I have grown up with the idea of being monogomous, I'm curious of what others think.

It's more healthy and fun to love more than just 1 person. As long as you are able to get past jealousy, which is also unhealthy.

When you have kids there could actually be more than just 2 parents. The more parenting the child receives the better in my opinion. Sometimes 2 parents don't have enough time to raise a child (both working for example). And if there was a 3rd , 4th etc parent to be there to raise the child that would be great.

Monogamy is just an invention, that is culturally considered to be the norm, but not nessesarily the BEST or HEALTHIEST method of relationships.

If you do it right its awesome.
If you do it wrong its the worst thing ever.

For me it's the only way.

Given the number of people who cheat, have open relationships or move from relationship to relationship, I'd say it's probably not the natural order of things. I'm sure a lot of people are most comfortable with it but I don't think it works for someone who isn't to be locked into it. I think a lot of relationships and marriages would work better if it were acknowledged that one or the other partner, or both, have to have fuck someone different sometimes.

I think it depends on what you define as "monogamy." I find it hilarious that when you're in a relationship you're not allowed to even think about looking at anyone else, but once you're single you can just do whatever with whoever... until you're "in a relationship" again. I don't think that's how monogamy is supposed to work.

I do not think monogamy is for everyone, So i say do what is best for you and your partner.

Personally, monogamy is the only option.  If someone else wants to do something else with their relationships, that's their business.

I like the idea of monogamy. But it doesn't keep me happy.

Open relationships are more natural and comfortable for me.

most people love the idea of monogamy but are not good at practicing it


Very true.

It's the only thing I want. Screw that whole open relationship thing/multiple partners at a time thing. No thanks. That is how STD's and STI's are spread.

Monogamy is more natural in my opinion. People think that it's natural to want multiple partners because that is the best way to keep our species alive (and that's the basic instinct... survival of ourselves and the species) however I am of the mindset it is more natural to protect what is ours.

And if you look at partners as belongings (which many people do by habit) then... it makes sense to only have one.

it's what i'm naturally inclined to

The only reason I chose other is because I do not see myself getting married. However, I do think that a person should only have one partner at a time.
