is an unnatural societal construct that was brought about by religion. Some people choose to follow their instincts. It's only a problem when people don't realize this, swear monogamy to someone, and can't stand by it. Cheating is not an issue if you have an open relationship and an open mind.

Non monogamy? Depending on the couple/circumstances there are alternatives to monogamy or cheating. For many people monogamy is great, for others not so much but it doesn't condemn you to being single.

why the F would i swim, when I could just float on my leaky ship until a better one comes along and then jump ship!

You would do that and swim out of basic respect for the other human being you claimed to love, cherish and respect. Marriage has nothing to do with religion and never has. In a free and tolerant society it's a commitment to be a team together, through hard times and good ones.

You are a gold digger, a word which has many, more appropriate synonyms that suite you better.

Sociopaths have no empathy, just like cheaters. Thieves. Liars. Criminals.

Reputations spread very quickly in the digital age. Good luck, lady.

Strange that you assume that " pirate" was female. Strange that I assumed it was a male...guess we've both been burned.

Because our nation has become cowards and cowards lack backbones to say no to that little voice in their puny heads.

Never been down that road never will. No pof, no tinder no online loser apps , just be real.

Monogamy is not dead. I am very monogamous by nature (married 20 yrs already) , same with all of the friends that we grew up with. Same with all of our/their parents and all of our/their children. This is not as rare as you paint it nor as difficult, rather it is very rewarding. There are lots of different lifestyles out there - ours just doesn't get much attention I guess. And no, I'm not from a small town, I'm from Vancouver.

Just posted but I forgot to say that No, we are not religious.

I am sorry you don't understand what has happened to the dating world. I wonder what time period you are yearning for though, as the dating world has always been filled with scoundrels. And good folks. Sort of like the world in general.

non-monogamy is just a convenient excuse to justify cheating.
