I was reading something on reddit when i came across a comment that said "Monogamy is a choice. If you choose to be a monogamist you must fight for that every day while in a relationship." The topic i was reading about was about cheating, not mono or poly relationships
Discus:
Is being mono or poly a choice?
Are you a monogamist or a polygamist? Why?
If you are monogamous, do you feel the need to "fight every day in your relationship" to stay monogamous to your partner?
- If so, why dont you try out polygamy? Have you thought about it?
But, i never saw being poly or being mono much of a choice for a person. I know for my self personally, i could never be in a serious poly relationship. I wouldnt feel right, and i know id be jealous or overwhelmed with multiple people in my relationship. And ive got a friend who feels similarly about being poly. She feels weird if she cannot have more than one serious partner, and found herself getting easily irritated and upset when she was in a monogamous relationship
I also dont see why, if you were monogamous, youd have to battle urges to be with other people. If you have those urges, you should talk to your partner about them and possibly open the relationship. I know a lot of people in relationships have those urges to be with others and even have crushes on people, but i dont and thats why i dont understand 'the battle' or why they dont just open their relationship
