[This is such a sensitive issue that Diarmuid's gone to the trouble of changing his user name from "Lancer" to the less conspicuous but creatively bankrupt "Question". Whether or not he's still identifiable through some other means is a mystery to him but he's willing to take that chance to find the answers to something that's begun to weigh on his mind as of late.]

Is Bonding with someone without your other Bonded partner or partners knowing the equivalent of being unfaithful? I understand that it can be separate from a romantic relationship but it's just as emotionally involved, is it not?

Just looking at the replies here, everyone has a different concept of what Bonding means to them. I'm even less sure where I stand than before, to be honest with you.

[ How rude... but no, really, he is actually curious how everyone is so keen on dropping all the old habits, and just using their True Names. It's tempting to follow the path, but his name would out two people, not just him.

Alas move along citizen, there are other issues to speak of— while initially it could be seen as a hypothetical question, Diarmuid response suggests he has a personal stake in these musings... ]

You'd probably even got more different responses if you talked with natives. It seems to be a quite personal and intimate thing, and thus the arrangements are going to be as different as people in them. But if you ever decide to Bond, does it matter how others see or think of it? Trust your gut feeling. How you and the other person see it is the most important here.
