Societal Norms 🙄

Also aware how religion could play a role in selecting one over the other. Please elaborate if you wish to. Personally I feel that I have a tendency towards non-monogamy and I'm more inclined to understand it from an evolutionary standpoint opposed to a religious one.

Im in a monogamous relationship. But I understand that we are human and may have temptations. But it’s weather or not we act upon those desires

My and my fiancé try an open but he was telling the other bitches he loved them n the 2 rules I had was I was his ONLY gf and the ONLY one he told he loves and he broke the rule and regretted leaving begged to come bk

Monogamous. But I did have an affair. We worked through it.

Monogamous, non religious I don't think it's necessarily supposed to be Monogamous or non Monogamous for all humans but I do think a lot of people aren't taught or refuse to learn and take accountability and that's why there is so much cheating. You can still cheat in polyamorous relationships too. Some relationships even come back from cheating if they take accountability and change their ways. I also think that because of a lack of community a lot of people find connections that they shouldn't be making. Not that it's an excuse at all, just a theory.

Non-monogamous no religion just spiritual. I feel like you should explore connections. Not lust but actual connections. When you feel like that person supposed to be in your life and not completely sure why.

After being a witness to polyamorous and open relationships of other peoples I would say there’s more often than not just as much if not more drama and chaos that happens with those type of dynamics so I wouldn’t guess that humans are meant to be non monogamous either, at least not in a society built like we have today. Relationships are just hard all around lol but yeah I think our culture normalizes adultery and casual hookups in an unhealthy way. It’s the pendulum affect from most of us growing up in an era where sex was taught and viewed with a lot of shame and misogyny attached, even within the context of marriage

I admit I'm too jealous not to be monograms however I can see and understand why people aren't x

My current relationship is monogamous, but I've been poly before and respect other people's decisions. Tbh I feel it'd be easier if I was poly cause we'd have more income and more help with the babies 😂😂 I'm just WAY too possessive of my husband to share lol

I grew up in a polyamory household. My mom had two men living with us. Both raised us as our (step dads) and they all split the bills. Financially, I think it worked out great! I honestly thought it was normal growing up but now that I’m in a monogamous marriage, I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. Tbh, There was so much drama and chaos all the time at home growing up and my mom ended up after 20 years kicking one out and marrying the other (who she is now divorced to). I personally think my mom THOUGHT she had it all figured out but never did. I can’t say what went wrong I think it was just all wrong from the start.

Monogamy is NOT a natural behaviour for most animals, humans included! We only practice Monogamy due to societal expectations we've set upon ourselves!

I am monogamous but I agree it's not the biological norm

I'm monogamous and always have been. I can't imagine not being in a monogamous relationship as I'm a jealous person and would hate the idea of my partner with someone else

Personally, I have always preferred monogamy in my relationships, but acknowledge that the principle is founded and promoted by society. Also, I tend to think that citing jealousy as a reason to promote monogamy only results in a counterproductive argument. At the end of the day, we live in a society that promotes this as a norm, but to each their own & extra points if you are able to maintain any form of long-term relationship modern day. 😂

We’re monogamous but I could see that maybe, mayyyybe changing down the road when we are older due to external circumstances like health, living situation, aging, etc. Who knows. But definitely not right now.

@Allison well said and I agree!

I just feel like we’re getting closer and closer to a culture without many morals. Everything is okay with everyone, and the actions they take slowly chip away at their moral compass. I really hope people can heal from that. And take things a bit more sacred.

Non monogamous
