Hello ranters friends ❤️. I hope you are doing well. I haven't been here a long time to complain about something or talk about a random topic so today the day arrived. It occurred to me to reflect on this topic that is talked about a lot on my social network that doesn't pay me anything (tw*tter): is about monogamy and polyamory 😃.
Hola amigos ranters ❤️. Espero que estén bien. Hace mucho no paso por aquí a quejarme de alguna cosa o hablar de un tema random así que hoy llegó el día. Se me ocurrió reflexionar sobre este tema del cual se habla mucho en mi red social que no me paga nada (tw * tter): se trata de la monogamia y poliamor 😃.
I think that in recent years there has been a lot of work on the deconstruction and questioning of romantic love. Some things that once seemed fine to us now seem "toxic relationship" to us, such as jealousy or horrible phrases like "you're mine or you're not anyone's". This is a breakthrough in respecting and valuing yourself to build healthier relationships.
Pienso que en los últimos años ha habido un gran trabajo sobre deconstrucción y cuestionamiento del amor romántico. Algunas cosas que antes nos parecían que estaban bien ahora nos parecen de "relación tóxica", como por ejemplo los celos y frases horribles como "sos mía o no sos de nadie". Esto es un gran avance en materia de respeto y valoración de uno mismo para construir relaciones más sanas.

One of the things people my age talk about on Twitter is "free love." This consists of ceasing to see your partner as your property and recognizing him as a person who can have feelings or desire for someone else, even if he is in a relationship with you. From this arise open couples or polyamorous relationships, where you can have more than one partner at a time.
Una de las cosas que habla la gente de mi edad en Twitter es sobre el "amor libre". Esto consiste en dejar de ver a tu pareja como de tu propiedad y reconocerlo como una persona que puede llegar a tener sentimientos o deseo por alguien más, aún estando en pareja contigo. De esto surgen las parejas abiertas o las relaciones poliamorosas, en donde puedes tener más de una pareja a la vez.

Well, this seems like a great concept to me, because each person is free to do what they want with their life and feelings cannot be denied, but I do not know if one day I could apply it to a relationship of mine. Perhaps I am an "orthodox monogamous" as I say jokingly, but I cannot imagine reaching an open-minded level to bear that a boyfriend of mine has some kind of sex-affective relationship with another person. I admire people who tolerate it, but I definitely couldn't be one of them. The exclusivity of a couple still seems romantic to me.
Bueno, esto me parece un concepto genial, pues cada persona es libre de hacer lo que quiera con su vida y los sentimientos no pueden negarse, pero no sé si algún día podría aplicarlo a una relación mía. Quizás soy una "monógama ortodoxa" como digo en broma, pero no me imagino llegar a un nivel de mente abierta como para soportar que un novio mio tenga algún tipo de relación sexo-afectiva con otra persona. Admiro a las personas que lo toleran, pero yo definitivamente no podría ser una de ellas. La exclusividad de la pareja me sigue pareciendo algo romántico.

What do you think about this? Am I too old-fashioned for this 21st century for not opening up to polyamory? 😅
¿Qué piensan sobre esto? ¿Acaso soy muy anticuada para este siglo XXI por no abrirme al poliamor? 😅
Thanks for reading ❤️.
Gracias por leer ❤️.

I don't think people are suited for open relationships. Some people can do it, but I think it is too much trouble for most people.
Some animals have evolved to be monogamous as a survival strategy. Humans have evolved to be monogamous too, that's nature.
I don't know how those who can do it do it. I once knew a girl who had a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Her family knew them both, but separately. She never went to a meeting with the two of them together. That must be weird for everyone 😅.
To each their own is all I can say in that regard lol. Not my cup of tea for sure! One is enough for me! Plus the sexual part with one can get to a great stage as well where you are far more in-tune to them. That required enough effort and dedication, thinking of knowing all that twice is tiring lol
Good point of view. Too much work would be to have 2 partners. Imagine double anniversary gift, double date, double fights hahaha. NOT!
Lol yeah, no thanks! One is perfectly acceptable to me!
