i visited a good friend this past week, and we spent almost the entire 29 hours talking: his marital issues, my divorce, and music. We both love music, in an unhealthy way.
At one point he expressed admiration for my recent trysts. i told him not to see them as a good life, because they are not. i wanted to make sure he knew that being able to see the same lovely woman everyday, waking with her, sitting beside her as you watch your children play, talking with her is so much more profound than having multiple sex partners. No matter how much sex there is, it is not nearly enough to replace the love and friendship you can have with one person.
Some say that monogamy is unnatural for humans. Perhaps it is, but the more i explore life the more convinced i am that it fits with me as naturally as breathing.
