MissBee Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Often times, particularly in the Other Woman/Other Man section, it is stated that marriage is not valued, respected, doesn't make a relationship legitimate etc. and then inevitably the affair is contrasted as "more" of everything the marriage is not. It's an interesting point of view and I understand to an extent why it's useful to hold such POVs or draw such comparisons; however, it is so common that I wanted to talk more about it and flesh it out. These questions are for ANYONE, not necessarily those in affairs, who would say they do not value/believe in/respect marriage. My questions are: -What's the difference between a commitment and marriage? -For those who do not value marriage but value your affair or other relationship, what makes the difference in how you decide to ascribe value? -Do you believe in monogamy or humans committing to each other at all? -Is a relationship only valuable, no matter it's title, if you're the one involved in it?
