Trouble!

If you could, would you?

Mason (lower right) and Sam (upper right) is in a relationship. An open-relationship. And in case you're wondering what that is, it's the type where in both people involved acknowledge that they love each other and are committed to each other YET they consent the other to sleep with other people. Twisted right? Well, people who are in such, would tell you that it works for them. At least it "prevents" them from "cheating" on each other cause both are aware with what each is doing.

Fling is a modern love story. Mason and Sam's love story. But things did get complicated. What started out as innocent flirting between Sam and her college boyfriend, James (upper left); and Mason and 18-year old Olivia (lower left) just spell disaster. I won't be spilling the beans here cause I think it's worth one and a half hours of your time. It's a lot like Closer with Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman - all those twisted relationships and sex but with far younger people.

But my point is this, I think the idea of open relationships is not a good thing. How can you say that you love someone when you're out screwing somebody else? How can one not be jealous if the one they love is out with another person? It just reeks trouble from the get go. But then again, if it suits other people, I guess it works for them. But I don't think I'm one to enter such a volatile nature.

And I realized how we treat our relationship with God as an open one. And a one-sided one at that.
