5-year open relationship: One couple's story.

The author shares their experience of being in an open relationship with their girlfriend for five years, where they are allowed to sleep with and date other people but with certain boundaries. The key to their successful relationship is open communication and trust, which has helped them evolve and set new rules as they go along. They believe that ethical nonmonogamy is not about demolishing monogamy but giving options to people who can't be happy with one person.
