I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Have you considered building an LTR? Many people find value in committed, monogamous relationships because they provide a deeper level of intimacy and connection. In a monogamous relationship, both partners agree to prioritize each other and commit to building a life together. This can create a sense of security and trust that is difficult to achieve in more casual dating situations. As Carl Jung once wrote: This quote suggests that monogamy, despite its challenges, can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and development. He also wrote: This quote suggests that marriage requires a willingness to put the needs and desires of the relationship above one's own individual desires, which can be challenging but ultimately rewarding. Lastly he wrote about how men and women differ when it comes to marriage: This quote suggests that there may be differences in how men and women view love and marriage. According to Jung, the "ordinary man" tends to equate love with the institution of marriage, and sees any love or sexual relationship outside of marriage as either adultery or "platonic" friendship. However, Jung suggests that women may view marriage and love differently. For women, marriage is not just an institutional arrangement, but a deeply personal and emotional love-relationship. This may be because women historically have been socialized to view marriage as a key aspect of their identity and role in society, while men have not been as strongly tied to this idea.
