Whilst polyamory is an interesting concept, and no doubt works for some people. (The creator of Wonder Woman lived in a polyamorous relationship with two women, who continued to live together after his death,) it’s not for everyone and it’s not a solution to infidelity. Why? Because if anything, polyamory requires being more trustworthy and more honest with your partners that monoamory does. When you’re in a traditional relationship, the rules are simple. You don’t go outside the relationship, if you do, you are a lying little cheat. When you’re in a more open relationship, then you have to be able to trust that your partner is acting within the bounds you set up whilst he or she is out and about spreading his or her love around.

As Brooke points out, we are too concerned with what other people think of us. I think some people worry that, if we all did whatever we wanted to do, there would be anarchy.

Are affairs healthier than polyamory? I don’t think so. Is pretending to be straight rather than gay, through fear of others opinions, a better way to live than being who you really are? Again, I don’t think so. We’re all different. We need to learn to get in touch with and love who we really are, including our unique preferences and desires. Read more at reachourdreams.com

Monogamy almost seems to be a thing of the past and cheating is the new lifestyle when those who are not interested in infidelity are looked at like they’re odd and somehow need to get with the program.

There was a time when people would straight up lie about being in a relationship, thinking that if they admit to having someone, potential new mates might be scared off.

Now, many people are openly willing to having sexual relations with someone who is already taken. Because of it, alternative lifestyles such as polyamory (more than one partner /relationship at a time), polygamy, and swinging have become popular.

Such lifestyles can be disrespectful and a turn-off to some and cause hurt and betrayal to those unknowingly involved. Many families’ and peoples’ lives and careers have been destroyed by infidelity in relationships, such as in David Letterman’s case, as well as other public figures in the media.
