Strangely enough, considering my faith in humanity is in the negatives, I do believe that monogamy exists and that it can work. Personally, I wouldn't ever enter a polygamous relationship. I'm a Roman Catholic born and raised in a very religious country. I am against divorce. Generally, I am against abortion. I am against gay adoption, but not gay marriage - but that's for another blog. It stands that I wouldn't ever enter a polygamous relationship.

I am not against it, no. It's just that I would never be polygamous myself. It's partly because of my religious upbringing, but the main reason is that I just don't understand polygamy. I'm a hopeless romantic; to me, there is only one "The One". I can only have romantic feelings for one person. I don't understand how polygamous people can have feelings for more than one person at the same time. (Unless the polygamy in question is of a sexual nature. If it is, all I can say is that I hope that all of your partners know that you're having sex with another person and that you're all tested for STDs.) So yeah, polygamy would never work out for me, because I don't understand it to begin with.

So, monogamy: it exists. It can work. It works for me. If you don't really love and trust and share with your significant other/spouse/whatever, it can be boring. But if your "The One" is truly "The One", then it's a really beautiful thing.

And can I say that if you're married and things aren't working out with your husband/wife, cheating/having an affair is not the answer? Like I said, I am against divorce - to me, marriage is the biggest commitment you'll ever make and if you're going to go through with it, you'd better make sure you love that person and are ready to spend the rest of your life with them - but I'd rather you separate or divorce your spouse than cheat on them. Having said that, I don't think you should divorce the moment you're having problems. WORK IT OUT, people. Share your secrets, let everything out. Don't repress your feelings. Go see a marriage counsellor, if you like.

And this is how a simple answer to a simple, weirdly-worded writer's block question turned into a lecture to people about to divoce.

Final note! To all you polygamous people out there: as long as all of your partners know that you've got other partners, I don't dislike you. XD
