I posted to ask the question that is the title of this thread.
How can you love someone and force them to be monogamous?
It's something that I honestly don't understand and would like for people to attempt to explain. I have mentioned that in my case, when I was a monogamist, it was mainly out of ignorance and brainwashing. I just hadn't seriously considered any other way and was stuck in a rut of unproductive thinking.
Monogamy is something you can choose for yourself. You can decide to never have sex with anyone besides one person. But how can you justify expecting it of your partner and still claim to love that person? That seems like a contradiction to me. I love you, so I shall imprison you into a life of only having sex with me forever
until you die! That sounds downright malicious. It doesn't sound like love.
So, once again, the point of the thread is to get answers to the question from monogamists. How can you love someone and force them to be monogamous?
