Relationships; What I don’t understand.

A little insight into Polyamory and Open relationships in the eyes of me:

Polyamory:

Wiki defines polyamory as the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate sexual relationship at a time with the consent of everyone involved…

Personally, I don’t see how these things work. I really don’t understand how one person can have intense, meaningful, and loving relationships with more than one person.

I mean seriously… You all know how tiring it is having – one- relationship and keeping that interesting and full of love.. What kind of imbecile is crazy enough to try to do that with multiple persons?

What. The. Fuck?!

To be perfectly honest, I just don’t get it. The boat left and I wasn’t on the boat.

I mean seriously, how fucking greedy do you want to be?!
“holy shit! If I play this polyamory game, I can have all the partners I want.”

You greedy idiot.

Open Relationships:

Same goes for open relationships. What a fucking cop out.

You can’t decide on what the fuck it is that you want, so you find someone, enter in to a relationship with them and then say “oh, by the way, I’m allowed to fuck around with whoever the fuck I want.”

Get fucked, idiot.

Who the hell do you think you are? Some kind of god? Relationships were meant for a man and a woman (no, asshole, I’m not anti-gay. I’m pro rights for same sex marriages) not a woman and several men.

Seriously, why not just proclaim to the world that you’re an indecisive, nymphomanic, commitment-phobe?

Stupid fucks.

On that note, my opinion of cheating is somewhat complicated.

The way I see it is that it’s not so much the act as the intent behind it.

For the record, I am a serial monogamist. I have never cheated on someone, although I have been cheated on more times than I care to count. <emo />
Okay, so how does this work for me?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I give you hypothetical A:

Bella and Edward have been chatting online for months and decide to meet up. They hit it off really well and decide to make things official. Bella is blissfully happy with Edward and they lead an awesome sex life (lol). Edward, on the other hand, doesn’t really dig the idea of monogamistic relationships and decides to fuck others behind Bella’s back.  He never comes clean to Bella until she finds out from someone else that he’s been fucking around on her.

Cheating.

Hypothetical B:

Bella and Edward have been chatting online for months and decide to meet up. They hit it off really well and decide to make things official. Bella is blissfully happy with Edward and they lead an awesome sex life (lol). After about 6 months, Edward decides that the sex is now boring and he is losing interest, but being fiercely monogamistic, he sticks it out. It takes Edward about 8 months of being with Bella to realize that he doesn’t love her, and has sex with another girl.

Not. Cheating.

I can hear you asking why, and this may cone as somewhat of a suprise, but because Edward no longer has feelings for Bella, I would not see this as cheating. In my opinion, if he went one step further and was honest about not wanting to be with just one person from the start, I wouldn’t even think that he’s an asshole.
However, the situation would be different if Edward still liked Bella but was so greedy that he wanted his finger in all the honeypots.

I can hear the arguments now, “zomg, why didn’t he leave Bella first?” Because he didn’t feel like it? I don’t know and or care.
The part that’s important to me is the intent behind the act.
If you wanna fuck more than one person, be open and honest about it, don’t hide behind alcohol/drugs as an excuse, come out and admit that you’re not manogamistic. How fucking hard is it?

Call me a cunt, I don’t care. My opinion is mine, don’t like it? Get your own.
