Monogamy - Does it even make sense any more?

i think it's pretty awesome when both people are equally invested and committed. - Morgan
Depends on the couple. I work best in a monogamous relationship but I have respect for others who don't. I know of people who have open relationships and that works for them. - Just Katie
Do you mean standard monogamy or serial monogamy? - caj
I'm just trying to get one person, let alone more than one. :( - Derrick
++ Derrick. Amen to that. - Jennifer Dittrich
Sister wives make life better. - Rochelle
I'm with Katie on that. Monogamy works perfectly for me, but for those who do it otherwise, all the best. :D - Bette Cooper
I don't see any reason it wouldn't make sense, let alone "any more". People with open relationships that are working obviously have a high level of trust in each other and a very health amount of self-confidence. I personally would be very insecure if my guy took an interest in someone else. - Heather
for me, i need to be in a monogamous relationship. if it's a relationship, it's gotta be that way. just my feelings on this. if others can hang with open terms, that's cool. but my girl is my girl is my girl. and i'm her guy all the way, or not at all. and there is currently an opening in the 'my girl' position. apply within. - Morgan
Personally, my wife keeps me too busy for any outside activity. Which is fine by me. :) - caj
Great comments! Open relationships (not talking Polyamory or Polygamy or any of the Polys) take about the same amount of work as a Mono relationship. I really haven't noticed much difference in the "work" factor. It's also not a "lazy" way out of commitment. Obviously it requires more trust and communication to pull off. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Hehe, my wife keeps me busy too. But sometimes we both like others to keep us busy. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift from email
Tutivillus, can you clarify what you mean as the difference between an open relationship vs. polyamory? - Rochelle
Poly is usually creating multiple, love-based relationships that are equal. Open is usual casual relationships based on sex where the primary relationship is key and all else is tertiary. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift from IM
