advice
(1)what's the difference between friends with benefits and an open relationship? (is it just that with an open relationship, you're actually in a relationship while you can do stuff with other people and with friends with benefits you don't actually have a relationship?)
(2) why would someone even bother having an open relationship when they can just be friends with benefits?
1. You're exactly right. FWB is just doing stuff with someone who you have absolutely no feelings for, and plan on having no feelings for. An open relationship is where you are technically in a relationship but can do stuff with other people.
2. I'm not really sure of the answer to that, I guess it varies from person to person. Some people like the idea of being in a relationship. It's like they're addicted to it- I know someone like that. So I guess it's a win-win situation for those people because they can feel like they're in a relationship, but also fool around with other people.
My response is that I don't think open relationships OR friends with benefits are good situations to be in. Generally, it's considered trashy and in poor taste.
