What are the relationship models?
One of the best-known relationship models is classic partnership. No matter whether man and woman or same-sex. Life is shared with exactly one person and wants to do so until the end of his life. But there is also the open relationship. In this relationship model the love of two people is still in the foreground. The main difference here is that the partners are convinced that a sexual partner can not fulfill all wishes. Therefore adventures with others are allowed. Another relationship model is the polyamore relationship. Here more than two people live in a relationship with each other and also start families. The children then have more than two parents. The affair is also regarded as a relationship model. Here the desire is in the foreground and feelings do not play any role. This relationship model is chosen by people who do not want to constantly change their sexual partner, but are only interested in physicality. And then there are friends with certain advantages, called "Friends with Benefits". These relationships are mainly about non-binding. But it is not only about physical things. In this relationship you also do something together, you cuddle up with each other and go out together - without finally trying to decide for each other. But these are only a few relationship models, there are as many different ones as there are people in this world.
