Reply #37: Possession?

If you have not made a vow, contract, or anything else that you will remain faithful to the other, then do as you please. No control.

If however, you stand up in front of your family, friends, deity of choice, or your local JP and pledge fidelity, then you have no argument. You CHOSE to enter a contract that includes fidelity.

People don't own each other, and I find it unreasonable to think we can or should only ever love or be attracted to one person at a time.

Fine. Just let your partner know BEFORE you get involved with them. If they choose to not play along, so be it. If you choose to enter into a relationship that promises fidelity, man/woman up and leave the relationship. Cheating is for cowards.
