Isn't relating and coexisting the reason why we are born? How would you evolve your soul if you are afraid to satisfy such a basic human need? To belong, to be loved, to share, to create...My Saggie nature is fickle and ever searching but relationships have so many stages, ups and downs, joys and sorrows... I want to experience ALL of them. How would I do that if I don't bond with my partner, if I don't give it all I got? It's sad to live on the surface of feelings and never reach the depths only long term relationships offer. Strictly my opinion. My chart: Saturn in a grand trine with Chiron and Mercury. Saturn square Venus. Saturn co-rules my Asc.
i don't believe that commitment and monogamy are basic human needs/urges...because i sure don't feel that way..but maybe i'm not human :-O IP: Logged |

To belong, to be loved, to share, to create... are basic human needs to me. I relate them to commitment as I feel those are best expressed in a stable loving environment and usually but not always after a certain age that commitment is provided by a partner/partners, not your birth family if all else is equal. That is MY MO... but whatever works for you.IP: Logged |

For me it's a one-shot deal, so I have to do it right the first time around, and therefore I wasn't messing around.IP: Logged |

If someone takes my most exposed and vulnerable self and throws it to the wolves - then they are not for me. It's OK. I get up and I try again. Hopefully wiser and more cautious but still without fear.
Oh it's okay. I knew it wasn't directed at me, I was just adding to the discussion. I think it's interesting, and I'm a psychology major after all!
