MONOGAMY- Does It Really Exist?

                       MONOGAMY- Does It Really Exist?

Monogamy by common definition means having one partner at a time or having feelings for just one person at a time. It is considered to be very important in any relationship be it marriage, live-in or in couples. It is considered that when you are in love or like someone that it is wrong to have even feelings or fantasy or have even a slight attraction towards someone else. If you are with someone, you can just be with him or her in every sense. In marriage, it becomes more important as you vow to love your partner until death does you apart. It also becomes important due to the fact that if the society finds out you were not monogamous your standing in it would be lost. To be monogamous in your relationship means, you are truthful and respectful to your partner.

Well according to me, monogamy does not exist as many people think it does. It does sound like a nice idea to judge the purity of someone’s love but it is just hypothetical. A monogamous person is the same as a person who has never lied they both do not exist in reality. A person can surely love a person at a time but it does not mean that he or she cannot have feelings for someone else nor have even a slight bit of attraction towards someone other than their partner. Some people may act on their feelings while bury it as not to be labeled a cheater. People in marriages are bound to their partners and kids and cannot even think about someone else. One more reason that is possible is that people are afraid of the rules made by our society. If society finds you to be polygamous, it ridicules and labels you, forever losing your stand in the society. To be honest every person during his or her relationship has once been attracted to someone else. It depends on that person whether to act or forget or tell their partner and move on.

Nevertheless, having feelings for someone else becomes wrong when you hurt the person who is with you for someone else. It makes them lose faith in people and love. The person who does that should deserve not to be loved by anyone, as they never appreciated their partners feeling. So to end it all monogamy is just something created by us to be better than others and make us feel proud of ourselves.
