People in monogamous relationships don't get "random" pregnancies? Ha! That's a good one!

people in open relationships can have more than one partner.

But she was dating both, and didn't tell one of them. It's termed polyamory, meaning a person has relationships with more than one other person. An open relationship is two people in a committed relationship who have agreed each may have other sexual partners. Either way, she is somewhat expected to share the type of relationship she expects with everyone she dates, otherwise it's just as good as cheating.

I personally believe polyamory is wrong. You shouldn't mix geek and Latin in one word.

We? Really ? I don't think you've known enough people to get that conclusion. The "big persons from upper classes" say it's a sin to have more partners or that this is the normal way of human life, and you accept it as fact in our life? If one wants to be in open relationship (or polygamy if you will) and one has the ability to be in one, then no one can judge ones desire.

As the other person said, who's "we?" Just because YOU might be jealous and possessive and prefer monogamous relationships doesn't mean everyone does. I'm polygamous and my partners and I manage fine. Monogamy is what we find unnatural and bizarre.

#67 #83 #84 Yes, We. it has been proven over and over throughout human existence that it is human nature to be jealous with lovers. Thats nit a bad thing either because some is definitely good. but it is my solid opinion that you cannot have a strong at least nearly as strong relationship with multiple people. It doesn't work, sure some can be totally satisfied having multiple sexual partners but you will never love any one of them as fully as you would being committed to one person alone and eventually no matter how secure you think you are in being comfortable with sharing, jealousy will play a part. feelings may be strongly supressed for the benefit of the other but it will. and I am not judging those who have open relationships but I don't see those people as happy or permanently happy. I find the drama and actual hate and crime that love causes is fully destructive to people's lives and that open relationships are essentually creating that directly.. it has nothing to do either assignor is a sin everyone wants to bring god into it and that puts an instant sharp rusty rod right up the asses of anyone who feels their way of life is put at jeopardy by religion but I am saying this as a smoke observation of our inescapable human nature. so you have people over zealously rebelling against all things which could be seen as the status quo or religious to the point that anything that is not anti nature is raged against when in reality there are in actually elemental facts which just ARE regardless of religion race gender or sexuality.

and yes I know multitude of typos and long ass rant but basically bullheadly using the blanket statement "it's my life" or "my choice" "you can never judge anything because nothing can ever be wrong if it's how some person feels or believes" or saying "you believe what you want that's not how I believe". those kinds of statements do not make a case.. it is the biggest "I have nothing " statement ever about as useful as saying "because" ... just saying it's way over used and seems to be the ever growing anthem of our generation. if it feels good do it no matter what and no one can judge you. but that's not true there is a right way to most things and it is societies actual DUTY to judge on that. or we end up with total decadence and chaos.

So... "society" tends to judge gay and lesbian individuals for being gay/lesbian. Obviously a heterosexual monogamous relationship is the "right way to do things." So it it "society's" DUTY to judge that homosexuality is wrong and evil?
