- society values: you're such a tramp, I can't be your friend anymore.
- open relationship: what are you talking about? I'm just as happy and free as most people dream. Can you blame me?
- society values: shut up! you're mental! you are living a life of pure lies, and choose to ignore them? how can you enjoy this life of cheating?
- open relationship: don't you understand? lying to yourself and your partner is pretending you don't desire other people. plus, jealousy is something that destroys relationships so easily... we prefer to be honest, loving each other, and at the same time, having the freedom to be with whoever we chose, in a way that does not hurt. It's not cheating. It's living, and creating our own concepts of pain.
