Why Monogamy "Destroys More Lives Than it Saves"

[superfan1]

Monogamy, the belief in marriage between only two individuals at a time, is the basis for nearly all unions here in the United States (and in most localities across the globe).

As society has secularized, though, calls for looser views on how marriage should be viewed have emerged.

Monogamy works for some people and not for others. The problem is society makes us believe relationships are one-size-fits-all, and they're not. :/ I have been perfectly happy in both monogamous and polyamorous relationships; it all depends on the person/people I'm with.

Oh wow, don't read the comments at the source. Jeez.

Yeah, like james_nicoll is always saying w/r/t articles on such controversial issues, "memetic prophylactic recommended", i.e. have a cute kitty pic on hand to relieve blood pressure spike.

+1 on your own $0.02, btw.

Yeah, this. I'm poly, it's a dealbreaker for me (I feel trapped in mono relationships), but dear fucking gods, everyone is different. I fucking hate One True Way-ists.

I feel strongly the same way you do. Good comment.
