It boggles my mind inutterably that there is such widespread acceptance of the choices people make, rather than the promises. Marriages are not just between two people and God. There's a reason that others, like witnesses, are involved. A typical strain of words in any marriage ceremony involves the calling upon the people present to help preserve it and keep it alive. To ignore the things that destroy the intent and meaning of marriage by standing by and remaining silent in the face of polyamory is to renege on the promise of aid and assistance. In effect, it draws those poeple into the polyamorous lifestyle as tolerants, if not active participants.<br /><br />Is it so hard for people to just say "Sorry...this is just plain wrong"? It seems that we have all been rendered spineless and feckless by being so "understanding" of our friends' choices. <br /><br />If the spouse accepts polyamory, they are making just as big a mockery of marriage as their adulterous partner. Sure, it's possible that they are adulterers too, but claiming to be "okay" with it doesn't bestow license upon either one.<br /><br />The very institution is a joke now. It used to be a measure of one's character. Now, it's just a way to put on a show to hide the lack of it.curiepointnoreply@blogger.com
