[[File:Open relationship.png|thumb|220x220px|The open relationship flag.]][[File:Open relationship 2.png|thumb|Alternate open relationship flag]]An '''Open Relationship''', also known as '''Non-Exclusive Monogamy''' is a relationship or marriage in which one or more parties have permission to have intimate (typically sexual) relations with others outside that relationship or marriage. In such a relationship there is a primary emotional and intimate relationship between partners, and those partners agree to (at least the possibility of) intimacy with other people. This is opposed to the traditionally "closed" relationship, where all parties agree on being with one another exclusively. |
