Most people marry the wrong person, but I feel it wouldn’t matter if these marriages also allowed for an auxiliary partner on the side who could fulfill the needs not met by the first partner. Many relationships improve when a partner has an affair they can use as an outlet, as the objectives for each relationship are made clear and appear much more reasonable to satisfy.
Unfortunately the world is full of jealous, vindictive individuals that are emotionally under developed, and are preconditioned by generations of systemic monogamy to attack and shame anything that entertains such polygamous notions.
- trgn 6y agoI think there used to be more of a tacit understanding and silent acceptance of this. Don't ask don't tell basically. It doesn't fit the ideal that your inner and outer life should be in accordance. It's what makes americans envious of the french and their infamous 5-a-7pm window, and how normal people imagine romance and commitment between the hereditary wealthy. Those arrangements still rely on concealment though, the hurt of proven infidelity is often all too real (regardless if you're french or not). Societal norms no longer encourage or condone willful ignorance.
