"I think open relationships are much better..there is no emotional burden" psk
This assumption may come back to bite you. I would refer you to the biographies of Sartre/DeBeauvior and O'Keefe/Steigliz. The extensive published material about these two open relationships should show you how heavy multiple relationships can be. Relationships are our contemporary temples. We learn more about ourselves through our most intimate relationships than anywhere else possible, if we are open to the awareness. There is endless beauty in the devoution of two people to eachother. However, it seems not everyone is capable of such intimacy or self discovery for myriad reasons. What is right for you may change over time, it may not. To each his own.
