I'm currently in an open relationship, and while others may think it's easier being in one, it isn't. Sure it means I Can give myself to more than just one person, as I am polyamorous and capable of loving more than just one person, but it does mean giving my time and love equally to each partner. Currently though, all my partners are male and all but one are interstate or over seas...So...a girlfriend would be very welcome into the mix..
A relationship,whether it is a love relationship, friendship, or family relationship requires lots of hard work and effort, especially with a love relationship, you need to have the utmost trust, honesty and respect. Without one you can't have the other two, and without them there is no love, no love means no relationship. You may as well just be friends with benefits, which is something I personally do not like or abide by.
