Are you a fan of Non Monogamous Relationships?

I saw this subject thread on SW this evening. & left a brief comment.

However the subject got me thinking about posting a little bit more on the topic .

Sadly I think its a reflection of the era we are living in. When I was a younger adult . A monogamous relationship was a relationship to be proud of , and certainly the essence was considered to be something worth presevering. Sadly today noone seems to want to take monogamy seriously.

Which ultimately affects the dynamics of any potential one 2 one relationship.

I dont believe in the concept of cheating, because ultimately we have free will & shouldnt try to pretend that we dont.

However more than this I believe in 'Failthfulness' & 'Respecting' the person you are supposed to be committed to . I guess the reality is noone wants to properly commit anymore & its a sad reality..as far as I am concerned.

How can you find commitment with some who steps forward ..then no more ..than a bit.

Might as well lower expectations & throw the towel in .

Goodluck to those who are happily coupled & truly realise the value of 'Exclusivity' 💞

I believe in loyalty, respect, honesty and faithfulness.
I think it's important for couples to make clear the expectations of each other and its for them to work together to work on maintaining the trust they develop in each other.

I loved someone and gave them too much of myself.
I don't believe they were undeserving I was just perhaps desperate.
Being an only child in a chaotic household, I wanted stability.
I didn't realise I could offer that for myself.
I watched good relationships in my aunts and uncles and grandparents.
So I wanted to replicate that.
But that can only happen when you meet someone that wants the sake things you do and value the same things you do.

I assumed we wanted the same things, because he told me what I needed to hear to get me to stay.
