Why is Monogamy so Toxic?

Monogamous love ends up as a sad love story.

I’ve been trying to sort through some feelings for the last few days. I can’t even process them because the basis and the root of it leaves me baffled. The fundamentals of the concerns just don’t register. Throughout the years, most of my healing process has certainly made me pragmatic.

Monogamy basically says “I love this person intimately but it’s wrong to feel this way, and I’m not allowed to act on that.” This goes against our human nature. It’s like caging a wild animal. Just because a wild animal is in a cage doesn’t mean he’s out of control. It means it’s not exploring his natural habitat. Therefore, he acts out. A wild animal in its natural habitat isn’t considered wild, but stable and at peace.

I really hate the toxic monogamous stance on love, sex and all things related. Imagine having to eat the same exact meal every single day. Forever. Until you die.

To this, I say “Absolutely not!”

Everything and everyone has its place in our lives. There is no thing or any person that can take value away from anything or anyone else.
