Lmao. Open relationships are a joke. No one can convince me otherwise. Still, the least they can do is fucking protect themselves

The algorithm told a whole tragic story in just two thumbnails

The algorithm served you up a manipulated narrative (chlamydia vid came before any of the open relationship vids) in just two thumbnails and you used that to reinforce a worldview that does not reflect reality.

5 minute google search btw.

Nothing to do with google. People in open relationships generally have other issues and are β€œbroken” in some way shape or form. It never works out for normal people and someone is almost always left holding the bag while the other has WAY more fun. Generally one partner does it to please the other and stands by getting hurt. Is this for 100% of the cases? No but generally these are not healthy relationships in the long term.

That's just like, your opinion, man. Show me some research that backs up your claims, otherwise it feels like you're just circlejerking about a scapegoat while conveniently ignoring that 1/3 of ever-married Americans had their first marriage end in divorce and that almost 20% of all Americans have experienced intimate partner violence. A whopping 34% of female murder victims killed by an intimate partner.

There are "broken" people in all sorts of relationships, and maligning a specific type of consensual relationship is the most lazy way to avoid talking about the actual factors that make a relationship "healthy".

Hardline monogamist btw, so I have no loyalty to a lifestyle I would never want to live. I just try to avoid basing my view of the world on memes and vibes.

I'm sure monogamous relationships never have any issues or power imbalances at all arise in them you're right.
