Well,
it’s Monday,
one of my days off,
still hot,
but,
I think,
it may be,
breaking:-)
My body is sore,
and my mind,
is restless.
I was reading,
Butch wonder,
I like this blog,
cool, smart,
anyway,
the latest post,
which you can read,
here
http://www.butchwonders.com/1/post/2011/07/open-relationship.html,
poses a question,
about,
open relationships.
I answered the question.
Ten years ago,
my answer would have,
been,
I believe in monogamy,
five years ago,
my answer would have,
been,
I believe in monogamy,
two years ago,
well,
you get the picture,
right?
But,
when I answered,
yesterday,
my answer was,
I’m not sure.
I was raised,
to believe,
in monogamy,
more than that,
I was raised,
to believe,
in,
’til death do us part,
it was never a,
religious thing,
more a,
that’s what people do,
they get married,
and,
then,
they spend,
the rest of their lives,
together,
for better,
for worse,
and there is,
more,
better than worse.
That love is about,
fidelity,
and commitment.
Strange,
that I,
would apply,
such an old-fashioned,
model,
to my own life,
I’ve never been,
married,
and as I’ve written,
here before,
I’m not sure,
what I think,
of marriage,
but,
commitment,
and,
monogamy,
I’ve always believed in,
but,
as I get older,
my vision,
of possible,
relationship,
models,
has evolved.
Love is,
not only,
a many splendored thing,
it may be,
the most complex,
sentiment,
that exists.
So, being in favour,
of monogamy,
is that selfish?
is it reductive?
is it turning away,
from possibilities?
I don’t know.
But, I have seen,
many,
shall we say,
unorthodox ways,
of doing,
and,
they can work.
Would they work,
for me,
the self proclaimed,
old-fashioned butch?
Maybe,
old-fashioned means,
different things,
to different people.
To me I think it,
means,
devoted,
and hopefully,
gentlemanly,
and I wonder,
if that precludes,
an open relationship?
Hmm,
much to think,
about,
and after all,
it is pretty much,
abstract:-)
But,
the question had me thinking.
I wonder,
what do the girls think?
Later girls,
