Discreet open relationship πŸ‘

Lol a lot of communication. Like "ok honey when you get home someone else will be in the bed with me. Feel free to join or sleep on the sofa"

@Deloitte1, we are in our mid 20's, live together, and have been dating 5+ years. Decided that we wanted to experience another aspect of being in our 20's without losing what we have. We have set guidelines (i.e. don't bring anyone to our place, constantly ask if the other is comfortable with the agreement, one can say "no, not comfortable" to something without explanation, etc.). Because this has the potential to be a sensitive issue, we have made it a point to continuously affirm that our relationship is the priority above all else. It has helped us lay out all of our insecurities and have the other person quell them. Unsure of how long we will maintain an "open relationship" but it has definitely only made us stronger and not been a detriment as many would presume.

Thanks PwC2. That is interesting, and it sounds like it works for you. I can definitely see insecurities and jealousy being a factor for many.

I know a few people in open relationships. Typically seems to be more stress and cause resentment and jealously. I'm not outright opposed to it as a practice, but I never could stand it.

And open relationship is essentially the new word for non-exclusive dating

I know two couples that make it work, but they are always on the hush and worried about parents or Dan finding out. Personally, I've always been fine with one at a time. However, I think that dating (steadily seeing someone that is not yet your official boyfriend or girlfriend) it is a good idea to date more than one to get a good idea of what you want/don't want.. With intention to eliminate.

I didn't realize this was such a foreign concept to people. Like I said, it's not for me but it's not a new thing at all.

I can't speak to how many people are in open-relationships without their knowledge, but I do believe that people tend to leave a lot not communicate in closed relationships. People pretend like their sexual desires are now only directed at one person and its taboo to think about others or mention it. Yes it's uncomfortable at first to discuss with your partner, but that doesn't mean those things don't exist. And maybe for some they don't and that's great. I would argue for most they do and that open relationships put everything on the table; I can now say there is not one thought that I don't feel comfortable sharing with the person I'm dating.

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty

I have been dating my GF for 3 years. I feel like I am not appreciated in the slightest bit - I get no β€œthank you”, I get no acknowledgement of anything I do for us. I’m not asking for her to bow down on like taking the trash out - but I mean some recognition every now and then would mean a lot to me. How do I bring this up?
