Are open relationships practical?

Loading player...
KZN, we are in an entanglement! Remember, this is a judgement-free zone. We asked KZN about open relationships and whether or not they are practical...

For example, what are the benefits of an open relationship? What are the do's and don’ts? What must you be able to understand before you agree? There is just a lot of thought that has to come into play before you let a third party join your relationship.

But for some, it comes easily and naturally, as they prefer it to a normal relationship. Each to their own, right?

But, KZN, we want to know from you, are open relationships practical?

And if the tables were turned, would you be game if your partner did a U-turn whilst in a relationship with you and said that they may want to see other people whilst still with you?

Listen to what KZN had to say
