Open To An Open Marriage?<\/h1>\n

So not too long ago Monique’s<\/a> husband was quoted as saying he didn’t mind if his wife got her sex on with another man:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re saying that if by some chance that you hear scandal and you hear that Mo\u2019Nique slept with another man, it won\u2019t be a need for a press conference because I\u2019m going to say, \u2018Why are y\u2019all tripping off that? Because that\u2019s what she did. Did she sleep with that man and you?\u2019 That\u2019s not a deal breaker for myself \u2026 We are logical enough to understand that things like this do happen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Monique has also been quoted as stating that she has an open marriage and she’s okay with that. Now I know Monique isn’t the best example to use of a person having an open marriage. She isn’t known for her stellar choice in men (first husband was a criminal and illiterate) and her decision to have an open marriage reeks of desperation. You know, the fat girl wants love so she will agree to anything so she can have this slim, half-way attractive man.<\/p>\n

So the question is, is an open marriage ever okay?<\/p>\n

A while back Will Smith made a comment along the lines of him and Jada not breaking up should someone dip out as long as it was something that was talked about first. That simple comment sent the black blogs ablazin’ as folk who don’t know Will and Jada from Adam and Eve were in a tither at the mere idea that the two might have a marital arrangement outside of the norm or what folk would consider acceptable.<\/p>\n

I’ve never quite understood why people get all up in arms over what consenting adults decide to do in their relationships. I’m of the opinion that as long as the two parties involved are completely okay with the arrangement then it isn’t any concern of mine. People have the right to set the terms of their relationships without approval from the masses.<\/p>\n

So once again I ask: is an open marriage ever okay? Why or why not? And could you see yourself agreeing to such terms in a relationship?<\/p>\n
