This social norm of monogamy sucks.

Why can't we have multiple people, all who make us happy in one way or another?

Then when you want a certain kind of happiness you go to that certain person.

Then I wouldn't have to be sad.

you can have multiple people that make you happy in one way or another. theyre called friends just in case people remember what platonic relationships are.

why is there this insane incessant need for absolutely everything to be centred around fucking?

personally seeing as I'm never going to have sexual intercourse in my whole entire life, because I'm never ever going to develop to the point where I'll actually get into that sort of a relationship, I don't see the point in centering anything around fucking.

Interesting post about polyamorous relationships that don't involve sex.

I think the problem with mainstream relationships comes from the way a lot of people set up their lives. They work full time, they have all these commitments, and for some people it comes down to a choice between their other half OR their friends, but not both, and so they choose their other half.

I mean, you hear all the stories about people getting married and then never hanging out with their friends again. I make a real effort to hang out with my friends a lot because I know that if I am not careful I will end up spending all my time with my b/f, because it is easier. I don't have to go out or make any effort or organise anything to spend time with him, he is just there. I think that a lot of people find they feel the same way and neglect their friendships, and maybe that is why they end up unfulfilled.
