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'm a little bit tired of seing "Commitment" reduced to a mere synonym for sexual exclusivity
Like first of all you're at least getting some so that's not really all that hard to do if you like your partner enough.
I certainly did and secondly

and secondly like I'm in a Polyamorous relationship and I've watched monogamous culture act like all of us drawn to that lifestyle are just immature and Committment phobic but he reality is about 5 years ago on realizing how big of a fan she was of I shall believe by sheryl crow I promised I wouldn't give up on her.

and I've been true to my word.

I think where I draw the most disgust at the reduction though it's being drained of meaning by monogamy's cheerleaders

it should mean so much more than sexual exclusivitiy, but the way people keep dropping it is watering that down .
