I think that's the type of energy that threw me for a loop the most at first. The intimation that monogamy is bad or unrealistic or unsustainable. That people who choose monogamy are naive or unenlightened.

There is room for all types of interactions as there is room for all types of people. And not everyone is attracted to the same types of people, the same music, or even the same careers. How boring it would be otherwise!

Someone pointed out to me that it isn't so much whether a specific relationship style is good or bad, but whether we choose consciously and mindfully.
Hey it is no value judgement. It is just not how I want to relate to relationships. I want actually to be happy for my girl if she would "cheat". She should be able to give in to temptation. She should not have to "restrain" herself from having sex or friendships with other people. I want to be able to be happy NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. And classical monogamy brings with it fear of loss, co dependancy, and loss of freedom (whether chosen or not). But as you said, to each their own.
