Is monogamous dating too restrictive?

I had this thought today, well after I was blown off by my 'dial a f*ck'
As women are so loving, nurturing and generally bestow this natural connection. Is it fair to say we should be living as woman and woman who grow and nurture each other and our children whilst the men lead their own lives and only seek us to mate with...
Much like lions and lionesses.

What are your thoughts?

I think monogamy is, to one extent or another, toxic in its own way. I dont think it should be so ingrained into our culture that nobody ever questions it, and imo its toxic to imply that one person has to be another persons everything in every way. Thats unrealistic and selfish. As for the roles of each person in the relationship, thats all you. That varies from person to person, but i feel that as long as everybodys okay with their place in the relationship and everybodys communicating and listening to each others needs, theres nothing wrong with it.

@KidAzazel perhaps so but for how long in modern society does that actually last. Especially given marriage and divorce rates.

@Peppa what? polyamory? if you do it right, it can be wonderful. i know people who have had more successful and longer relationships being poly than any monogamous couple ive ever seen. but it takes a LOT of communication between everyone involved

@KidAzazel any type of marriage/relationship set up. That's all. But i hear you.
I have contemplated being in a polyamourous relationship myself. But I'm yet to meet someone OK with that.
