Given the divorce rate, we know that only someone of exceptional inner fortitude can resist the urge to wander or start again with another partner. Is it reasonable, then, to expect your current partner to be monagamous? Or yourself for that matter?

I believe that it is very unnatural to only be with one person. It is human nature to want to spread our seed. However, if you have decided to commit yourself to one person you must be true to them and only them. If you don't think it would be possible for you participate in a monogamous relationship, maybe you need to find another person that shares your same ideas and values on relationships.

It is absolutely possible. Our society today is a product of the 60's and media hype. Many people were raised with traditional values. Cheating is about choices. I have never ever in my life "accidentally" spread my legs and "oops" a man fell in. Ain't never in history happened. So, the answer is to meet someone who has morals and values love and respects you. I had a husband that cheated and have now met someone who had a wife that cheated. That has helped us appreciate each other because we both know we are good companions and don't believe in cheating. Many women are looking for a man who will just be faithful and kind to them.Good luck

Of course it's reasonable to expect your current partner to be monogamous...and your/myself.
The problem in today's society is that a lot of couples are rushing for the altar before giving the relationship a chance to grow and mature. People need to have patience and give it time....and wait for the intimacy until both are ready and the love is there.

Yes it is. I have been married for 12 years most of them bad but I have never strayed. I one thought about it, but i just could not do it. Instead I focused my energy on making my marriage better ans succeeded. Sure I look at other women, but it makes me think of my wife even more. Within those 12 years I have wondered if my wife has cheated on me due to the lack of sex. Well if I didn't, why should I think she did? We both have always felt the same way about cheating, her first love cheated on her, my first love cheated on me. I can honestly say, good or bad which we already went though, we will stay together forever!

It can be if we choose it to be... It is a mindset and is our choice whether we want it to be possible or not. We choose to love and stay true and faithful and devoted or not to. It is all about choice.... I myself choose to stay true and faithful to my marriage and husband and monogamous. It is worth it and it leaves a positive and moral legacy for my kids as well and they respect and love us for it and look up to us. It is very reasonable to expect your partner or spouse to be monogamous..... This is not asking to much and if it is do not stay with that person or ever marry them to begin with. There would be alot less divorce and problems in marriage and in the world if we chose to be monogamous and live right and moral lives. The word divorce should not even be in the marriage dictionary. This is a soul searching question... Thanks so much for asking it!

Absolutely.
People need to learn to grow up, not just go screwing around "because it feels good", and get back to basics.
Date for at least a year, marry, WORK equally on keeping the relationship good, and you won't WANT to not be monogamous.
I've been married 11 years now to the man I lost my virginity to on my wedding night.
He's the only lover I've ever had, and as far as we're concerned, it's death 'til us part...and no, I'm not a religious freak, either.

There are cases of each variety of preparations outdoors of monogamy. although, they generally would desire to do with land and supplies. working example a woman interior the hills region of Nepal would marry diverse brothers, yet it rather is because of the fact there is usually no longer adequate usable land to distribute among the sons. Many extra cultures enable for adult adult males to marry extra beneficial than one woman, although, the adult adult males would desire to have the potential to offer for all of his different halves. i think of in our society, in maximum situations monogamy is terrific. although, staring at it anthropologically, i'd desire to work out how polygamous existence would desire to become extra regular interior the destiny, given the financial downturn maintains to be as this is or gets worse. If there are extra human beings in a relationship mutually, you're extra probably to have the potential to handle childcare interior your loved ones and nevertheless have diverse earning, mutually as pooling supplies mutually. i do no longer think of this would ever become the norm although, according to threat purely incredibly extra regular.

it is resonalble to want it and think that yourp[artner will be faithfull,those who do cheat just have not found there one true love,there is a difference between love and true love when you find true love nothing and no one else will mateer for as long as god has in store for both of you,if it is not true love then definately monogamy is out of the question

Good Luck.

YOU CAN TRUST ANYBODY even yourself
(never say never) but it's possible to be with one person. It's really hard work but believe me it's worth it:)
