I was checking some friends' facebook profile randomly due to keboringan tahap tinggi. And I found one Malay girl's profile and I paused for awhile looking at her status.
It is stated there that she is in an open relationship.
I started to think. Is that for real? Or is that part of the so-called fun to be suddenly "married" when you are a loner in reality?
Maybe she IS in an open relationship with someone?
Maybe she just simply put that for fun?
Gee. I don't think its fun when it can reflect a slutty image of myself in certain people's view.Maybe she didn't even know what the hell is open relationship, as long as she is with her bf, maybe that's the right word to describe how open she is towards her bf and vice versa?
I can never answer this. But whatever it is, I really think there are some silly people out there who put their status to IN AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP without knowing what it really means.
Since I'm bored of animation assignment, allow me to do research for you.
There are many meanings behind this status, depending on the couple.
Definition 1
A relationship in which two people agree that they want to be together, but can't exactly promise that they won't see other people too. Basically, to have it all: a significant other and the freedom to
hook up with other people. Common during college for many post-high school relationships.
Definition 2
A relationship where one person does not own the other. The couple are not exclusively seeing each other and can date, flirt and hook up with other people should they wish to do so. In a true open relationship the couple will be fully honest with each other (unlike most regular relationships). They will not get pissed at each other for stupid things such as not ringing the day before, wearing a slutty top, passing out cold in a club, kissing that lesbian in the lift. Infact they will just love each other for who they are and support each other through times of need. Although other people will say they are sluts and it will never work, they onlys say this because they are jealous. In the end the couple will get bored of seeing other people because they realise they are the best two out there. Then they get married and have beautiful children. And retire together in Goa.
Definition 3
is when a couple has decided to see other people but still keep the relationship that they have and still have the same feeling that they had befor. it takes two very mature people to let you patner see someone else.
Definition 4
a). a facebook setting that allows you to give in to your sluttastic urges while keeping a "safety net" around in the event that you're unable to hook up with anything hotter.

Definition 5

2. Usually a long-distance relationship where the couple still want to be together, but one or both of them also wants to see other people. Occasionally used to test their partner. Sometimes causes heartbreak, especially when:

or
B: When the person in the long distance relationship didn't tell the new person that he/she was already in a long distance relationship before dating said person, i.e cheating.
Definition 6
Its ideal to have when two people are too far away from each other to have a real relationship, but still like each other. It's a way to see other people if the "need" arises, but still keep feelings for the one far away. However, it is especially important that you DO tell when you see someone else.
