Two things I hate about our culture: mononormativity (it's like heteronormativity, but with monogamy instead of heterosexuality) and platonic amatonormativity (demonizing casual sex and bodily, carnal, and sexual connections in general, and divinizing an almost ascetic mental, psychological, and "spiritual" connection [whatever that may be, everyone defines it as they please], being a consequence of the cultural hegemony of Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam)).

Big words don't make you right, mate
Which parts would you like explained better mate?
We can all see you starting down your nose. And we know you have no science to contribute here...
You're the one coming up short is my point.
Red herring, I'll not say anything else
Im not sure ive ever seen a post with this much jargon, and the fact that you spend half the time defining jargon in the post is... something
I was hoping for fuck the ... at the end.
Kind of disappointed.
get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur
This is Lemmy so it'd be "fuck.. " cars?
I guess I'm your polar opposite in that. I think having as intimate and strong a bond as you can with just one other person who returns that in full is one of the most valuable things a person can have in life.
I lost my wife to cancer about a decade back. I'm still in my 40s, so people keep expecting me to find someone else and bringing that up. That's unthinkable to me. I wasn't promising to love her and hold her above all others until she died, I was promising it for my life. Me being hers, her being mine, two being one, etc.
It has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with love and integrity. If I had a similar relationship with another person now I would see that as invalidating so many things, turning the things that mean the most to me into lies. Every "forever", "no matter what", "this life and any after", "one and only" or any similar thing I ever said would retroactively become lies. All the other things about her being the most important, or coming first, or any other endearment that didn't specify ongoing and (if possible) eternal would retroactively have contingencies attached that clearly they only count unless that selfish bitch dies of something.
It feels so wrong to both her and anyone I would move on to and such a betrayal of my own personal values that it's unthinkable to me on the level of cannibalism. When people expect me to move on my revulsion is what I expect it would be if there was a dead person laying there and those people expected me to start eating them.
I didn't need a cultural hegemony of Abrahamic religions to make me feel that eating the corpse of another human or torturing an infant to death is unthinkably wrong, and it's the same with this.
I really think it's a personal thing for your happiness right? You seem happy to carry her memory and knowing that's exactly what matters to you. If others need someone around, or that you can share the future moments with, then you aren't lying about it being "forever" if you continue living life, life changes lots of things. Sharing that love with someone is huge, but they also wanted to be with you for it. They can't be, so if someone finds someone else and they want to walk through life together I'd like to think someone can find that.
Some are happy with the memory, and their values hold that they would never involve another. But others know that they needed each other to get through the good and the bad, and that person isn't here anymore. They'll never be the same as the person who is gone, but it doesn't mean having them in your life is a "failure" or "betrayal"
Damn. What did OP do to get banned from shit posting of all things?
As a fairly new Lemmy user, it's a bit creepy how often I see seemingly normal posts made in the last few hours along with that big red "Banned from community" tag. Starting to feel like there are just snipers on the rooftops waiting to off people who happen to walk by.
The good news is on Lemmy you can check to see what the moderators claim they did wrong, assuming they didn't write "None" for the reason like some of the garbage tier moderators do.
In this case, they allege some of this user's posts were racist.
From what I've seen the gay community is full of 'friends with benefits'. Seems pretty great. Sometimes I resent being straight, where monogomy is basically the only option, and any attempt to break out of it would make me look like a creep.
Hook up culture is very much a thing for straight people. Friends with benefits and booty calls are very normalized. I know several people who have lists of potential bang buddies. I knew of a few friend groups when i was younger where nearly every guy had slept with every girl in the group. If you dont want to be monogamous, just make that clear with potential partners. In my experience i actually struggle to get into monogamous relationships these days as many people don't really want to commit to someone.
I mean, you can be poly.
I just have never met anyone that seems happy in those relationships. I’m sure they exist somewhere but most of my friends are miserable and pretty single despite their openness.
You never met them, because they're too busy shagginnnnnnng!
WHayHey!
