Monogamous relationships are a dead concept. I think it was fine when the average life expectancy was like 40 to 60 years old but with how long minders humans live, I think it’s okay to have two to three serious long term relationships with people. The other reason was to take care of your kids but even if dad or mom runs off these days, they have to pay child support. My dad tried to do that and he got bitched slapped by the court for failing to pay 🤣
The reason I think having 2 to 3 serious relationships is okay is based on time. Think about this in the terms of decades. If you’ve spent you’re entire 20’s with someone you’re not the same person you were when you turn 30. It’s okay to evolve, change, grow and REALIZE that person is no longer compatible with you.
Despite my argument that a decade is long, as a man entering his mid 40’s I can tell you for a fact that my decades feel pretty short. It’s kind of scary to realize I’ve wasted so much time with the wrong people but I’m glad I’m with the one I have now. She was worth the wait and the bullshit I had to endure.
