Today, I realized that having an open relationship isn't all that great, when my boyfriend hooked up with his ex and dumped me for her. FML

A relationship is like a circle. When a circle is open, it's not a circle anymore.

Open relationships are like getting drunk on a Tuesday - it may seems like a strange idea at first, but then it starts to seem like a great idea, then it gets better and better and better until at the end it ******* sucks and you're left drooling and crying on the toilet.

I heard about a couple of great open relationships and they always say that they have great communication. Personally, I'm not the type to have an open relationship but just because it didn't work for OP it doesn't mean it shouldn't work for somebody else.

Technically true, but like dating a co worker or a friend is can go well usually it doesn't. The odds aren't in your favor and the odds of it working are small compared to risk involved and what could be lost when it doesn't go well. Generally, people wanting an open relationship use it as an excuse to full around and that's it.

The odds of a relationship working aren't actually in favor of those involved anyways! Think of how many relationships people go through before they find "the one" and then they get married. Then think of the divorce rate.

Yes, but when you involve friends it can damage friendships and potentially ruin your career in work. That's why it is frowned upon in the corporate world. You shouldn't mix business with friends or relationships with friends for that reason. Still some try and sometimes it works a lot of the time it doesn't and the damage it can do can be for worse. RISK vs REWARD has to be considered.

open relationships suck because they are open

To the people saying that OP deserved this because they are in an open relationship- You are wrong. My girlfriend and I are very much in love, and are by absolutely no means "**** buddies." When you're in an open relationship, there is a difference between sleeping with someone and actually engaging in romantic relations with them. I would NEVER even think to leave my girlfriend for somebody else. Our relationship in the most stable and loving I've seen a relationship be, and problems due to our open status have yet to arise. Heck, we even sleep with the same girl! Tldr; I am in an open relationship, and it is just meaningful than a monogamous one. As long as the couple is in love, and both parties are alright with it, sex with somebody else won't make it any less so!

I am currently in an open relationship and it is the most satisfying relationship I have ever been in. Since we have opened the relationship we have experienced a greater level of love, commitment and trust than ever before. Just because it isn't something you are interested in doesn't mean it doesn't work for other people. It's sad how many people are blaming the OP because she trusted the wrong person who couldn't handle an open relationship responsibly. I find it interesting that when she said she was in an open relationship people said she deserved it that he ran off with his ex yet I have seen many others with boyfriend running off with an ex and people were sympathetic. He probably would have run off with his ex regardless of if it was open or not.
