F2F Class Notes (Lily)[S]

What would a Chinese wife do if she found out her husband had a mistress? Is this practice common? Please write about this how marriage should or shouldn’t be modified? Do you agree with marriage? It is a good idea?

What is your opinion of open relationships?

in my opinion, open relationship means one versus numerous women or men.

I think open relationship is the trend to the relationship, because of the development of our society, we should have more and more choices. We can choose monogamy but we can also choose polygamy and polyandry. This 3 kinds of marriages methods should be legal in the future, and everyone can choose what they want in the future. I think as a civil citizen, everyone should respect other people’s choice. I think it should have a conversation between two/ three people. Like in Dubai, if I want a second wife, I should have a conversation with my first wife.

I think if we have open relationship, we can have more choices, the mistress may not exist anymore, and marriage will be freshed. Many couple they live together, their life will become boring, if we open our relationship, we give each other more new choices to color our lives.

The disadvantage is maybe there are more arguments/ fights will happen in the family, and some traditional parents will not accept their sons/ daughters decision, so I think open relationship is a controversial topic for some traditional families.

Like in Dubai, if I want a second wife, I should have a conversation with my first wife.

I think if we have open relationship, we can have more choices, the word “mistress” may not exist anymore, and marriage will always be happy. Many couple live together for a long time, their life will become boring, if we have open relationship, we can give each other more new choices to enrich our lives.
