Open relationship

An open relationship is a type of romantic relationship where the people involved agree that they can both have other romantic partners outside the relationship. This means that each person is allowed to have relationships with other people, but they must tell their partner if they are seeing someone else. They must also agree to be honest and respectful of each other so that both people feel comfortable with the arrangement.
