Monogamy sure sounds like a four letter word these days, am I right? With the latest celebrity separations and divorces (I’m looking at you, Mark Anthony and Jennifer Lopez), it’s beginning to seem that way more and more. I mean, come on, it makes you wonder if its really worth being monogamous if it just ends up discarded like a used tissue on the floor.
The word monogamy seems deader than Latin, especially among younger couples. And that is due to a lack of communication these days in relationships. Most of the time one partner says that the two of them have agreed to stay faithful to each other, while their other half claims that no such agreement existed. It’s another case of the he said, she said scenario.
Where we are honest in our intentions and idea of monogamy, most are dishonest in their actions, and, well, we can use the excuse that we’re only human here I suppose—maybe. It begs the question though: do some people need more than one partner in order to be satisfied, or are people, as a whole, just duped into believe that we are supposed to be with only one person?
Love And The Black Woman wants to here your thoughts on the “idea” of monogamy. Do you think it exists, or is it just a lie we’re told about from the moment we start having relationships?
Let your voice be heard, readers!
