Comment on Gallium

Uhhh, if you donpt like marriage, how about don’t get married?! This isn’t rocket science… They both got married. They both signed the social contract that by default means exclusivity, regardless of what you think.

Even married, you can have an honest discussion with your spouse about seeing other people (preferably before you get married), then just tell them you’re going to see Coleplay with your work girlfriend. Like it’s not illegal, and it’s not even wrong unless you make it wrong by being a shady little shit about it.

Just like fuckin… talk to each other about your feelings. God.

  I love how you’re being downvoted for stating the most obvious solution.

  My besties have been in an open relationship for years and it works because of communication, trust, and trying to deserve said trust.

No, I want it abolished as a social expectation of the “default” situation.

  No one forces a marriage to be monogamous…

    There’s no technicality about it. The people that get married are the ones who determine the exclusivity of the marriage.
    
    Like, it’s even dumber than that because if you didn’t have marriage, you’d still have people in exclusive relationships, so wtf are you complaining about?

    I understand how shitty conservative social norms are to those repressed by them, but this usage of marriage as an example is… rather ridiculous.
