Science vs. Romance
my boyfriend of 7 months just did a study on monogamy for his psychology paper.
He had to read and analyze five articles for this paper, all of them dicussing these professional views on monogamy, relationships, and (of course) sex.
one of these Sociobiologists said that monogamy from a purely scientific view, isn't really biologically probable. That subconsciously, relationships are a instinctual practice, and before contreceptive/etc were around it merely served its purpose of perpetuating one;s genes to the next generation.
so the love and monogamy that many people hope to achieve through marriage may not be possible because it is our instinct to try and propagate our genes.
so maybe thats my problem.
i find that so depressing....and I'm a really big science person. I've heard people say that love is a mere chemical reaction, a series of hormones that stimulate feelings.
I'd like to believe that there is a such thing as love, and that two people can be happy for as long as they;d like.
I do find some hope though, in those unfailingly old cute couples....
And in Paul. he's the one person I know who can make any situation better. If I'm in a bad mood he can handle all the bullshit i sometimes put him through, and make me feel 100 times better. He is the only person I know that I've been able to spend most of my time with, and not drive each other nuts. it makes me happy. i love the feeling.
