Open relationships test people, to really see what's inside of each person involved in the relationship, what is liked and not liked by each. Adding in new people, new experiences, brings different feelings to the mind and heart.

Yes, NINA is curious about herself, interested in her deeper world, but oftentimes females test their partner, to know more about them as well. Based on how far the male partner goes, females get to understand things of men unspoken, a different way females use to understand. One creative suggestion of a female, can lead to an entire educational program of mixed sorts, only to be more puzzled in the end than when one started.

After a while, NINA gets jealous of the open relationship arrangement, so considers a surrogate, although she doesn't yet have children of her own. The average cost of surrogacy ranges from $90,000 to $130,000 depending on the individual arrangements.

As a couple, thinking such might reconnect them, reigniting their bond as before, NINA and HENRY decide to pay a surrogate, as HENRY has a male infertility abnormality. Why NINA invested in Henry, has her consider the process, something that just might unite them as before, so they begin the process.

Once the child is born, a New reality sets in. NINA isn't pleased with her initial decision made with HENRY, but keeps it inside. Knowing the child isn't born from her, she feels guilty and inadequate, although HENRY is genuinely happy, being able to fulfill the dream of parenthood and now having someone to leave his inheritance to.

Utterly embarrassed of her actions, NINA disappears from the scene with no sound, leaving behind a stretched out rubber band with no elasticity. She couldn't keep it together, after she started the open relationship concept. And like her mind, she lost it!
