Negative – 

1)Relationship Strain: If not managed well, the additional dynamics of an open relationship can strain the primary relationship and potentially lead to conflicts.

2)Jealousy and Insecurity: Open relationships can sometimes lead to feelings of jealousy or insecurity if boundaries and communication are not clearly established.

They challenge traditional norms but also reflect evolving societal attitudes. The impact on culture will depend on how these practices are integrated and accepted within the broader social context
