Polygamy or Monogamy?

0

So I was talking to my ex gf during our break up and well the reason we broke up was because we had different views on relationships. To her, you have this main person, the one you can’t live without. But sometimes you can’t get everything from that person. So you go to another person, someone you don’t love but can get that one thing. [To me it normally sounded like something sexual. Like your main person wasn't into x so you went to another person for it.] But to me, I think if you find that right person, you won’t need to go to another person for anything else!

Just asking what your view is.

I don't know how I feel about either. Ive been in monogamous relationships only my entire life but I truly believe that what makes one person or couple happy isn't what makes another happy. I don't know if you've heard of this show called strange sex (on netflix) and they obviously explain didn't preferences. There was a woman that practiced polyamory. It could be kind of considered like polygamy but everyone practices it. So say the woman has two men she loves and has a true relationship with both of them the love the fights the relationship and man a is only with her but man b is also having a full relationship with another woman. I know you asked about polygamy but I don't think it's all just about sex. I do think that you can and do love more then one person in your life and sometimes it becomes relationships and sometimes not.

"To me it normally sounded like something sexual"

Are you sure? Maybe she was just defending the right to have friends, outside of you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was sexual because she was talking about wanting to have a three some and wanting to do it even though she knew I wasn't ok with it. Like she was saying, "What if i do that? can i?" even though I said no. SO I"m pretty sure she meant sex.

Hi china_doly;My ex were exactly the same, I love you, you are my number one, bla bla, but sometimes we should seek other people, bla bla bla. For me that always sound cheating you know, sexual or not sexual, because if you are with someone and committed to them or you should break up. being faithful show respect for the relationship and also how you are committed to her/him.
