What seems obnoxious and annoying is how we keep claiming to each other how we'll be monogamous, when we have no idea what our future selves will be like, and if they will want to be monogamous.

What isn't strange isn't monogamy or polygamy, it is the idea that we will claim to be monogamous forever, when clearly for a VERY LARGE portion of the planet, it just doesn't work that way.

You can call people Cheating Pieces Of Shit, but that doesn't make them cheat any less nor does it resolve the issues.

No, actually, some people cheat and don't give a shit, some people cheat and feel guilty, some don't cheat and feel cheated, and some don;t cheat and feel great. See? There's a continuum. "We" don't have anything to do with it. Some of us DO know what we will be like, set a standard and live up to that standard. It's not like "future me" is just some unforeseeable circumstance that each of us will one day run into. Each of us is a product of the influences that came before the time when a commitment is made, and, duh, for some of us that works out just dandy.

Please wait...
