Monogamy or non-monogamy?

[22_22]

What are your thoughts on monogamy or non-monogamy relationships? Have you ever tried one or the other?

To me, many people seem to prefer monogamous relationships and the latter can even cause many issues. I guess you need a lot of trust and communication, and to be into it if you want to have non-monogamous relationships.

Monogamy for me for sure.

Came across this girl on a dating app who was married and had a girlfriend. I asked her how that worked out of sheer curiosity and she said it worked fine because her husband worked out of state a lot and it gave her someone to spend time with. She didn't seem to mind talking too much about it. She was also looking to add another guy to mix.

It's not an uncommon thing in some eastern cultures; but, I think a lot of the western world was raised around the concept of one man and one woman or a partnership of two for the non-heterosexual couples.

Eeeh, each their own? I would think monogamy would be best but what Phenom said above also would work as well if couples are long far apart.

I don't care if consenting people do it but I do think it's liable to not work out well over time. Jealousy is bound to rear it's ugly head sooner or later.

This is my thinking exactly. I prefer the monogamous route just to prevent the "hurt feelings' and jealousy.

Monogamy, definitely. I'd rather know that I have someone's full attention than fight for several people's attention. Plus I am a lot to handle and I only know of 1 person, besides my family, that can handle me which is my husband. hahahahaha

Both can work depending on the people in the relationship. I exhibit very little jealousy so I think a non-monogamous relationship would work for me. My wife... SUPER jealous. Couldn't do it. So... we're monogamous.

I'm all for monogamy in a relationship. I may have been faithful, but every woman I've been with couldn't keep it in their pants. However that hasn't stopped women from seeing other men and lying about it to my face. So, it must be a me problem seeing as I just pick the wrong women.

Monogamy for me. I like to be. in a one man one woman relationship. Any other thing for me will just be chaos and I detest such

 

[MYC]

Definitely monogamy for me. A relationship involving multiple partners would be chaotic and complicated.

Monogamy is an ideal thing to practice. However, not all people can do this.
