I don't see monogamy as unnatural at all, I see pretending to desire one person your whole life as very unnatural especially when the desire has gone!

I think monogamy just isnt natural, you are entitled to feel that way.

I’ve had two marriages and three long relationships
I’m afraid I just get bored , maybe it’s me ?
Just not cut out to be monogamous.I enjoy life’s experiences
Life’s too short to be tied down ( unless it during sex )😉

Monogamy works for many, if they're happy.
Obviously for those where intimacy has gone out of the relationship it doesn't.

Supposed 'Classy lady77', I really don't understand why you had to bring up your religion. A middle aged woman trying to do the 'Catholic school girl routine'?

Hilarious! ( and a little pathetic/depressing)

Stick to keep going on about how fabulous your last 'affair' was!

I was faithful for 20 years.. Always felt like there was something missing. I had a sense of I wanted another man but kept that under wraps..

I’m a good Catholic girl with high morals (usually) . This does against everything I’ve been taught.. BUT I’m happy and feel more fulfilled when I’ve got a regular lover.. II just want some respect and find someone who’s not a player.. My last affair set the bar high...

It's unnatural, it's a society norm, cemented in by ceremony and religion. When you were young and 'free' did you have several partners. Yes I guess, moved from one g/b friend to the next, you didn't worry about having different partners.

Think of it another way. If monogamy is natural why do patriacal religions insist on it in their doctrines or rules?

Or another way, how do genetic pools mix so effectively without partner mixing.

Some societies actually promote multiple partners, Mormons and Islamic groups, but they are male rules really, the females are out if they take multiple partners.

It's a one sided coin very often.

Probably why we hide out on IE.

One way or another everyone on here is abandoning, or seriously contemplating, abandoning monogamy.

For monogamy to work both partners have to be invested in it. It has to be what you both want. My view is that everyone here is no longer invested no matter what their original position.

The question is, how did you get here?

Monogamy is perfectly natural. Selfishness is not
