Monogamy

Most people would never have engaged in monogamy if they had never heard monogamy spoken of.

I would like it if people didn’t describe their relationships as “monogamous” when they mean something quite different.

Does polyamory protect against loss? I think not….

Fidelity, honesty, and commitment among the unfaithful.

Monogamy is hard. Ashley Madison is easy.

Esther Perel talks about infidelity without demonizing anyone, and gets it exactly right.

Monogamy is ascendant as a sacred cow, and the fact of rampant infidelity is taken as evidence not of a problem with how we think about fidelity, but of widespread depravity.

The woman who inspired this blog is having an affair again — just not with me, and not the honest kind.

A sexy young bartender asks me for marriage advice. My first instincts are not, shall we say, helpful. But then I get serious.

The language of monogamy is the language of faith — and of heresy.
