AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP IS MANY THINGS
There are, of course, hundreds of different approaches to open relationships. Some open relationships focus on honesty, some focus on feelings, and others on sex. There are open relationships where you have a primary partner. There are open relationships where you talk about everything, and open relationships where you don't share details about what you do with others. Which model you choose depends on the sexual profiles of the people involved, their boundaries, their ability to handle jealousy, and much more.
THE CORE OF AN OPEN
RELATIONSHIP IS TRANSPARENCY

SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS AND JEALOUSY
Open relationships require a high level of self-awareness and the ability to handle jealousy or to communicate your feelings accurately and responsibly. An open relationship can provide increased freedom, the opportunity to explore new aspects of your sexuality, and mean you become less dependent on one partner. On the other hand, there is a high risk of misunderstandings, emotional pain, and a host of problems that can arise if you are unable to handle complex relational dynamics.
If a monogamous couple chooses to open their relationship, it will be necessary to let go of many habits and expectations. This can lead to increased self-awareness but also to more drama. Some will realize that their relationship was built on an illusion and others will discover that their relationship was much deeper and stronger than they thought.
