I don't believe I could have worked through so much of my own personal issues in my relationships if I didn't have this book. Not only is it easy to read and understand but if gives you others experiences, a history on open relationships, quotes from other open relationship books, a basic outline and small steps to help you better yourself. This is one book that everyone must have, open relationship or not. I have had it for only a year and have easily read through it 3 times. Its a must have even if you just need a reminder here and there.

a must-read for anyone interested in open relationships

A guide to creating and sustaining open relationships. It's large and comprehensive, starting with history and myths of open relationships, determining whether it may be right for you, and what makes open relationships work. It also describes 6 different forms of ORs and their benefits, reasons, pitfalls, and conflicts. The largest section of the book deals with more of the practicalities of choosing and designing an open relationship, dealing with issues such as jealousy, children, stigmas, safe sex, and legal issues. Tristan's book is regularly interspersed with stories or interviews of actual people's relationships which illustrate or bring to life many of the points she deals with. This is an amazing guide to open relationships.
