Open relationships are something I personally could not handle. For me, commitment means emotional and physical exclusivity, because that’s what makes me feel secure and deeply connected. I understand that some couples make it work through strong communication and trust, and I respect that choice but I know my personality. I get emotionally attached, and I value the feeling of being someone’s “one and only.”
If I were in an open relationship, I think jealousy and overthinking would slowly affect my peace of mind. I’d rather build something simple, loyal, and focused on growing together with one person. For me, love feels strongest when it’s shared between just two people, fully and intentionally.
