you are not quite sure what it is? Are you always looking back?
Do you know what it feels like to live in the present; to really be present to what is going on? Do you know specifically what you NEED from a relationship? (Have you really ever thought seriously about that? Make a list.) Are you feeling sorry for yourself? Do you continue to attract the same kind of people from one relationship to the next? Have you yet to reach a point where it becomes pointless to complain because you now know that relationships are what YOU make of them? Have you lost touch with the spiritual side of things?
Have you forgotten to be grateful for what you do have instead of feeling resentful for what you have lost? Do you know down deep inside that there must be something better? These are just a few questions you can answer that will cause you to begin to understand that no matter how hopeless or how great things appear to be, they can always be better.
What else can you do? Get totally honest with yourself. Start holding yourself accountable for who you are in the matter; how you feel about the way things is. When you do, you will learn that it is time to stop blaming your former love partner and start taking full responsibility for YOUR share of the problems that caused the break-up in the first place. Relationship problems are NEVER only one person’s fault. If they affect you, the problems are shared problems. If you are together, you can work on them together. If you are alone again, you must work on them alone. Of course, you can choose not to, and there are consequences.
When you decide (and only WHEN you decide) to do something different, you must promise yourself (a promise you intend to keep) that you will do everything within your power to be happy instead of holding on to being right. In other words, discontinue justifying what doesn’t work and begin to do something different. Is there more you can do? Read good books about relationships that stimulate your thinking; that inspire you to a better way of living. Attend seminars and workshops, not just about relationships, but those that empower you to change the way you have been. That’s the smart choice because the old way didn’t work very well, did it?
This could also mean dropping a few of your loser friends. You know who they are. Hanging around people who bring you down does not support a healthy love relationship with you or anyone else. Become involved in a support group; one that supports you in being a better you; one that uplifts your spirit.
Begin to journal. Get honest with how you FEEL about things; how things “really are” instead of how you “think” they are. Write it all down. Be honest with yourself! Spend a lot of time thinking about what’s happening right now, instead of dwelling on the past. There is no future in the past. Being concerned about something that has already happened; something you cannot change, keeps you stuck. To begin again; to really move ahead, you must work on YOU! Let go of the past.
What are the benefits of working on YOU? One of the rewards for working on you is that you begin to feel good about who you are! You begin to love you again! Not the self-cantered love that distracts you from being loving to others, but a genuine love-of-self; the kind of love you can share with others.
Loving yourself for who you are causes you to feel like a whole person again. When this occurs, you may be ready for another relationship . . . when it shows up. Not before. Unless you work toward this magic moment, you may always continue to be disappointed with the relationships that show up in your life. Opposites do not attract. That’s a myth. Remember, like attracts like. You attract to yourself that which you are. You always have. You always will.
If you cannot handle the most important relationship in your life – the one you have with yourself – then you will never be able to truly relate to a relationship with two people in it. We spent so much of our time being concerned about the relationship we are in with someone else, which we forget about ourselves. This is called “losing yourself in the relationship.” This can never be a healthy way of being.
Working on yourself takes discipline, determination and doing something different. For lasting change; the kind of change that makes a difference, you must “change your behaviour.”
The relationship we have with ourselves and the relationship we have with others takes intentional effort. This, we know is true: “We must work on relationships ALL THE TIME, not only when they are broken and need to be fixed!” Relationships should never become a struggle. They become a struggle when someone is not pulling their fair share of the load.
It is difficult to feel good about yourself, when you know you are letting your love partner down by not giving yourself your full attention. You take care of you – your partner does the same. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to pay attention to the overall relationship unless you both know how to focus attention on yourselves first. Two broken people can’t fix each other.
You only have the choice to fix you! To invent a new beginning, you must first acknowledge the problems that require solutions. To fix yourself, you must never stray from the path of self-discovery. You must always know where you stand with yourself. The only way you can do this is to be attentive to, and intentional about having the best relationship with yourself that is humanly possible.
When you are ready; when you have given yourself adequate time to prepare for love again . . . a relationship with someone else will be there. You will find each other. Imagine the possibilities? Two whole, healthy people, together! Each feeling good about themselves; loving themselves and sharing that love with each other. Can you imagine both love partners working on the relationship they have with each other and supporting each other in their own personal growth? If you believe it, really believe it, and make sure you are always doing the best you can to cause it to be this way . . . anything is possible! What to do? Don’t waste time. Begin again . . . now! Never stop working on YOU!
Indeed, life is short. Don’t let another day go by without taking a chance on happiness. You will never know until you try, so remember to make a move today. It can change or affect the rest of your life, therefore, at the very least, you can try to come out something for your ex love partner during your weekend plans.
