The crux of it seems to me that if you're going to be monogamous it needs to be for a better reason than ego-based jealousy and control. I hold as ideals both the enlightened monogamous relationship and the enlightened open relationship. Either way, it's about attuning to the genuine flow. How it all plays out in this here world though, is of course a horse of a different color.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-31787077161767265702011-05-06T08:12:26.866-04:002011-05-06T08:12:26.866-04:00Bozoette that is GREAT.
