Modern Day Monogamy

Does that still exist?

Modern Day Monogamy
Chicago Tribune

First, lets begin the reading of this article with a CLEAR definition of what monogamy means: (muh-nog-uh-mee) noun:marriage withonlyonepersonatatime. Okay second, allow me to remove the concept of "Marriage" out of the equation and let's just hypothetically say the factual definition was revolving around a "relationship" with only ONE person at a time. Okay? cool. Now that I have your mind up to date to where I'm going with this... Allow me to ask any reader who stumbles across this article: Do you think Monogamy (relationship wise) still exists? Or has the modern generation ruined all hope of what true love was supposed to be for us? Why do I ask? Why not? It's all we ever talk about on social media these days.Everyone's prone to following up on what "relationship goals" they want to be like when they think they found someone to post the cute pictures with the long love song lyrics as the caption... until someone else has something to say, which you may not have known about, and then, you're left to delete the post completely and post the bitter heart break status about how everyone is all the same and nothing is ever real anymore, yada yada and so on. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not? Thought so. Now next, Why? Why is it becoming more and more difficult to be hands in ten does down with just ONE human being, whether it is of the same sex or not, I personally don't care about that, that's not the focus of today's conversation folks.

I personally was raised in a household tha tyou don't up and wipe your hands with your significant other after one or two maybe even ten rainy days. I mean think about it, would flowers still blossom just as beautifully if there was no rain interaction with the plant? Yeah i didn't think so either. So why has my generation become so lazy at the effort aspect of relationships. Better question for you: Why has my generation failed to take a relationship serious before even getting into one? We're the kids on the block these days that always have trust issues and can't seem to drop everyone else they've been "entertaining" in the mean time between time while getting to know someone in the whole confusing head ache process of "dating", if that even happens anymore. Seriously though, what does it take for guys and girls to only take their time with ONE person at a time? Oh wait, nothing is ever good enough anymore and everyone wants something to fall back on if that makes sense.


Now answer this in your head for me: If you have something to fall back on if all fails with your current relationship that you were supposed to be all in with from the beginning, were you really ever all in? No. you weren't therefore, you contributed to the growing population of players and pimps ruining an innocent persons heartfelt ways. How did you contribute to this revolving error? Because now you just reproduced a inner savage within someone that didn't even have to be, and now they're set our to do the same thing YOU JUST DID. And now, the good, sweet, kind hear-ted people population is dwindling down because its every man for themselves in the game that we were supposed to enter willing to risk it all for a shot of sharing true happiness with ONE person. Catch my drift? If not, you'll come around to some regrettable posts on someone's Instagram today, I'm sure.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
