In the 9ja context, most people who put it in their profile don't really know what it means. It's mostly copycat.

It is usually NOT in agreement with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

For most, it means "I'm not engaged & I'm not married". In today's world, playing away if dating only is just normal to many people.

Worry more about those with 3 or 4 bf or gf or even married, yet don't even put anything under relationship status. Very common on fb.

I am not sure you are right. I beg to differ not any/every girl in an open relationship is out for financial gratification. There are some who are in a relationship that has no focus or direction, or in an abusive relationship, so they are open to meeting someone who is focus, responsible, and treats them right. We don't expect a girl in her mid twenties and above to be in a relationship with an undergraduate or even a graduate who has refused to sit up and make his life useful, do we? A lady who's looking forward to settling down in a few years can't be faulted for wanting a defining relationship.

Also, I noticed you conveniently avoided guys who are in an open relationship for more mind blowing sex. Interesting really.

I don't really understand the SETTLING DOWN part,was the lady agitated before..come to think of it,why do people classify marriage as settling down,last timei checked 85% of marriages don't work so how come peeps view marriage as settling down?
It sounds pretty absurd and kinda pisses me off when peeps say that...jst saying

Prixus:

yes. sure. u must find a partner who agrees to it. it's not common but it's d best. of all d relationships a girl or guy will have in life only one leads to marriage so when u r still young y should u limit ursef to one partner who u will still break up with after a while? most girls nowadays by 20 hv had 3 or more bfs so who's deceiving who? there's no such thing as love btw such young one. so it's best to keep ur options open.

You have a valid point, I reckon you are widely traveled or an exposed person to have rightly pointed that out. Settling down is not all about marriage, I know couples can still live their lives happily forever without getting married. Marriage is just a piece of paper and it doesn't determine the length of a union between two people. However, I was only talking from the Nigerian (or say religious) point of view, where the idea of couples living and growing old together without a pen in the paper called marriage is frowned upon.

Open relationship means the person is in an unhappy or unstable relationship and is open to give someone better a try. Prolly don't want to let go of their present partner until a new and better person come into their life


Then what does "it's complicated" mean?
Re: What Does It Mean To Be In An Open Relationship? by 9jatatafo(m): 11:30am On Jan 20, 2015
Open relationship is when both parties agree that they can have sexual relationship outside their marriage or courtship. Like not much commitment and we can say the boy/man is playboy and the girl or woman a runs babe

The both of them are relative. Only difference is that someone in a complicated relationship is not ready to let go but kinda determine to straighten things up whereas someone in an open relationship may have given up on working things out but rather open for new dates.
Re: What Does It Mean To Be In An Open Relationship? by Nobody: 11:46am On Jan 20, 2015
Asin u open,me sef open ,anytime we want we open,closing is cheating ur partner when especially he/she feels the need to open. Basically.



Open relationship is to open
Re: What Does It Mean To Be In An Open Relationship? by Nobody: 11:53am On Jan 20, 2015
Polyamorous is better. In love with multiple babes and they know each other and accept it that way. No cheating. Still searching for people like that in Naija. Over 2yrs now searching...no lady is accepting. Jealous ladies everywhere.
