Casual Relationships


So, I've been having interesting conversations with people (aged 22-32) regarding their views on casual relationships (as opposed to being in a committed relationship). Basically what this entails is getting to know someone for a short-term relationship, sleeping with them and then moving on, no strings attached. The rules of the game are made clear right at the beginning. Most of these people are successful in their careers, make decent money and consider themselves morally righteous. Eventually they would like to settle down with "the one" and live happily ever after, meanwhile there's no harm in having some fun.

My questions to you dear readers are:
1. Would you reveal to your future spouse/significant other that you've ahem... done the rounds?
2. If yes, would you spill the beans pre-engagement? post-marriage?
3. Would you be comfortable with your spouse/significant other having similar experience?
4. Can you still be "friends" with someone after having been bed-buddies?

  1. Hiho

    Since Qs 1,2,4 doesn't (at all!) apply to me, I'll only answer Qs. 3. And the answer is a resounding NO.

    *very indignant*

    PS: You're not talking about Pakistanis right?

  2. 1. Would you reveal to your future spouse/significant other that you've ahem... done the rounds?
    Yes I will. I would never do such a thing anyways. I think it is highly unethical.
    2. If yes, would you spill the beans pre-engagement? post-marriage?
    If i EVER become that unethical to do something like that, I will tell pre-engagement.
    3. Would you be comfortable with your spouse/significant other having similar experience?
    NO.
    4. Can you still be "friends" with someone after having been bed-buddies?
    NO.

  6. I think 1 night stands no strings relationships are much better than breaking some ones heart.
