Loyalty in relationships doesn't make much sense

[rawr]

Before anything I just wanna state that this was a random thought so please don't call me retarded or I will kill myself

It just doesn't make much sense to see someone who surpasses your significant other in every aspect and to not be able to pursue a relationship with them, and to expect your partner to also do the same. I mean loyalty does innately make sense as animals/human beings can't develop (at least not properly) without a loyal parent feeding them, protecting them & raising them in a good environment. It also makes sense in relationships in the sense that a partner should protect one another, but this imaginary rule that you have to stay with your partner no matter what, and how attached people get with their partners just doesn't make that much sense....

Fuck was this a retarded thought?

If there would always be the looming threat of either person just settling for someone better then why would anyone try in relationships anways. The security in the fact that they won't leave you is assuring ig. (dk if this makes sense)

I get that but my point is they're dumb to be in, in general because why stay confined when you could find someone better? Over imaginary rules?

I mean yeah if you were to find someone WAY better that would make you way more happy i'd go for it, the imaginary rules say you're supposed to find 'the one' and settle down

I was more so just talking about someone better in general, you could have a caring S/O but if someone was just a bit better it doesn't make much sense to not be with them.

Yeah even according to people that don't have this viewpoint and are really against cheating would tell you to be with someone way better who makes you happy, but I was just talking about someone who might be a fraction better than your partner

Modern society is set up so that a present father is required for proper development though

Ah yeah that is very true didnt really think this thought through that well

But couples with no intentions of having children still follow this rule aswell?

It'd probably just be obeying each others egos then and cheating wouldn't really matter

there will always be someone better than you or than your partner. that’s the point. being in a relationship is a commitment. if loyalty is not important to you than try non monogamy but loyalty to me makes perfect sense. there’s also stds, betrayal stuff like that, why would u want this? a relationship is supposed to be a partnership not hopping from person to person because they’re “statistically” better. everyone is just different with different flaws.

loyalty is the point of a relationship, I feel like otherwise there's no point being in one if both are happy to go for better
