I was still in the "I'm single on purpose because my shit is fucked up" stage when I wrote that. Since then, I have lost 42 lbs, gained A LOT of confidence, and realized I can love all kinds of women for all kinds of reasons and if both primary partners are open to it there is absolutely no reason not to do it. Fear. Rejection. Feeling unattractive and losing my woman. No longer being the most important. On and on with the bogus reasons I clung to monogamy. I am enlightened now, my friend, but I think you already know that. ;)Shannon1981https://www.blogger.com/profile/02551944959564453089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698041877774538792.post-1927946423725543192011-07-24T09:50:14.213-07:002011-07-24T09:50:14.213-07:00Thanks for bringing this issue to light. I've ...Thanks for bringing this issue to light. I've tried having multiple partners. It isn't for me. I am a jealous bitch. But what irks me is this: people who look down upon the very idea of it, and who slut shame(something I have a HUGE PROBLEM with) those who are in open relationships. Honey, if its what you makes you happy, and your partner(s) happy, go for it. And thank you <b>SO MUCH</b> for trying to educate those who have such disdain for those whose ideas of love and relationships and commitment differ from theirs. Well said, and a much needed blog entry.Shannon1981https://www.blogger.com/profile/02551944959564453089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698041877774538792.post-12374014607028664762010-02-15T20:22:19.981-08:002010-02-15T20:22:19.981-08:00This is difficult think to think about, because it...This is difficult think to think about, because it requires us to unlearn everything the heteronormative culture has taught us about love. This is some tough shit to work out. Best of luck to you, sir. :)Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621894921503855828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698041877774538792.post-52560336993846303462010-02-09T16:33:51.827-08:002010-02-09T16:33:51.827-08:00Well and fairly stated.
