I'm not at all on the fence. Being monogamous doesn't have to be an act of love, but it is still a choice. I think it can be an act of love, and an act of respect for ones partner. I don't think for most that it's to avoid tension in the relationship or guilt.
I've been on my own for way too long to want to get married just to be married. Frankly, the thought scares the hell out of me, yet a good marriage is something I would like to have in my life. Not so much that I would settle for the wrong person or marry just to be married. That would just end in divorce. And I've already been there and done that.
Monogamy is a choice. It's not always an easy one. But it's still a choice. What monogamy isn't is an act of desperation. It's an act of love and trust.
She wasn't there. I'm hoping that the shelter picked her up already, but I don't know. We had reported them already. If they have her, I'll be able to get her back Monday.
If the shelter doesn't have her, I'll have to find out where they're moving to and try to get her back.
I know. Me too. She's such a sweetheart and really funny. We miss her and I'll do everything I can to get her back. Even steal her back if I have to. The plans were in the works for that, but now that they're moving, I'll have to find out where she is.
True about the strangers. I left my purse with several hundred dollars in cash, cards, everything in a shopping cart, in the parking lot of WalMart on Christmas Eve. A woman turned it in with everything still intact. She didn't take one dollar.
I've hoped she got something fabulous for Christmas like a diamond or a car.

RE: Is Marriage an Act of Desperation?
I agree with this also, Dru.
