Monogamy

“If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.” Johnny Depp has a point.

But maybe some people just can't be in monogamous relationships. They can't stay true to someone because they have so much to give, but can't seem to direct all towards one person. Our society puts a lot of stress on monogamous relationships. Two people, one relationship. Some people just can't do that. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.

Personally, I'd prefer to be in love with one person while unconditionally loving everybody else (in a much different way). But then I think about having to put up with one person for the rest of my life. I mean, I can't even eat one type of food two days in a row. That might be a problem when it comes to monogamy. That's probably why the divorce rate is so high. People just need variety. That just how we are as humans. 

People always say “once a cheater, always a cheater.” I see that working in some cases, but not others. If that person just can't stay true to one person ever and admits they can't love one person for a long period of time, then fine. I see where the consistency of being a cheater would come into play, but then there's the other cases. I'm talking about the cases where someone has cheated before, but once they find that one person... it changes. They may not have stayed true to others, but they finally fall in love. In this case, they probably cheated because they weren't truly happy in their other relationships. While in this specific one, they have found what they were looking for and don't need anything more.
