interesting..
I dated in college in my twenties here and there
had a few mindless flings with no named young men
settled down with a nice steady boyfriend
spent the next twenty plus years married
so this lifestyle choice
though I am aware of it
I have never known anyone to choose it in my age bracket
I have on other hand known a few married couples now divorced
where cheating was involved
two philosophies at work from a biological stand point
it is a human being's natural instinct to spread dat seed far and wide
or
it is human nature to want to find a loving, secure connection with another human being in order to raise young-ins
is it true then that human beings are made to be monogamous or it is not
the answer is not usually cut and dried but depends on individual or individuals involved
full disclosure on paper sounds like a very freeing thing
only if both are being completely honest
for it would be difficult I think
if this became an unequal distribution of feelings
where one was secretly no so ok with it anymore
resentment and hurt feelings could occur
this thread the OP is given congrats for opening up and talking about this
but yet in the hi am new section
a woman talks about wanting to cheat on an already cheating sinificant other
and she is being nailed to cross for it
human nature
