When I look anywhere else in the internet for advice about open relationships, it seems like the general consciences is the person asking to open up is either already cheating and is looking for an "ethical" way to introduce the new partner, or wants to leave their current partner and date others but are too scared to outright say it. I've read comment threads of people literally dumping their partner on the spot for even suggesting an open relationship. Another assumption is thinking that by wanting an open relationship, your partner is not dedicated or passionate about you, and you are nothing but a fling til someone better comes along. What do you usually respond to arguments like this?
