The idea that commitment = monogamy has rlly rotted some BRAINS. Pretty much every relationship I’ve ever been in has been committed AND pretty much every relationship I’ve been in has been non-monogamous. Love is not defined by who you chose to share your body with.

Having a primary partner but still being able to share other types of intimacy with other people is really freeing and doesn’t make your relationship any less committed. It doesn’t make the love you share any less valuable. Constructs of monogamy dating back to the construction-
