[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On one hand, most relationships that are declared/intended to be monogamous ultimately do not remain so - someone cheats, or the relationship ends.

On the other [b]hand, it's hard (for me at least) to imagine a non-monogamous relationship having enough "glue" to survive real life challenges (sickness, financial ruin, etc) - which is an important reason why we have relationships. [/b]

I dunno. I "get" the idea of non-monogamy, it just seems fraught. Of course, so is monogamy. So are all relationships.

It sounds like you have a good relationship. If you were my friend, I would ask you - what do you think of just enjoying it and see where it goes/where your feelings on this go? If that idea doesn't (or does) sit well with you, maybe you have your answer?

The bold above would be my concern. If  the relationship is built on “what suits me” what happens when things get tough and it no longer suits me. Maybe the idea is lots of other strong friendships to help you through?[/quote]
