If it is the right woman I am all for it, in fact if it was true love I could not have it any other way.

Monogamy?? Who is for it


Monogamy:

1. The practice or condition of having a single sexual partner during a period of time.
2. The practice or condition of being married to only one person at a time.
3. The practice of marrying only once in a lifetime.

...

a) I am definitely for having sex with only one partner at a time
b) I am definitely for being married to one person at a time
c) I am against marrying only once in a lifetime. Obviously! As I've already struck out three x's. laugh

Don't mean to offend anyone in my following response, but it is how I feel. Monogamous relationships are the ONLY "relationships" Anything done with more then one partner is only excused cheating. A relationship isn't just a concept, it's the actual act and emotional connection to somebody followed by devotion to that person to show your care and or emotional connect, love, ect. How can somebody truly say they love so and so yet they're fooling around with this other person. Love don't work that way.

A man should be married to only one woman at a time.

One woman at a time is enough for me. I haven't always been monogamous though and maybe a bit of it was the wanting to try different flavours thing and gaining sexual experience and maybe a bit of it was there not being anyone that actually wanted an exclusive relationship with me, so I was looking at it as being better than nothing.

Society and religion conditions people into thinking that you should only be with one person. Some people don't think that way though and see that way of looking at it as being all about control, jealousy and possessiveness.

I believe being monogamous is the only way to establish a strong, healthy, loving and committed relationship/marriage.

Sorry Tawt, that comment struck me funny lol. One woman "at a time". That kinda infers that there will be a next. Just still strikes me funny how people these days actually start relationships not necessarily expecting it to end, but leave room for it to from the start. And are thinking about the next or a possible next.

I could never do the 'take what I can get' or settle for someone who isnt who I absolutely want to be with. I will only be in a monogamous relationship.

While Im not with them, I enjoy my life learning about me, or the people around me, not dating folks Im not interested in or having relationships that arent what I want.

To get to a monogamous relationship, I date, and get to know people Im interested in until I see they are not the match for me.

Im sure its common to settle or take what you can get for many people. Its just not what I want. Maybe thats why people get so annoyed if you wont go out with them. They are interested in settling for a non-match, for the time being, and cant see that some people are not.



Exactly, as I mentioned earlier people are only worried about the here and now and either don't care, don't put much mind to, or a combination of both about the future with that person. They just think ah well, won't be that hard to find another. My question is why worry about finding another? Why not just worry about pleasing the one you already have.

I on the other hand think some couples could benefit from it (non-monogamous relationship), but don't hear it often which is why I ask.

My answer, and it is just a guess at best, is it's not about the other person, it's all about themselves. It's all about self-gratification instead of genuinely taking the time and energy to focus on finding out if the other person would be a suitable match. It's the path of least resistance. JMHO

Well sorry for misunderstanding the post originally lol. But it is entirely about the other person. Relationships won't last if it's a "me" thing. They always have to be a "you" thing and or making the other person happy(er). If both people of the relationship work to make the other happy, it's a win win fail safe method that will last till the ends of the world.

Both individuals need to on the same page with what it is they want for as long as they want to be together. Putting a ring on both fingers doesn't mean anything if the honesty is not there or trust from the start and ongoing. Long term relationship or marriage. It doesn't matter. People can at times say whatever they are feeling in the moment but sometimes, sadly, this changes if nobody is being forthright about what they want when their feelings do change. Relationships are just that. Two beings coming together. What makes it work is up to both of those people involved.
