So do you? I don't think I do. I think it's a wonderful idea, but boredom etc inspires people to sleep around. I don't believe marriage is a farce; I think it's brilliant. I just think telling people they're not allowed to do something makes it 100x more appealing. I'm not sure i want monogamy. I want a love of my life but I want to tell the love of my life if they act on instinct they won't be judged by me. As long as they come home to me at night (and use adequate protection) they won't bev judged, hated or ridiculed. Isn't loving someone also pardoning their indiscretion? Very interested in what you guys think. Tell all. No one will tell!

I am a strong believer in monogamy.

After a quick Google search (because I know if I asked what Monogamy was on here people would give me that "I'll Google that for you" link) I would have to say yes.

When you're married, you're married. You made a pact together. (But I don't mind divorce.)

Edit: I think you have the wrong meaning of Monogamy.

So was I. I've changed my idea since I found out my other half was cheating. I posted it at the time because I was so upset and had to have opinions. Since I found out he did it, we have moved on, and I love him, I'm just not "in love"
Anymore and want to know if there are any other ways to save our relationship. I'm thinking if I'd have known he wanted to shag other people I wouldn't have been so hurt.

@NintendoPie no no, I'm sure I have it right. Two people making a commitment to each other, promising themselves only to that other person and nobody else. If I'm wrong, please say.

Yes, but your poll options don't really make sense.

Yeah I realised they're the other way around when I posted. No idea how to change =/

I said it in your previous thread; I still feel like you shouldn't be with him. People often stay too attached and stay in relationships that aren't working, and while everyone else can clearly see it, the person in the relationship will lie and twist their thoughts to make things seem like they're not so bad. Maybe you're afraid of being lonely. Maybe you think you won't find a person as good as what you think you have right now. From personal experience, I've seen my friends (and myself) hang on to relationships that weren't good for us for those reasons I mentioned along with others.

Anyways, I very much so believe in monogamous relationships and staying loyal to someone you've given your love to.

monogamy is for certain people. i'm more of a no expectations kind of person.

if we are in a ralationship. monogamy i can guarantee, but that's it. i doubt i'll ever get married.

I'm pretty sure I read something recently about either a gene being responsible, or a chemical state in the mind, that has become heavily associated with strong monogamous views. That's where both come from.

I need to ask, what defines a monogamous person? Is it the jealousy or hurt that occurs at the thought/action of a partner loving another? What is the push that a monogamous person has that makes them feel...monogamous?

Btw this doesn't mean I'm a polygamist. I just haven't had to experience such a mindset from either side yet.
