I was flipping through Psychology Today and found an article on Plan B relationships. These are not necessarily affairs, just a person that is kept in the wings in case the other relationship ends.

My explanation for why they exist is based on insecurities and fear to commit since there is not a commitment to either person. I think that it also works on building esteem, although it's false and a distraction from the real issue(s).

With so many people having Plan B's for other facets of their life, it seems to be natural that relationships would not be exempt. However, problems occur after awhile because you can't cover up the primary relationship's problems forever and the plan B person may want more which leads to an ultimatum. In the end, there is going to be a conflict and possibly all involved will be left hurt and alone.

What are thoughts on Plan B relationships?
