How Monogamous Are You?
Tuesday June 3, 2008
In keeping with the monogamy/infidelity/cheating theme of the week, this poll is to determine just how monogamous people really are. I must admit that already the results surprise me, as they aren't as high as some recent studies have shown, yet this poll shows much higher cheating than the studies quoted in the book, "Lust in Translation," which discusses how infidelity differs both in definition and deed around the world. Fascinating stuff really, and its a book review I'll be posting as well later on this week.
But until then, add your own views to the mix below, and feel free to comment on what you think about monogamy in a dating relationship.

To me, the answer to this question depends on what part of life I was in. Let me go through it in descending order:
Now, I have a happy family with 2 wonderful daughters. I believe I am VERY monogamous at this stage. I must be insane to throw what I have established for the last 25 years away just for some guys on the street.
When my marriage is a bit rocky, I do think about other options. But the thought was just a by-product of my anger and frustration. So I think at this stage, I am PRETTY monogamous.
Before I got married, I was young and quite ambitious. I like to consider my options. So at this stage, I am NOT QUITE monogamous.
When I was young and used to daydream, I thought every guy I met was perfect. So sum up, I was NOT monogamous at all.
