I want to have my cake and eat it too.

Nobody is perfect.
Nobody will ever be perfect for someone else.

But bits of many people can provide all the parts of a perfect person, and most are perfectly willing to accept the flaws as well.

So - why is it not the acceptable thing to have a lot of people, and enjoy the little bits of perfection in them all?

I think it's perfectly acceptable. If you're willing to try, you may find that poly works for you. Just remember, that polyamory is not polyfuckery. Every person I've slept with, even if for that hour or so I slept with them, I've had a bonding with. I don't just fuck because a person's pretty.

I have damn near everything in Brent that I could want. But he understands that I like women and it's a side of me I like. So he's been very open. If one day he were to tell me no, I would drop a person without any thought, and before I do anything I get his approval and rules. And it works well.

There is nothing wrong with having more than one person. Monogamy does not work for all people.
