I didn't really know ho to choose between B and C. I personally think that open relationship can be good. And I definitely can love without sexual exclusivity. I think each couple should be able to define themselves what they want for their relationship.
It depends on what you or your partner wants. I've been with my husband for almost ten years now and monogamy is something that is important for us. However, when I was younger I was in a polyamorous relationship and it worked well for us. We were all happy and never had issues because we communicated and knew what we wanted. The same with my husband, neither us have ever had the need or want to explore other options (with or without each other) and both of us know that, if he came to me and decided he wanted to have a threesome or something like that as long as the person we'd do it with was someone I liked and respected, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
God intended for us to marry one man/woman and only have sex when married. God's standards (which is the truth of the world) does not change just because humans want to do whatever they desire. Many more problems occur from not sticking to one person at a time than there is in marriage.
To me, being commited goes beyond voluntarily and mutually agreeing to have sex with other people or have threesomes. Commitment does not count if you are in an open "relationship" which I refuse to acknowledge as a relationship in the first place.
Monogamy is essential.
If I'm in love, YES. One woman will do. Always.
If I'm just having a Good time, I don't mind. But, if the girls find out, then, it's over. /:
Even if it's a "Free", Girls don't like to share their man. It has happened to me.
One time, I ask a girl to be my Girlfriend and she said "No", but, she was willing to have sex with me anytime, anywhere.
So, I started seeing other girls and the girl who said "No", started saying that I didn't wanted something serious that I was just a player.
I mean, COME THE FUCK ON! I asked her to be my girlfriend, she said "No"!
What am I supposed to do? All of a sudden it's my fault she didn't wanted to be official?
See what I mean?
Peace. (:
Long term relationship is only defining the relationship by time. So friendships count if they're long enough; mentors, teachers, personal trainers etc... What defines a relationship is not monogamy. You can have relationships that are romantically exclusive, monogamous and long term. But that is not the only long term relationship that can be defined.
Definitely
If you have a boyfriend and you both wanna let each other hook up or mess around sometimes, I have no problem with that, but it's not for me. I'm a jealous little creature :-).
Girl, me too! I am definitely not into sharing.
@KatherineJ totally
Me too. Ain't nobody fucking my girl but me. Couldn't even look at her if she was fucking another douche
You can have an open long term relationship. If that is what you both truly want, good for you. You can also have a committed, long term, relationship with three or more people. Like a relationship where three people are all exclusive to their other two partners. Again, if that is what you want, good on you.
That being said, I do think most people still want monogamous relationships.
It’s true that things have been changing over the years and things such as polyamory is becoming more normal but nah, monogamy all the way for me. I don’t share and don’t want anyone other than my partner.
Moral values don't ever change. The younger naughty kids today make it like get with the times so they can get a free pass from society making it ok to screw everyone in site and of course they always claim well he's my boyfriend so its ok. How many times are they going to use that excuse? Which is wrong at any times
I believe monogamy is VERY important for a long term relationship. If I’m going to date, I would only date with the intention of things being long term.
Chose B. I prefer open relationships and can’t stand monogamy, personally speaking.
Ah well aren’t you a delight. Reported.
Happy trolling
Now is that truly necessary? Such harsh language oh my
My oh my I am so offended 🙄 get a life and take a hike
You are so sweet!! by the way where can buy a life? I might need extra one🤣🤣🤣🤣
Figure it out. Any further communication and I’ll consider it harassment and I’ll get a mod involved. Good day.
Thanks for making my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@OlderAndWiser
I can't PM you unless you follow me.
Ah apologies :)
Man you and I disagree fundamentally here but why the heck is harassment necessary..
Disagreement is perfectly fine. Pretty sure I know who it is, and if so, it’s not the first time he’s done it. This was just the most blatant in a while.
Yeah I'm sorry that sucks..
Who are you really talking to with those 4 first comments on your own opinion?
@crazy8000 she likely reported them and the comments were deleted. The guy was being an asshole..
It's better to erase everyone in that case since she's gonna look like a mental patient from sing sing.
@crazy8000 Admin keeps track of how many comments you have removed and if it gets excessive, they may terminate your account, so we don't hide the innocent user's comments, even if what remains makes them look mental.
I'm old school in this respect so you can't change my mind about it
I have no desire to try to influence your opinion. I, too, am old school!
Lol I don't mean you.. No one can change my mind, though I am open minded, I can understand others but I find it hard within to change that feeling
Got it!
No. I don't need monogamy, in fact I'm rather happier being in a poly relationship. All the benefits of a regular relationship without any of the nonsense drama that can come with weird boundaries around monogamy.
It has, then it hasn’t, then it has, and now it doesn’t. And as you stated, long term relationship, so it is not a casual hookup. It has fluctuated according to my age, life experiences, what I want from a relationship, and my self-confidence.
@OlderAndWiser Also, I’ve learned you can’t keep a man who doesn’t want to be kept and people are capable of loving more than one person. I am not competitive. You don’t have to get all your desires from one person. That’s too much pressure. Lol
Yes it does. I've been cheated on before, multiple times by my first serious boyfriend the same year I started college and that pretty much destroyed me. I wouldn't inflict that on other people.
Depends on the dynamic. For myself, my own mentality lies more in monogamy than polygamy, and I could never have a short-term relationship that wasn't monogamous, let alone a long-term one. There are individuals who are polygamous, and they take better steps towards their long-term relationships (Communication being a big one) that monogamous couples are too afraid to take.
Yeah and it's the best thing in the world to be able to share your life and love with ONLY ONE PERSON
I don't know who I'll be in the future, so I guess I'm leaving this open ended
Right now, yes, monogamy is definitely what I want cuz that's beautiful to me. But, maybe my mind will be opened in the future, I don't know
Yes, to me it means monogamy. I don't believe in open relationships.
