Excellent, makes sense to me; I completely agree. I think people who would prefer to have multiple relationships are really not familiar with or not comfortable with the complexity, depth, and intensity of a truly intimate relationship.
Now, since we have a history of commenting on each others pics...that friggin picture is scary..... seriously
Well, perhaps people are not meant to be monogamous permanently, but while they are in an relationship, I believe most people prefer to be exclusive. The depth and complexity of a real intimate relationship precludes the reality of sharing that with more than one partner. It may be possible to love more than one person, but not to the depth that most people want in a real relationship.
I have always lived in the city, except once for a year I lived in a small town. It was not a good year for many other reasons, so I can't really gauge if it was the small town I was unhappy with....there were other things going on that year...one was dealing with a huge loss and mourning/grieving all that year...so...But, I had been living in a big city, a really nice, beautiful big city, and missed that.
However, I think Europe is different than North American...you can live near big cities, but in villiages or in the country and have access to all the amenities of the city pretty easily. That is really appealing to me...I live in apartments now, and would love to have a house, space, a garden again, a big dog, etc...which mean either suburbia or the country...so, I'm not quite sure...I love being in the country and away from the city, but also love the city...need to find a place that is the best of both worlds...
I think it is most likely not a realistic way of life...don't think human beings are programed to have this kind of openness in intimate relationships...
This type of thing may work in the short term, but not in the long term...people who are intimate get involved and emotionally attached...this type of thing seems to be too limiting in how invovled you get because there are multiple partners...
Actually, sounds kind of like BRAVE NEW WORLD....a kind of ideal that doesn't actually work because it isn't actually natural for human beings, who are very emotional beings: dystopia.
If there is anything I don't like here, I guess it would be a cultural issue...the teutonic state of mind or outlook...generally it is very nice here, people are pretty 'green' they recycle and take care of the enviornment, better than other places anyway, they are clean and well organized, the lifestyle is intelligent and reasonable...however, they are a bit too organized and in control for me....I like a bit of mess and chaos...so, I feel I would prefer southern Europe...given my travel experiences there..a little mess, a little chaos, a little more warmth of character and personality...not to mention actual weather warmth, ha ha
But it's, Germany, a nice place...no real complaints..
RE: What makes the person above you so unique and how do you rate their freindship?
I don't know her but she is a young single mother trying to do her best and I applaud that.
