Never give up, never give in, and never say never. i have tried poly three times now, and each has been a "learning experience". Each time i walked away saying never again. Each time i have wound up drawn back to polyamory relationships. Is it because of the D/s in our lifestyle? Is it because i want a M/s relationship so much? Or could it just be i am a bisexual female who loves taking care of Others? i honestly dont know.
But i refuse to give up, refuse to give in. i believe the right poly relationship exists out there for me. Two who wish the love and devotion i have to offer. Hopefully Two who enjoy a good scene, a good romp in bed and being loved.
You have an excellent attitude and outlook shay. I'm sure your tenacity will be rewarded.
According to most accepted sources 51% of marriages end in divorce in the US. This is only the relationships that moved into marriage. Consider that very few of this 51% married the first person that they became involved with. If you consider all of the relationships that were entered into and ended before the marriages (and you accept that if those relationships ended that they must have been failures!), then the percentage of mono relationships that don't work out could be as high as 80% or higher!!!!! Well, if these relationships have such a low success rate one can hardly point any kind of finger at poly relationships as say "look it didn't work once, so it won't work at all!"
The fact of the matter is that monogamy is more a failed social convention than it is a successful natural one. This doesn't mean it is right for everyone but it certainly isn't wrong by default either.
