I've been in an open relationship for the past six months. I'm finding that it is working well for me, better than any monogamous relationship ever has. In monogamous relationships i always end up feeling trapped. I just don't want to feel like i am obligated to love and/or fuck the same person for the rest of my life. This has started me wondering why i ever thought monogamy was the kind of relationship for me. I'm starting to realize that it isn't. The magic realization was that monogamy isn't necessary for love, companionship or reproduction. If you are responsible about it, there really isn't anything you can achieve through monogamy that you can't also have with polyamory(aside from monogamy itself). One of the other benefits i see in polyamory is that it forces you to constantly reevaluate your relationship with the your lovers.

So, aside from the obligatory evolutionary arguments, i would just like to hear different ideas about whether any of you believe that polyamory or monogamy are inherently right or wrong, or better or worse than one another.
