Gay Monogamous Relationships? Why so Rare?
For the longest time I've been leaning toward finding myself a monogamous relationship (when I haven't been trying to run from interested people at least). Honestly though, I'm finding it very difficult to even find anyone else who's looking for that. Why are monogamous relationships so rare? When I do find someone who might be interested in one, it turns out (1) that's not what they really want or (2) They sleep around on you anyways.
Do people just say that they want monogamy just to get laid? That drives me nuts. Tell me, am I nuts, or are there other people who are honestly looking for a monogamous relationship? Please be honest, I'm getting to the point of giving up and thinking about looking for anything I can find... I've always been open to an open relationship, but would like to be told ahead of time that's what's wanted. I don't appreciate finding out an open relationship is desired by finding out I'm being cheated on.
One other thing that drives me nuts is the lifespan of a gay relationship in general. It seems like it's anywhere from 6 months to 2 years in the furry community. Why don't people seem willing to keep a relationship alive? Just jumping into something very quickly that you're not ready for? I know one reason and one reason only straight relationships work: Children keep them together. There's nothing to keep people tied in a gay relationship, except their common interests and common desire to make it work. If one doesn't want it to work or wants something else, then it's already over.
