Monogamy

have somehow gotten sucked into this Lifetime movie about a woman who becomes unlikely friends with her exhusband's mistress (seriously that is what the description says) with the even stranger title "All the Good Ones are Taken." So, now I have to watch to find out what the hell the title has to do with the description.
But it has got me thinking about cheating and people who cheat. When I was younger (high school and especially college) cheating seemed the norm. I know very few people who were truly monogamous during those times.
But now...cheating seems unacceptable. If I am dating someone and he feels the need to have sex with someone else, kiss someone else, ask another girl for her phone number, give his number to another girl, talk to another girl in the middle of the night then just break up with me. Because if a guy has those needs then I am clearly not the girl he needs for whatever reason. And if I feel that need then I shall do the same.
I know Europeans accept infidelity as more of a natural part of life. But Europeans also keep their infidelity to themselves. Unlike Americans who are overcome with guilt and feel the need to tell on themselves.
But we aren't European and I don't want to hear you cheated on me because you feel guilty about it. Just don't cheat or just end things with me first. That is all I ask.
FYI...my affirmation has been working overtime. I will not harbor unhealthy thoughts anymore. I will not harbor unhealthy thoughts anymore. I will not harbor unhealthy thoughts anymore.
I think I've been home sick too many days with too little outside interaction. Too much time to think.
