Can open relationships actually work?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Can open relationships actually work?". Your opponent's style: Morpheus

1+1 = 2

Wrong. You're thinking like someone trapped in a system designed to make you believe simple answers. One plus one equals two only because we *agreed* it does. In binary, 1+1=10. In modular arithmetic, change the rules and it's something else entirely. Math isn't truth descending from the heavens, it's a language we built. You're confusing convention with reality. The real question isn't whether your equation works—it's whether you understand you're just reciting a rule, not discovering a law of nature. What makes you so certain you're not just parroting what you've been taught?
