Another reason I don't do well with monogamy is, be it traditional monogamy or new age monogamy, I don't need anything that comes with it.

In traditional/traditional leaning monogamy the man focuses on making money and the woman does most if not all of the house stuff. This is loosely like the relationship I was just in. When I was working normal hours we would split the chores; I would do all the meal prep/cooking and clean the kitchen and she did the laundry and cleaned the rest of the apartment. We split expenses in a way that was proportionate with how much we each earned (I earned more).

If I was working 7 days a week she would do all the chores and cooking while I did my best to clean up after myself and I'd just pay for most everything.

The thing is, easier though it was on me, easy and worth it are two different things. I had and have no problems tending to all my own domestic needs as a bachelor even when I am working 7 days a week; I had developed methods and systems that allow me to meal prep and clean even when I work every day.

Sex on demand? Yes that was nice but honestly I am apt enough at getting sex that I dont need to employ someone to fill that position constantly. When I need ass so bad that it becomes an issue I clean myself up and go out and get some 🤷🏽‍♂️. And honestly the "hunt" adds to the thrill and makes for more exciting sex than domestic sex tbh. Especially when you happen upon a freaky one 🥴.

The emotional support side of it...be it good or be it bad I just don't really need a whole lot of that honestly. I am good at being alone. I think something in me was rubbed raw when I was young due to the emotional conditions I was raised in. I just don't feel the need for constant closeness and emotional intimacy and when I do feel I need it I just go take a trip to see my family or friends and I'm good.

Kids? I dont want any. This nation as it currently stands deserves not to be perpetuated. Maybe in better times and/or better places.

As for new age monogamy...my balls are too good at producing testosterone for that.

Enjoy this feeling while it lasts and have fun.

I am extremely independent as well and often feel uncomfortable in relationships. I can get laid so easily, it’s boring. I can do all the chores fine, I don’t even really like someone touching my shit anyway. I care for my son in my own because people don’t like kids anymore, that’s the world we live in. While I’d rather die than be in a traditional relationship ever again, for me, an emptiness has developed. I’ve lost people, my family is dead, as time goes on things change. I had a lot of fun and I’m glad I did! But these days I’m seeking a connection, not attachment, but I dunno, proof that anybody gives a fuck at all about my son or I. I don’t have it figured out, but I agree with you that the usual ritual of monogamy is monotonous. It’s beautiful to have the freedom to choose for yourself what is right.

@Eternity I don’t really agree with all of this. I’ve had different experiences than you, but be well

@RebelFox You dont have to agree. You are right; we live two separate and different lives. What works for me probably wont work for you as I am wired differently.

Relationships are fucked.

Yup, the nation deserves to die. It failed. And so have its people.

Sow your seeds young man ! Lol
Seems you are conditioned for a life for yourself .

Its not monogamy that is the issue, its all types of committed relationships .
Even polymory .

You feel content within yourself .

And thats fine .

@OogieBoogie i can deal with commitment, hell I've been committed to a trade for the last 5 years under an endenture, I just feel like monogamy is simply not worth being committed to. At least not for me it isn't.

A polyamorus relationship, so long as the terms are agreeable to all parties and the benefits outweight the costs, is probably something I could do.

Sounds like you know yourself well and will live accordingly! Well done. You’ve avoided having kids which allows you to be a free agent.
Eternity · 26-30, M
@Fukfacewillie right. And then there are other ways to have kids in your life. Mentorship is a good thing that many children need especially fatherless ones

@Eternity You have your head on straight.

@Fukfacewillie thank you

What exactly is new age monogamy?

Does "new" night = day?
Eternity · 26-30, M
@SW-User its a bunch of bullshit is what it is. Basically the man has to do all the traditional man stuff but the woman cannot be expected to do anything other than whatever she wants otherwise you're a misogynist.
