My guess is that an open relationship is more for both persons to play the field while dating each other more frequently (probably because they do enjoy each other's company). Why would they do this? I can think of some reasons: lack of security, unwillingness to commit at a point in time, uncertainty of whether the other half is the "right" person (divorces are messy, breakups painful and in both these scenarios it takes much time - and sometimes money - to get over them).
I would say that if both parties were willing to be in such a relationship, then who am I to judge? And as for whether they should "inform" the others they are dating of their current status, that would depend on how close that relationship was. A first date might not mean much to someone, and he/she does not really have any obligation to say anything. Personally, I would not do such a thing, but I am trying to offer an alternative line of thinking here [img]smile.gif[/img]
