where do you get that polyamory / open relationships are more common nowadays?

but its true, people are cheating and reasoning with the polyamory/open relationship nonsense 🙂

very rarely both (or all) people in those relationships are on the same page regarding the openness (but there are exceptions, thats true)

the other thing is, with the internet, social media, dating applications being used, people feel they have more options, not just a plain old fashioned cheating

A few of the guys I’ve dated used to be poly but wanted monogamy as well.

Most people don’t really grasp all the work that goes into poly/open commitments. It’s literally twice the work. Otherwise you just end up breaking up anyways lol.

Monogamy is still common. People are just more raw with their insecurities, picky and slow to jump into commitment. Which isn’t always a bad thing.


I usually tell people it's 3 times the work.

I grew up in a polygamy family so i got my throat shoved down with the idea that it's ok to have multiple partners in life. Which i actually resent much. I can tell that it's not for me but for some reason i'm trying to be cool with it. I supress my jealousy to the minimum, i have huge fear of vulnerability.

It really fucked my head up and how i see relationship in general.

But then i met this man. Whom i can feel so comfortable and feel accepted to say that i can't share and i can be jealous too sometimes. He even loves me more for that, he is monogamous too.

And i don't know how you guys would take it but reading all of your comments about how monogamous is still common, it's ok and normal makes me feel soo much better about myself and people in general. Makes me feel warm idk why. Like my faith in humanity just got restored lol. Thank you to all of you!

Monogamy is NOT human nature. It is a choice.

You either choose it, or you don't. It's that simple. Neither is right or wrong to do as well. People can live their lives the way they want to.

I make the choice to be monogamous because I have possessive issues. What's mine is mine, and I will not share.

"I make the choice to be monogamous because I have possessive issues. What's mine is mine, and I will not share."

Honesty love that! Now the flip side. What about sharing you? And no that does not mean your sleeping with both. Because of society that is frowned upon. One will be your best friend, emotional blanket, and good conversation. The other everything else including financial support, arm candy, and your physical needs.

Nah, I don't like sharing myself either. I am very black and white when it comes to romantic versus friendship. My partner will be my bestfriend, and all inclusive to anything romantically. My bestfriends are only friends, and there is no physical attraction with them.

Monogamous Is human nature




Nope monogamy is a new concept in our evolution. Ridiculously rare in nature too. Monogamy in nature is a fairytale.

Serial monogamy is what we do. Meaning we basically tell any other potential partner to get in line. Then wait until the current s/o messes up or you get bored. I'm including the dating phase too because people get a lot of hate for dating multiple people at a time. Which is stupid.

Those people in line get "friend zoned" or "back burnered". Females are the worst offenders.

you're missing the point

Cuz, people tend to be with one person at time.

And yeah, if it didn’t work out, and they broke up or thier partner is dead, then they move on, this is what people do.

It’s hard even for men to be with more than one wife, I see it happens.
