Equality

I begin to question, what is the norm in today's society when it comes to relationships. Summary:- Perhaps a century ago the norm is for men to have many women, women are more or less trophies, the more the better. Then some decades ago after legislation were put in force, tradition marriages ensures that each marriage has 1 man and 1 woman. Which was somehow pushed to this society for relationships.

But what is it today? that's because many people have relationships and someone else on the side, but that does not mean it is acceptable for people do follow suit. What about fairness? equality? I am scratching my head at the matter.

Why do some people believe it is acceptable to have someone else? what about their other half? what about the other person? can the word greed be used in this context? each relationships are different and there are many cases where it is difficult to decide on what is right or wrong but is it better for some to just stay together for the sake of staying together? Perhaps some people don't deserve to be loved wholly.

Men or women, deserve to have someone who loves them and someone who will make them their one and only, this is no fairy tale talk, but its a matter of fact. If people enjoy finding a third partner, they may be better of having no-strings-attached relationships or even open relationships. Why refer someone as their other half? what do you call the third person then?

Would the word insecurity come in place? do some worry their partners would have someone else so they do it themselves too? I was reading: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/12/cheating-study_n_4257115.html and someone got curious into the subject.

Some people do not understand the mental stress they give out, perhaps they do but refuse to make a move about it. Perhaps some should be fair, or even have the same experience being put back on them. Maybe they will understand the feeling.

Why is it that when men go and have flings or affairs, they are cheered on whereas women who do the exact thing gets called horrible names and are often frowned upon? Does living a double life really make one happy and secure?
