The difference between Poligamy or Monogamy and Open Relationship, is that the last one is not something established by the society, culture or system. It's a personal choice. If I find someone who I develop a strong connection with and compatibility and both of us decide that we would like to keep our independency while still having some commitment with each other, what the society has to do with that? I'm glad I can make my own choices without being influenced by what people expect.
As I keep repeating, open relationship is a personal choice. It's not for everybody. But everybody who decides to engage in that has the right to do so. If you think it doesn't work, that you'll be jealous, feel rejected, or feeling you'll go around hooking up with anyone, don't engage in one. It's clearly not for you. Simply like that!
Is that the right way to demonstrate love? There are better ways I think!
All forms of love is valid, whether setting the person free or restricting him or her for you... Whatever your hearts want to go... ;)
It is not a personal decision if you have a relationship, because it requires all people into that "Open" relationship to agree on the terms.
The only actual "benefit" I see from such an "Open" relationship is to have sex more frequently, at the cost of having to make time for your lovers. You could use that time with your main partner... but hey! Your partner can also engage with others... and if for some reason one /"Open" relationship ends, you always have another partner available. Pretty interesting...
Why are you into a relationship if you prefer to spend your time having intimacy with others?
You say society should not care about your personal decisions. Maybe you should meditate and think on the odd cases, what are the risks and what problems will your behavior generate? Can you at least try to think about for a second?
