cloudboy Post 87: I have a libertarian view of relationships, and as such no one is ever cheating on me. They are just doing what they need to do. The question really is, do my partners want to be with me? Lucky for my partners, it's not all about me and no one else, ever. That's not how I roll. What's funny is having that expectation (it's all about me and no one else, ever) and then being "shocked," "hurt," and "betrayed" that your partner has other interests. Interesting historical note: The founder of the 1848 Oneida NY religious & sex commune (John H Noyes) fervently preached against the self-centric monogamous expectation that you speak of. The pejorative term he coined for that human flaw was "The Claiming Spirit". Parishioners were to continually seek to overcome it.
