In Defence Of Monogamy 1
FuelMix was chatting to a well educated, well travelled fag who enquired whether FuelMix had ever had a Significant Other. FuelMix replied (truthfully) that he had had only one, which lasted just over 2 years. Even though FuelMix and his SO were several hundred miles apart (but in the same time zone) and physically saw each other once a month, they kept in contact several times a day. The relationship was monogamous by prior agreement. It broke up for reasons not connected with fidelity, but as a result of each party's professional ambitions -and FuelMix's desire to return to Asia - that would have massively increased the physical distance and time zones between them.
Fag was incredulous and leery. He was visibly disgusted that FuelMix would even mention the obscenity of monogamy.
“That’s just too restrictive...!!”, fag declared “no man in his right mind would buy into that deal...!! Who wants to be monogamous..? It’s just too much trouble and besides, he probably lied to you the whole time...!!”.
FuelMix took a long hard look at the fag, realizing that in his short sentence, fag had gone from being mildly attractive to downright repugnant. There’s a lot that FuelMix can say in defence of monogamy which will in due course, unfold in this blog.
Looking at the fag, trapped in his own paradigm of distrust, FuelMix was reminded of the following:
- There are some fights you don’t get into coz you know you’re gonna lose;
- There are some fights that are just not worth getting into;
