A relationship where it's okay to cheat, but it's not okay, because you never really decided it was okay in the first place. A person in an open relationship doesnt see the havoc this adds to their life.
Female in open relationship- You can touch my tits. I'd let your brother/sister touch my tits too.

What happened to there being someone for everyone? If you know you're going to end up sticking with a decision (when you dont allow yourself a way out of it), you'll make sure you made the right one with no regrets. Right or wrong, you don't stay stuck with indecision, doing the wrong thing (everything happens for a reason, everything leads to what comes next) is sometimes the way to go if you're not stuck anymore after that.

It's simple enough, if you seal up the leaks, your relationship will be airtight again, it wont be open. If your landlord or counselor or outside person died, you'd have nobody to seal the leaks but you and your other half.

This is the main source of confusion in the forms of spirituality that deal with the implications of non-duality (Oneness).
There are generally two levels to the fallacy:
1. The first level is the conflation that happens when you don't have knowledge about the distinction between the relative and The Absolute (dual/non-dual). This is common in pre-rational religious people (Wilber). The way that traditional religion interprets various holy texts is itself a good example.
2. The second level happens when you do have knowledge about the distinction between relative and absolute (but it's obviously not complete knowledge). This is common in (aspiring) trans-rational people. A common example is to think that because nothing ultimately really matters, morality doesn't matter, and therefore it's fine to for example hurt other people. This is to conflate "the relative" with "The Absolute". From The Absolute perspective, yes, nothing really matters, but morality can only ever be defined "relative" to a certain value system in the first place. By taking the absolute perspective, you're deliberately stepping outside of all value systems, but "it's fine to hurt other people" would be a moral statement, which means you're actually invoking a relative perspective.
