Do I believe in monogamy?

The answer is simple for me.  And it should be simple for others as well.  Yes. 

It seems to me that in this day and age, the issue of "cheating" is so prevalent in society that people no longer think of it as a "big deal."  Well, news flash ladies and gentlemen: it is.

There's something sacred about marriage.  It's the act of committing yourself to one other person by law and by love.  One other person.  Not twelve other people.  Why the hell would you want that many spouses anyway?  From what I've seen, one is enough... (haha, pick up on the humor... or don't).

Even aside from marriage, just in regular day-to-day relationships, the idea of monogamy should mean something.  If you have a problem with being committed to one other person, I suggest you don't commit at all.  Be a manwhore, or a woman-whore.  Whatever floats your boat these days, but don't commit.  There's no reason to.  If you have the balls to say you're in a relationship with one person, and then start another relationship concurrently with another person, you're not committing.  You're being an idiot.  So don't commit if you have a problem with committment. 

I feel like monogamy and committment, which very much go hand-in-hand, used to mean something.  And thanks to the media's exploitation of it, that is no longer the case.  It's just so casual now.  It shouldn't be that way.  People are given the impression that if they cheat on their significant other, well, then it's no big deal, since everyone else is doing it. 

FALSE PEOPLE! 

Stop cheating.  It's lame.
