I'm fine with open relationships, but of course it should be based upon an upfront agreement from all parties. The excuse that it could be difficult is a cop out, what real relationship isn't?
I think it's unrealistic and potentially unhealthy to act like a person is incapable of being attracted to more than one person. You can be physically attracted to a person and not emotionally connected, and vice versa. Sure it's best when both things are present, but I see them as being two distinct things. That's part of the idea behind an open relationship: that people can feel different things for different people.
The other part is letting go of ego. That sounds egotistical, but it's as simple as that. My relationship with a person is between us; it has nothing to do with other people. If I care about a person and they care about me, even if I had zero interest in being with other people I don't think that I should dictate their relationships with other people, just as long as ours was based on sincerity and honesty. Putting aside your own wants as paramount to be able to accommodate someone else's is what any relationship should be, whether monogamous or not.
Not being able to hold a commitment to another person is unhealthy, but so is viewing another person as something that belongs to you.
