Wondering how many of the members here have reached a mutual understanding with their married partner within the context of the new monogamy.
The new monogamy is the recognition that marital attachments involves a more fluid idea of connection to the primary partner than is true of the ‘old monogamy’. Each partner assumes that the other is, and will remain, the main attachment, but that outside attachment of one kind or another are allowed - as long as they don’t threaten the primary connection.
Basically is a happy marriage still where you eat your outside food and I eat my outside food without the unnecessary tension.
