How Do You Feel About Monogamy?

[Bowyn Aerrow]

I've heard alot of people say that monogamy is impossible, doesn't exist, is hard...but thing is? For me I'm just not -interested- in anyone else. I'm not tempted to try something new...cause I get something -new- in him every single day.

He manages, without -trying- to be anything but himself, to be everything I want and all I need. He makes it feel brand new, even 8 years later...

So you never dated anyone else, try on other trousers BEFORE you met him? And assuming that that hadn't happened, what if (Lord Forbid) that he dies from some ailment or accident in the next few years, are you 100% certain that you will not eventually love again?

Humans are not by their nature monogamus. Meaning humans are capable of being in more than one "partnership" or pair bonding. If that didn't happen humans as a species would have failed epically...

Which is partial answer to the First Question.

While I practice faithfulness and what we call monogamy with I'm with a partner, I have been with more than one partner in my life time which means I am not monogamus to the full meaning of the word.

And, I'm sorry to say, I find that mongamy is a lost ancient rite, something that may haave happen before human records, but human records make it clear that humans are a species that cheats like hell, going all the way back to the Summarian Clay tablets.

In today's world monogamy has less currency value. Like the US dollar, its confidence is lacking and since it ain't backed with gold (or silver) Again like the US dollar, it is worthless and has no real significant meaning to or for the majority of humans.

Granted some of us refuse to cheat on our partner, but that is SOME not all. Many actually do cheat, more often than not cheat often and with a variety of people.

Monogamy is yet one more fairy-tale instead of fact. Its a thing we wish for, such as witches who can bake and serve up tasty oven roasted chilren (yum yum), but doesn't actually take place (dammit, I made stuffing tonight, no young flesh to dine upon with it, had to settle for chicken... again).

FEw couples stay together for life. Few - very few. Whilst I started off long long ago in search of my life long mate, I fear 7 mates later I'm still looking. Well I lied, I have finally stopped looking and stopped desiring a parnter/mate, whatever. Far less expensive, far less cleaning and cooking and far less black eyes both physical and emotional.
