They stay single for a couple months and hop over to their next "LOVE". And post on facebook how THIS ONE actually was the one, not the last one, only to have that relationship die as well.
As I look around in person, online, experiences from several other forums, I am questioning whether or not a monogamous relationship is even realistic.
To finish this off, id like to say one last thing : I asked this question to a married woman who pretty much got offended when I asked that question. She said I was rude to even mention the thought of her being unfaithful, and that was something that was NEVER gonna happen with her and her husband. That was in 2010.
Its 6 years later, she went back to school to finish off her degree and she ended up sleeping with one of her classmates there. I mean this is a person who was SOOOOO offended at my even mentioning it, turned around and cheated.
Is wanting our partners to stay faithful realistic? Would it be better to just have fun and walk away? Or better maintain a benefits only relationship? If so, how do you fill the void after the act? Do you just wonder off alone?
TL;DR ::: Is wanting a monogamous relationship, realistic?
