Has anyone here been a long term monogamous relationship? Been dating lots and met some great guys, but seems like everyone wants an open relationship. Doesn’t help that I want kids as well…

29M here too! Been in a monogamous relationship for almost 5 years. My bf has always been pretty against being open. I think his personality is conducive to just being happy staying home most of the time—no need to be at the clubs.

I’m willing to bet good money that half of those on here in monogamous relationships have partners who are not as monogamous as the poster things.

This isn’t limited to gay people either.

JLC1, I have no problem with people being in relationships. No one hurt me. Lol. I don’t even want to be in a relationship. I think it’s just naive to think that most people are in truly monogamous relationships.

Yes. Going 10 years strong but no kids yet. Maybe in the future

I'm 38, in a monogamous relationship from 11 Y, and now married, we spoke about genitoriality because I clarifyed since we met that I don't want kids. But trust me, you'll find someone perfect for you, monogamous and that wants kids 😘

I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
