Has Monogamy become Too Much to Expect?
Hasn't monogamy always been to much to expect? Don't get me wrong, I am faithful to my husband and as far as I know...he is faithful to me as well. That isn't always the case, though. In colonial days, men committed adulterous acts with their slaves. Our presidents have always had a little bit of side action, right? Before we meet that eachother, that wasn't the case. I had been involved in adulterous relationships and he cheated on both of his previous wives. To him, it is a constant struggle. Whether that is because of the things that he has done in the past, or a man's constant need to spread his seed, I am not sure. All I know is that marriage gets a little bit easier as the years pass, at least my marriage. We fight less. We find ways to occupy eachother and occupy ourselves outside of the things that we do together.
In the days of open relationships and swinging relationships, is the concept of monogamy outdated? Is it possible that healthy relationships are the ones that are made with feelings of indifference that allow the parties to share in extracurricular activities?
Monogamy is something that is possible to share with someone, the right someone. As usual, honesty is the best policy. Why do we have to have our cake and eat it too, when it comes to relationships? Isn't it better to take a step back and realize what will be accomplished from cheating and then decide whether to act on it? Isn't it also better to end your relationship before you stray?
What are your thoughts on monogamy? Have you ever had a moment of weakness?
