It seems to me that society now laughs at the idea of monogamous relationships, or relationships in which two people have never had other sex partners. Why is it so wrong to wait for a partner that has also been waiting?

I have only had one sex partner, and I am happy with the way things are. I cannot imagine her cheating on me and being with someone else, emotionally or physically. People tell me I should explore and have some fun, but I have simply never believed in that.

You know, I think that's the best way to find the right one.

Good for you
Who knows why our society thinks sleeping around is so freeing. I think it probably is emotional bagage and when you think of the things you can catch in this day and age...yikes.

What you have is wonderful! Wish you much happiness always!

I believe in monogamy and always have. Unfortunately, I can't turn the clock back in the hope of being in your shoes...

It is unfortunate for some, because I know many people who would love to be in my position but can't because they chose the wrong person.

To me, the emotional pain would kill me on the inside. I don't think love is something to mess around with. I brought this thread up because a friend of mine who was in a committed relationship got cheated on by his girlfriend. She'd been sleeping around with one of his co-workers. The thought of it makes me a little angry, because it seems so selfish. As far as I know, they didn't have any problems. She just isn't the type of person to be tied down to one guy. But even still, if that is the case then don't get into relationships in the first place unless your ready.

I believe in monogamy, and I am in a monogamous relationship. Sure, we have had other partners previous to our relationship, but that's to be expected. Hell, I was engaged before (thank God that didn't work out, as it would not have worked out well at all).

Still, I would not want to turn back the clock. I've lived my life in an interesting fashion, and I wouldn't want to go back and change most of those times. I had my fun, I had my other relationships, and now I have the one that, I feel, "fits" perfectly (although neither of us is perfect, and we have our odd moments ), and the one that feels like...forever.

That's monogamy for me, for us.

I believe in monogamy..

But i think men don't (at least those that im attracted to. Pls dont ask me to settle for that nice boy sitting at the coffee shop downstairs.)

So how do we correct this? Or should we just ignore it.

the gift of monogamy is trust.
