樂活歐洲|開放式婚姻:愛情必須是條單行線嗎?
歐洲那些事兒在前幾天的文章,迎來了不少的鮮花和磚頭。事實上爭議性正是我們寫這些的原動力,各種討論和交流使得我們更多的了解其他人,也更加了解自己。在本片文末,我們集中了幾個大家最關心的問題進行了回答。今天我們的話題將會更加深入一些。再一次,歐小主要強調:我們不比較文化的優劣,不干涉人生自由和個人見解,多看一些,多了解一些是我們形成個人觀點的土壤。
國內某知名導演最近與妻子互爆婚內出軌事件,揭開了多重伴侶關係神秘面紗的一角。事實上,國內有權有錢階層一直都存在這種所謂「各玩各的」的婚姻關係,而底層的勞動人民,尤其是外出打工者也存在「臨時夫妻」的現象。這些特殊的婚姻狀態是對 「一夫一妻制」 的挑戰還是補充?在不傷害到任何人的前提之下,是不是可以理解這樣的生活狀態呢?像是現在大火的「七月與安生」,為什麼不可以快樂地生活在一起呢?
歐小主特意專訪了一位正在實行開放式關係的朋友,Juliette是一位住在荷蘭的美國人,從事西班牙語和英語的翻譯工作。她與她的丈夫在荷蘭已經結婚,並且有個可愛的女兒。從婚前開始,他們就這種「開放式關係」達成了共識,多年之後,他們依然很滿意這樣的生活狀態。
歐小主
你和你的伴侶是什麼時候開始討論「開放式關係」的?
Juliette
我曾在我的第一段婚姻中出軌,出軌的對象就是我的現任丈夫羅蘭。當我們的婚外情被發現時,這件事對每個人都造成了可怕的影響。 這件事後,我告訴羅蘭,我在這段感情中有可能依然會出軌,他告訴我,或者我不需要出軌,或者當我喜歡上了別人,我可以告訴他。多棒的主意!我們當時並沒有意識到這就是所謂的開放式關係,但是我們從此踏上了這條旅程。起初我們以為開放式關係是一個很奇怪的概念。後來我們意識到,我們自己就是開放式關係實踐者。
歐小主
你為什麼選擇這種「開放式關係」 ?
Juliette
因為即使我跟一個完美的人結婚了,有的時候我依然會遇到一個特別的人,使我想跟他有比朋友更親密的關係。很多人都是如此。起初我還以為我是個壞人才沒有辦法做到只愛一個人,但現在我覺得這個設定不是那麼合理,為什麼要不再愛(離開)一個人,然後才能開始愛另一個。如果你選擇只愛一個人,這很好。但是如果你想愛得更多,這一定是錯誤的嗎?我們不這麼認為。只要是兩廂情願,對我們來說更多的愛是好事,不是壞事。
歐小主
那你為什麼要結婚呢?
Juliette
最初,我們結婚是因為我們想要孩子,我們認為婚姻將讓孩子的生活更輕鬆。後來的事情發展並沒有按照我們的計划進行,但我們沒有離婚的理由。我們其實非常地愛對方,不論有或沒有其他的愛人。我們結婚是一個形式化的事情,我們在市政廳領證了,沒有證人也沒有大張旗鼓辦婚禮。
歐小主
這種關係是否達到了你想要的結果呢?
Juliette
絕對。現在,我們有我們夢想中的家庭,我們仍然歡迎生命中更多愛情發生的可能性。這已經成為了一個有趣的生活方式。
歐小主
你們都互相認識彼此所有的愛人嗎?
Juliette
當然。這裡沒有秘密。我們確實有隱私(比如:我們不分享所有的約會細節),但我們總是知道與參與的人是誰,而且我們並沒有很多的愛人。我們可能會同時擁有一兩個愛人,但不會更多。
歐小主
需要約定彼此有同樣數目的愛人嗎?
Juliette
絕對不用。我們覺得這樣的規則是愚蠢的和毫無意義的。
歐小主
那麼錢的問題呢?
Juliette
我不是太了解你的意思。我們有應對家庭開支的共同家庭帳戶,其他的部分是個人自己的賬戶,個人賬戶全由自己掌控。
歐小主
這個開放式的關係你會告訴你的孩子和其他親友嗎?
Juliette
是的,我們認識的人都知道。我們的女兒知道。我們沒有保密的打算。在另一方面,我們並不會主動宣揚,比如我們女兒的老師或醫生等我們會告訴他們(他們接受的很好)我們不會把它複雜化,大多數人只是點頭然後改變話題。大多數人真的不那麼在乎別人的私生活。他們甚至真的沒有什麼問題想問。
歐小主
你會因為開放式的關係而跟你的丈夫更親密嗎?
Juliette
絕對。只要我有自由做我自己,可以與其他男人在一起,即使目前我並沒有其他伴侶,我也為擁有這份自由而很開心,這也使得我更加依戀我們的婚姻。我喜歡與我的丈夫分享愛情的冒險之旅。

這篇文章體現的算是荷蘭的優秀文化嗎?
荷常在以為文化沒有優秀和糟粕,只有特點和適應性,我們在此不是宣揚更優秀的文化,而是向大家介紹不一樣的觀點,不一樣的世界。
這是不是鼓勵中國女孩在性方面自由呢?
荷常在無意影響任何個人自由,只是向大家介紹不同的生活方式。仁者見仁,智者見智吧。
女生吃避孕藥是否存在危害呢?
目前的避孕藥技術已經很成熟,正確服藥的避孕成功率高於99%(TT的成功率是97%),並且不影響之後的生育。但是避孕藥有不同種類,最好是能夠去醫院做個激素檢測,讓醫生幫你選擇最適合自己的。當然也有人不適合服用避孕藥,這都需要專業的醫生意見。
在荷蘭可以墮胎嗎?
在荷蘭墮胎是合法的,通常在22周之內可以進行,三個月以上的流產必須在醫院進行。
你們這樣的文章會造成更多的中國女孩被老外騙的!
不能給老外騙,難道非得留著給中國人騙嗎?
附Juliette 採訪稿原文,供大家參考:
When did you start to discuss with your partner about this open relationship?
I used to cheat on my partners, including my first husband. I cheated on my first husband with Roland, my current husband. When we were discovered, it was of course an awful thing for everyone to go through. I told Roland that I would probably cheat on him too, and he suggested maybe I wouldn"t have to. Maybe I could tell him if I was interested in someone else. What an idea! We knew nothing about the word polyamory, but that"s how we got started on this path. At first we thought polyamorists were weirdos. Later we realized we were polyamorists.
Why do you choose to have open relationship?
Because every once in a while, even though I"m married to a wonderful man, I meet someone special with whom I want to be closer to than friendship. Many of us do. At first I thought I was a bad person for being unable to commit to just one, but now I feel that it"s unreasonable to insist that you stop loving (and leave) one person before you can start loving another. If you choose to love only one person, fine. But if you want to love more, does that have to be wrong or bad? We don"t think so. As long as it"s consensual, we think more love is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Why do you get married then?
Initially we got married because we wanted children and we thought it would make their lives easier. That didn"t (exactly) work out the way we had planned, but we see no reason to get divorced. And we are in fact very much committed to each other, with or without other partners. It was pretty much an administrative thing; we got married at city hall with no witnesses or fanfare.
Has open relationship reached your desired results?
Absolutely. We now have the family of our dreams, and we are still always open to the possibility of adding more love to our lives. It"s become a fun way to live.
Do you both aware of all the partners of each other?
Always. There are no secrets here. We do have privacy (we don"t have to share all the details of every date, for example), but we always know with whom everyone is involved. And it"s not like a lot of people. One or two of us might be dating someone at any given moment, but it"s not this massive amount of people coming and going.
Is it necessary to have same number of partners for both side?
Absolutely not. We feel rules like that are silly and pointless.
How about money issue ?
Please tell me more about what you want to know. We have a family account for family expenses, and we each have our spending money that we do with as we please.
Do you share these information with kids and friends or families?
Yes, everyone we know knows. Our daughter knows. We don"t believe in being closeted or keeping secrets from anyone. On the other hand, we don"t go around announcing it to people, other than perhaps our daughter"s teacher or doctor ("You should know that Maya has 3 parents instead of 2,", which they are fine with). We keep it very simple, and most people simply nod and change the subject. Most people really don"t care about other people"s private lives that much. They wouldn"t even know what to ask, really.
Do you get more close with your husband because of these arrangement?
Absolutely. Just having the freedom to be myself with other men, even if I"m not dating anyone, makes me very happy and makes me want to stay in this marriage with him. I love sharing the adventure of relationships with him.
