For me a Long-term Relationship and Monogamy go hand in hand pun intended... I'm not saying that is the case for everyone, some people live Polyamorous Lifestyle they have a different take on Relationships and that's great for them what makes them and their Partners happy is all that matters.
Monogamy doesn't necessarily is a part of commitment. however, all partners in a relationship should seek consent to continue seeing their respective partners. cheating is wrong.
Depends on what the couple decides to do, for some they make open relationships work.
For me then it would be based on monogamy.
Thanks.. Well said... Does it necessary have to be collaboration... When the outcome is same?
@shane85 Both people in the relationship should have a saying in what each one wants.
Alright
I think everyone has their own perspective on this matter and that's it's the art to find a partner who has the same perspective as yourself.
Very good point. Not everyone's perspective is the same on that issue.
Nice to see you back :-). I'm the former QueenOfCups.
Thank you on both.
Nice to see you too again! 🙂
This is one of those "only on the internet" things. By and large people believe in monogamy on average, they pursue that, they intend to have that life and will firmly disagree with the idea per their own life experience. That's most people.
Granted how many of them hold true to that is another question entirely
Yes, it's implied and a crucial aspect of the relationship.
What’s the point of being in a relationship unless it’s monogamous?
Exactly!
Some people doesn't open up for really deep feelings.
Some other's are just possessive and insecure, this group are the ones that makes most fucked up drama/messed up behavior.
It's just like a regular relationship, but without worrying about insecurities surrounding monogamy. I don't know what's so weird about that
A relationship period for me is monigamous as long as we’re labeled bf/gf
"relationship period"
@Jamie05rhs no like a “relationship, period, ...”
Ahh. That's an important comma, though. Lol
long term relationship means full commitment.
I am not keen in open relationships. I believe once u r in the committed relationship , your heart has to be committed too
Well, for me if I get into a relationship is to be monogamous. If not, I don't start a serious relationship, just a fling
Personally yes. But everyone has their own thing. As long as your open and honest with partner and between you you can agree parameters if you want an open relationship thats ok
I voted B. Some people enjoy unconventional relationships, like open relationships.
Not my case because I don't want to sleep with someone beside my partner, but still.
As long as it's the couple in control of everything together then I think it's ok, but only if totally agreeing on the terms
Understand all of that, but the question is: "FOR YOU, does a long term relationship mean commitment to monogamy?"
It depends on what people decide. Some couples decide an open relationship. But for me i am with monogamy as its the best way to avoid a nasty sti. And solidify relationships
Of course it does. Or do you just do anybody you feel an attraction to?
There are plenty of 'progressive' young people that think you can and should. When they implode their primary relationship then they stand there wondering where all the good men or women went to. Along and lonely. But they had their five minutes of 'fun', huh?
It absolutely is! I will never share the love of my life with someone else! Only I can enjoy and be intimate with her, and not any damn one else! She has to feel the same way as well! Open relationships aren't true relationships!
I'm always monogamous but even more so if it's long term
There you are. Wondered where you had gone to. Thought maybe you wound up Au Gratin or Hashed Browns or something.
Don't worry my fair lady, I'm still kickin
Absolutely it does.. Open relationships signal the death knell of a monogamous relationship..
Any relationship means monogamy to me, not just long term ones.
It's equal to a functional long term relationship. Nothing functional comes out from polygamy.
Polyamory can be plenty functional if the partners involved communicate well
@cipher42 until jealousy takes over.
It doesn't, as long as the relationship is well balanced and involves good communication. The key is being open about needs, and making sure you're not spreading yourself too thin
@cipher42 we all are humans and you never get to know someone fully well, or predict others behavior.
Yeah, sure. But that's an issue for any relationship.
