Search Results: relationship commitment

I'll make the argument that it is selfish to want someone's attention in a romantic sense for yourself. Yes it's perfectly normal to want that, and I am 100% in favor of monogamous relationships, but you are thinking of yourself when you propose being mutually exclusive, aren't you? Regardless of what you offer in the proposed relationship, you're still benefiting from it, and consequently denying other potential partners (again thinking of monogamous relationships). You don't typically stop to think about who else is interested in your potential partner, therefore it involves a lack of consideration for others and is selfish. Normal, and perfectly acceptable, but still selfish behavior by definition I think.
