Resentfulness of Long-Term Monogamous Relationships Ameribritwife accurately described the resentfulness of long-term monogamous relationships. Moreover, in a culture smothered with politically correct propaganda, Taken in Hand relationships are relegated to either the sexual bin - including *kinky* - or else they are assumed to be abusive.
The bipolar divisive labeling is but the new demonization of tradition perpetuated by the self-absorbed who herald their own quirky philosophy of transient *free love* as *establishment*. As KrosRogue? points out, marriage itself is considered to be a *kink* by some folks!

We don't seem to be in need of a power hierarchy around here. Marriage can work just fine without that, thanks muchly.

Yes, it can. But for a lot of us it works better with it.
by a Taken In Hand reader on 2005 Apr 28 - 12:45 | reply to this comment Options Are Not Mutually Exclusive Thank you for the feedback. All of it has been thought provoking. Briefly, I want to add a clarification. It was not my intent to indicate that any relationships along the spectrum from dating to marriage are mutually exclusive to each other. Most relationships try to create a mixture of the best of the partners' experiences while leaving the rest behind. Marriages can be as kinky as the partners want it to be. At the same time, these relationships each have distinctive features. Some of which are incompatible with others. For example, multiple partners when dating is not compatible with a monogamous marriage. However, the romance of dating can be a very desirable characteristic in a marriage. This piece was a discussion of why I chose to move to another place on the spectrum. If I marry again, I hope to bring the best of what I experienced in BDSM to my marriage bed if my husband and I agree to incorporate those experiences.
