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.

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.
