Advice: Does polygamy work, because I love three women?

“I’m a 35 year-old journalist from Brazil and I’ve been dating a 22 year-old girl for three years now (she was 18 when we met). To make a long story short: after six months of dating, she stopped having sex with me. She says she hates her body (she is a little bit overweight, but I never minded that.) But I sayed with her and was faithful to her for two years, because I loved her.

Then she left me, claiming she was too young when she met me and she had to live and have experiences and so forth. We spent six months apart. During this period I dated two girls, and we hit it off pretty well, but when my ex wrote asking me to take her back, I took her back.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

Apparently couples who engage in open relationships are becoming increasingly cagey about what they get up to in their spare time with other people. Seemingly the ‘open’ part of ‘open relationships’ only refers to each party being open to being shagged by other people…. Now people are opting for a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) policy. According to trendhunters.com “Although full disclosure is usually a release valve for managing jealousy in an open relationship, DADT devotees aren’t concerned about knowing everything their partner is doing every moment of the day - even if it means they are sleeping around.”

‘Sleeping around?’ - Isn’t that what people in open relationships do?

I think it’s safe to say that human nature means that not only do we have conflicting ideas about some of the things that we engage in but that we like to complicate what is actually supposed to be the uncomplicated. DADT is supposed to give both parties license to do what they want as long as they don’t discuss it, but that says to me that open relationships aren’t really that open and that one way or another, there is a commitment of some sort to each other amd that whilst you can go out and shag around, somebody needs to feel that they are in top dog/#1 position.
