The Death of the Monogamoose.

This monogamy thing isn’t working out for me.
I’ve never faltered from it, because it, like all things, is a commitment.
But, I find myself actually dreaming of a polyamorous lifestyle.

Plus, my partner is forever unfaithful, and being noble for the sake of nobility feels silly, after a while.

Sorry to hear you're having to deal with that. Would your partner support you having a poly lifestyle? Or are you going to have to go the "if it's good for the gander, it's good for the goose" route?

Honestly, and I don't mean for this to sound insensitive, but I don't really care what they want. It was an accommodation that I made only for that person, and I've been literally dreaming about another lifestyle ever since.

The above post sounded more negative than I intended. The opportunity to return to the lifestyle that makes me happy (and do it guilt-free) is a wonderful feeling.

I've made such accomodations before myself... and it's ultimately in nobody's long term best interest (as you say, nobility for its own sake is silly after a while). I did read your post more negatively than you apparently intended, but I think it's fair to say you've made it clear what you really meant.

Not that I need to say this to you (I think you've got it covered), but enjoy!

Um...don't take this the wrong way, but why have you been staying monogamous with someone who's unfaithful? (And what does that word mean here - I hear "cheating," especially if he asked you to be monogamous for him. (And as you might guess, I find that kind of hypocrisy intolerable. (I also like parentheses. (Nested ones especially.))))

i agree with dietrich... if someone isn't living up to their side of the commitment, why should you? not a tit for tat thing, more a respect and trust thing
