Do you know that your backup plan can lead to the break up of your existing relationship? (Especially in open relationships.) Marriage counselors will always advise building a relationship on 'trust' because many relationships break because of distrust chiefly caused by infidelity and insincerity. Does a backup plan amount to infidelity?
Infidelity can be broadly defined as the breaking of a promise in a romantic relationship, whether such promise was a part of a marriage vow, a privately uttered agreement between the lovers, or an unspoken assumption. With this definition, it is quite clear that keeping a secret 'back up' relationship amounts to infidelity in a committed relationship.
Heartbreak is a bitter experience many persons don't want to experience, hence their reasons for a backup plan. However, wouldn't it be foolish if you are the architect of your own heartbreak by keeping 'secret relationships' that eventually break your relationship? Except unless, if your partner is cool with your 'backup' plan, which if he/she is, then it can be said to be a very unserious relationship.
Why not spend the energy that would have been exerted in maintaining a backup relationship to ensure that the main relationship doesn't break up. Do not keep backup plans! Take it one at a time, even in case of a breakup, heal and move to another. It takes commitment, dedication, and prayers to make a relationship work, so give it all three and wish for the best.
