Sienna Miller Says Monogamy Is ‘Overrated’
Her then-fiancé Jude Law apologized for an affair last year, but Sienna Miller has her own issues with monogamy, she says in a new interview.
“I don’t know, monogamy is a weird thing for me,” Miller, who is still seeing Law, tells Rolling Stone in its new issue. “It’s an overrated virtue, because, let’s face it, we’re f–ing animals.”
Is monogamy an overrated virtue?
Have we become so desensitized in our relationships that it we can’t see the deep and long lasting rewards there are to be had in a committed relationship?
I’m wondering how many people share the same views as Sienna Miller and if they might share their views with me - I’d really like to know what the take is. For the life of me I just cannot imagine being ‘OK’ with my partner having intimate relations with another person.
Am I too old fashioned?

I’ve been married for 25+ years and playing around on the side for 3 years. I was miserable for a long time with the monotony of my marriage. I mean you can only have the same “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” so many times. So after a period of trial and error I have found some “friends” to play with. They keep things fresh for me and life has improved immeasureably. Monogamy is overrated in my opinion.

There is nothing to “rate” or not. Some peeople are picky. Others aren’t. If you’re really into somebody, why dilute it and water it down. Why do things half-assed? She sucks. Monogamy is great whenyou’re in love and it’s hot.

Even when it stops being as zizngy hot, it gets deep and awesome. Most people use sex to avoid each other and really having a relationship. Shallow and superficial they have no clue about what’s great love and sex. Monogamy rocks.

I suppose the part I don’t understand is if a person is “miserable with the monotony of monogamy” why not just leave?
Is there really anything that is so restricting that a person doesn’t have the right to move on and be happy?
As a child of divorce, I can say that I was much happier seeing my parents APART than trying to stay together for the sake of the children.
In as much as children tend to blame themselves for the divorce, they also blame themselves for the misery their parents endure by staying together ‘for the sake of the kids.’
And as far as financial ties, is it really worth it to stay?
I just don’t get that!

I don’t think its overrated but I do think it is very difficult. I always thought cheating was the worst thing you could do. However, even if you love somebody, you can be attracted to somebody else. And if that attraction is really intense, you want to act on it. I feel like we only live once so why pass up an opportunity of a lifetime. That’s not to say you should go out trolling for sex partners if you’re married. But is something special pops up, I think most people would act on it.

To David, i don’t know about you but I don’t understand why you’re in that marriage in the first place. If your wife would do the same thing, I’m pretty sure it’ll be okay right? *wink*
If people are picky, then choose well BEFORE getting married.

I share the same view with Ms. Siena Miller. To some people out there (like Dave) having an open relationship actually helps their current ones - like ’spice up’ their romantic life. To those who are strict on monogamy, you might think of this as a very illogical and immoral lifestyle. But it’s all a matter of perspective - what works for others may not work for you! I don’t think there is any ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to this issue.
